This message was sent to me from Kris Banks, of The Caucus:
GO VOTE EARLY for Caucus-Endorsed Candidate Maverick Welsh!
Vote Early today until June 9th for Houston GLBT Caucus-Endorsed candidate Maverick Welsh in the District H runoff!
The Caucus endorses Maverick Welsh because he is by far the most qualified and capable candidate in this race.
Focused on Us. In talking with you, one thing has become very clear: you deserve better than business as usual and broken promises from your leaders in City Hall. The issues facing District H aren’t new, and they certainly won’t be solved by the same, failed approaches. Maverick Welsh is asking for your support so he can provide real leadership, solve our problems, and move our District forward.
Fighting for You. Maverick knows how to bring people together and get things done. He’ll use his experience to set up neighborhood-oriented policing, demand a fair approach by the City to lower electricity bills, and fight to get better infrastructure for our money. When you call Maverick Welsh at City Hall, you’ll get solid results, not more business as usual.
It’s Time for Real Leadership. It’s Time for Maverick Welsh. Maverick understands how the City works and how to get things done. As a dedicated community organizer and hard-working civic leader, Maverick has been a highly visible participant in District H for years. As a homeowner in the Norhill Historic District, Maverick is invested in the growth and success of District H, just like you.
Vote early for Maverick Welsh until June 9th, at these locations:
* The Harris County Administrative Building, 1001 Preston St (map)
* Moody Park Recreation Center, 3725 Fulton Street (map)
* Ripley House Neighborhood Center, 4410 Navigation Blvd (map)

Tea Party
"Indeed, the rightward tilt of the state's GOP electorate permitted another Tea Party insurgent to mount a respectable run without serving as a spoiler to Perry's similarly themed campaign. Debra Medina, a darling of the far right, recently made headlines for questioning the government's involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but came in with about the same 16 percent showing that polls registered prior to her gaffe. -http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100304/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1213
The rightward slant of the Republican party in Texas portends ill for its citizens and residents alike. A state already gerrymandered to the Republican's advantage, allowing a comfortable margin for incompetence, is being pulled toward a radical part of the political spectrum.
The Tea Party rejects any workable form of federalism where the Federal government plays a necessarily central role in funding large projects, such as roads and dams, and provides funding for necessary functions, such as public education.
"But by the time Republican voters went to the polls here in a primary on Tuesday, the political ground had shifted under Senator Hutchison, who lost in a three-way race to Mr. Perry." -link to NY Times Article.
The Tea Party candidates posit themselves as outsiders. But, Rick Perry has been governor for over 10 years.

If you really want change, elect someone who hasn't been governor for 10 years. Bill White handily beat several other Democratic challengers, and, Bill White doesn't have to hide under a false agenda.
The Tea Party is a mis-informed tax revolt married to a wild-eyed dream of secession. All States require federal money to complete big projects because this is the tax money not hijacked by regional petty thievery, and, back-stabbing. It provides the wealth to the communities too poor to educate their own children or pave their own streets. And it provides a necessary counterweight to local lapses in judgment.
Don't leave the future of Texas in the hands of a movement that would send us back into the Dark Ages; where a decent education is a luxury, and a decent life is a far-off dream. This is the movement that would deny you your unemployment benefits. In fact, Governor Perry already has.

Texas Employment Law
"Texas employment law does NOT prohibit workplace discrimination and/or termination based upon sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status." -Equality Texas
"The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), federal legislation that would add sexual orientation as a protected class against discrimination, has been proposed but failed in the past few years. But it is expected that President Obama and the a stronger Democratic majority in Congress will pass and enact the law in 2009." -HRHero.com
