Obama

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.

It seems that a lot of people have been coming to the Fort Bend Democrats website looking for the location of the Texas Barack Obama campaign headquarters. According to the BarackObama.com website, there are two Texas offices. One in Austin, and one just up the Southwest freeway in Houston:

Houston Obama Headquarters
3710 Travis St.
Houston, TX 77002

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.

The Republicans are trying to scare America, again. This time, they warn that a President Obama and a Democratic Congress will increase taxes and send the economy into a tailspin. Here's the truth so you can explain it to a child, or to your Republican brother-in-law:

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

These buttons will be $3.00 each. And we have plenty more designs. Tee-shirts have been ordered and we'll have then early next week.

Would you like a FREE Obama bumper sticker?

The stickers are a great way to show your neighbors how excited folks are about Barack Obama. They're high-quality and you can stick them anywhere—your car, bike, laptop, or door.

"If we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth." -- Barack Obama For a video of Barack Obama's speech: http://movies.crooksandliars.com/msnbc_obama_speech_060308.mov

Senate District 18, Fort Bend, met last night at the George Memorial Library in Richmond. They are a good-looking bunch, if I do say so myself.
