David Van Os has been running one of the leanest grassroots campaigns across the state and he's had a cafepress shop for a while. All the proceeds go back into his campaign coffers. Here's another opportunity to get some cool buttons, t-shirts, stickers etc, and help fund David's campaign.
The Van Os campaign has the link on their site

"That was all for a show to play to his religious-right base," says attorney David Van Os, who unsuccessfully challenged Abbott for his seat on the Supreme Court and is running against him for the AG post this year. "There’re much bigger problems facing the the people of Texas than a Ten Commandments model on the state capitol grounds." Van Os acknowledges that as AG Abbott is obliged to defend the state when it is sued, but he says flying to Washington to argue the case himself was pure political grandstanding.
Van Os is also bitter about Abbott’s role in the 2002 redistricting battle that secured Republican control of Texas’ U.S. Congressional seats in the 2004 elections. Abbott signed off on the plan, putting the state in the role of defending what appears to Democratic observers as a naked power grab. "An AG who knew that his job was to be the people’s lawyer would not have given
Craddick and Dewhurst such an easy, free pass." Sonia
