Luke Hayes, the new Texas State Director for Organizing for America. MEET Luke @ link
I wasn't sure if Texas DUers knew about this, sooooo.....

Email I received:

Since Inauguration Day, Organizing for America has been dedicated to making real the change we fought for during the election. But to be successful, we need to hear from you -- your effort and commitment are the backbone of this movement and this organization.

That's why I'm so excited to announce that we're back on the ground in Texas and, starting this week, we'll be hosting Listening Tour Town Halls across the state.

At Listening Tour meetings, you'll get a chance to meet new state staff members, hear about some lessons learned during the general election, and offer your thoughts on how we can organize Texas going forward. Your ideas will be used to write a Texas-specific plan for Organizing for America in 2009 and beyond.

The campaign brought an unprecedented number of new voices into the process -- we need to make sure those voices remain at the center of the debate as the President and Congress work on providing solutions for our economy.

But these meetings are not just for folks who were involved in the campaign -- we're hopeful that every Texan will get involved.

We can't stop growing our movement now. We've never had a better opportunity to shape our future -- and just like during the election, we'll do it from the bottom up.

Sign up now to attend a Listening Tour event:

1. I don't think Obama is listening..
He certainly isn't listening the growing crescendo on DU over Bush and Company and this morning's announcement by Rahmbo that Obama does not support prosecution of torture isn't helping the growing crescendo.

Just one great big happy family. Wonder when they will announce they have adopted Barack?
