Texas

      This weekend in Austin, the State Democratic Executive Committee voted to support Texas College Democrats in their quest to seek tuition relief following the deregulation of state tuition rammed through the legislature by a Republican majority. 
      Deregulation of college tuition has been a dismal failure, as we all knew it would.
      Click here to add your support to the growing list of students, educators, parents, and working Texans who know that deregulation has caused college tuition to increase beyond the means of most Texans.
      Also, contact your legislators and let them know that you support tuition relief because an educated Texas is a working Texas.

How do you know if you are registered to vote?

First, you should have received a Voter Registration Certificate in the mail. This year, the card is an obnoxious orange color, unless you are a UT grad in which case it is the most beautiful orange you have ever seen.

Don't have a card like that? You can check on the internet to see if your registration is active. Here is the link for Fort Bend County: Voter Database Search. If you go to the bottom of the page, you don't have to give your date of birth.

If your search comes up empty, you may be registered in a different county. Try this link to the Secretary of State: Texas Voter Frequently Asked Questions

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:
