Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3, Place 2: Denise Graves
(Sorry, I am still looking for a good link)
This link is to an article in The Baytown Sun. Apparently, there were four Democrats vying for the spot for justice of the peace on the primary ballot. Now, for all of the above endorsed positions, we are in a Democratic primary runoff. Hows that for photo-finish politics?
I was honored to attend The Caucus meeting where some of these endorsements took place. Some meeting time was set aside for advocacy. For instance, we are supposed to be returning our Census forms.
The meeting I went to was held the first Wednesday of March. And you are welcome there, even if you are not a member. Memberships to The Caucus are inexpensive. Even I can afford the dues. And they do so much for the GLBT Community.
It would be easy for anyone to become a member of The Caucus and help guide this organization forward. Its easy, and, its a great place to meet GLBT-friendly candidates face to face. Plus, as I like to tell my friends, non-profits are the best place to meet nice people because they are the ones who tend to care about the community. After all, they are volunteering.
Technically, they are non-partisan, but, there are a lot of Democrats and not too many of anyone else.
Go to the Democratic convention and join one of the resolutions committees. Help guide the Democratic leadership forward. It is called democracy for a reason. And we need you to be there.
James Legare
"The race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3, Place 2 will certainly go to a Democrat, as no Republican candidates filed to run. Voters at the Democratic primary contest will effectively choose the only candidate on the ballot come November. " - The Sentinel

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
