Gun Owners Caucus making debut at Texas Democratic Party State Convention in June
If you are a delegate or alternate to the Texas State Convention on June 6-7, I'll be hosting a Gun Owners Caucus at the convention. Here's the details:

Friday, June 6, 2008 at 9:00am
Austin Convention Center
Level 3, Room 8B
500 E. Cesar Chavez Street
Austin, TX 78701


We have at least two speakers scheduled to attend - Rick Noriega, Texas State Representative and Lt. Col. in the Texas National Guard who's gunning for John Cornyn's seat in the US Senate, and Ray McMurrey, one of Noriega's challengers in the Democratic Senate primary.

Further updates can be found on the Amendment II Democrats site: http://www.a2dems.net

See you there!

Coalitions win, ideologues lose. We need a big tent here in Texas.

2. I don't suppose you could come to California?
We could use some of this to dispel the "Dems want to take your guns away" bullshit.

3. You might want to check out the Gun Owners Caucus across the border in Oregon
In terms of logistics, they might be in better shape to help pro-RKBA Democrats in California than I am. Here's the address for their blog:

Thank you for your interest! :hi:

6. And I think the lottery is now closed
Sorry, SteveM - hopefully you won't have to wait two years until next time! :hi:
