Richard Morrison, the man who showed the people of CD 22 that Tom DeLay was vulnerable, today filed for the Democratic nomination for Fort Bend County Commissioner, Precinct 1. Appearing at the Law Offices of Don Bankston in Richmond, Morrison signed the necessary papers and produced his filing fee.

Judge Susan Criss was recently interviewed by Matt Glazer who serves as editor of one of Texas' larger blogs, The Burnt Orange Report.

It's a good interview and you should just go over there and read it by clicking HERE.

Hey Democrats. When was the last time you thanked a soldier for doing what seems to be an impossible task in Iraq? When was the last time you sent a soldier a thank you card for carrying the fight to Al-Qaeda (via the Taliban) in Afghanistan?

Yeah, I thought so.

At last week's meeting of the Fort Bend Democrats, Richard Morrisson, a long-time Fort Bend Democrat and former congressional candidate, announced what we had all been anticipating for months: he will seek the Democratic nomination for Fort Bend County Commissioner - Precinct 1.

I was not there, but I heard about it later. As quoted in FortBendNow, here is what Richard told the Fort Bend Democrats:

"Everyone in Briarwood and Greatwood is furious about this toll road. How can they trust their commissioner to do anything, because he may have taken a contribution from a road-builder, and now he’s sitting in the audience. You’ve got to take a stand for these people"

Remember this campaign ad that appeared on local TV stations in last year's mid term election? I came across it again as I was searching through You Tube's archives.

It made me smile.

Wow. It came up on us so fast.

That’s where I went today in observance of Labor Day. The Holiday Inn Express was the venue of the Washington County Democrats Annual Labor Day Barbecue. I drove up with a contingent of Fort Bend Democrats to show our solidarity with them, and also to eat their barbecue.
