Fort Bend Democrats

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 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.

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!

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.

We are making plans for this election season that promises to be the best one since our founding in 1992.

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.

 

Well, Boy Howdy, it was a doozy.

If you missed State Representative Senfronia Thompson's inspiring words and charming humor last night, we have some pictures to share.
