We got the following report from Fort Bend Democrats member and national delegate, Kathy Soltani --

Dear Friends,
I don't think I would do the way I felt yesterday any justice if I were to put it into words. So, I just suffice by saying I had the time of my life. And the best is yet to come!

It is unbelievable how organized and well planned everything is. The speakers are great and there is not even one boring second here. Every time you look around you see a famous reporter or politician go by. The highlight of the evening for me with no doubt was Ted Kennedy. The speech, his powerful presence; and in a way I could feel his two brothers standing next to him. What a moment in history and I was there to take all in LIVE!

We've got the pictures ---

It was a very successful night with great speeches from Leslie Taylor, Richard Morrison, Albert Hollan, Chris Bell, and a stem-winder from Congressman Al Green.

A special thanks to Skip and Judy Belt for their generous donations to make all this possible, and to National Delegate Kathy Soltani and Obama Fort Bend for the decorations and hospitality.

It'll take us a week to recover and digest all the information!

If Texas Republicans think that Democrats are sitting back on our polls and already celebrating a sure victory, they are oh so wrong. Oh so.
It started in Halletsville, Texas, on Saturday with a meeting for the SD18 Democrats. The Senior Citizen Center was packed, and there were even some senior citizens there!

The picture on the left is Martin Siegel, candidate for the Texas 14th Court of Appeals, speaking to the crowd as Leslie Taylor, candidate for the 1st Court of Appeals looks on.

It was standing room only at last night's Leadership Summit training session sponsored by Fort Bend Democrats.

Attendees were given lists of Democrats in their neighborhoods, free Democratic Organizer tee-shirts, organizing materials, and a short lesson on how to register voters.

They also got to hear from local Democratic candidates.

Fort Bend Democrats is proud to announce that we will be opening two headquarters in the county next month.

Our first order of tee-shirts have arrived! They are limited editions done by Fort Bend Democrat / artist Wanda Harris. Wanda's wonderful drawing of Obama is shown beside an Obama quote, "In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about HOPE."

We only have 100 of these in limited sizes so hurry and order yours now!  They are $15 each if you pick them up yourself.

Fort Bend Democrats has a new logo, thanks to our resident artist, Wanda Harris.

Wanda designed the new logo for our tee-shirts, baseball caps, and coffee cups.  Watch this space to see when those items become avaliable.  

 It's time to be Fort Bend Demcorat PROUD!

And Holy Fried Guacamole and Satire on a Stick - somebody is having more fun than allowed by law at www.WomenForJohnMcCain.com You'll get a kick looking around the place.  

Heads-Up. We will have political buttons, rally signs, and bumper stickers at our next meeting. Cheap!
