The first time I was ever exposed to politics was when JFK was assasinated. The memories are still stuck in my mind as my family sat in our living room watching the scenes play out on our 13" black and white tv. Then came LBJ with the Vietnam War, civil rights marches and the race riots. Nixon with his famous peace sign, end of the war and Watergate. In 1975 I was called to political duty. I answered a local newspaper ad to go out and register people to vote. We registered thousands of people in our local community of Rosenberg, Texas.

We will be having the Official Fort Bend County Obama Victory Party Tuesday, November 4^th at both headquarters. Everyone is invited!

The fun starts at 3 o'clock and runs till 11pm. We will have great food, music, and a big screen television to watch the election returns.

We are asking all partygoers to bring a sidedish/dessert to the event. This will be the mother of all parties and we want you to be with us on this very special night.

Imagine driving 600 miles roundtrip to New Orleans and back then waiting for 3 hours to vote for Barack Obama. That is exactly what the Teamese family did this past week. Living in Alief and not registered to vote here, they decided to make the trip back home to make sure their voice was heard. I got a chance to hear their story this past Wednsday night as I was working in the Fort Bend Democratic Headquarters in Rosenberg. Rounding out their trip they stopped by our office and purchased over $180 worth of OBAMA merchandise for themselves and family back in New Orleans.
