The Texas Democratic Party has launched an effort to sign up seniors and the disabled living in rural areas for permanent absentee voting. While those living in big cities have a reasonably simple path to vote early, many of those in rural areas do not, so this is an effort to semi-permanently bank a big bucket of votes for every election. For only $.38 per voter, we can sign them up. This is a way those living in even the bluest of neighborhoods (I'm in NorCal now, but spent a Looooooong time in Texas before) can help Turn Texas Blue!

While unemployment is still too high, we did our part today--doubling our workforce.

According to one of the candidates for State Party Chair, the Texas Republican Party is actually deep in the hole. Nate Crain is the guy who managed the decline of the party in Dallas County and now wants to fail upward into Austin, and he's doing it by attacking the current management.
His letter is here (thanks to quorum report).

This is the second Entercom station to pick up the format, so they must be doing well in Rochester. Given the number of other medium-to-small markets they own, maybe we're at the beginning of another dramatic increase in broadcast coverage.

Now, if somebody in Dallas would just wake up and put them on the air, so I can listen in my pickup.

Progress for America Voter Fund is the evilest of the Republican 527's. Who gave them $1,000,000 last quarter? TRT Holdings, the owners of Omni Hotels and Gold's Gym. The Rowling family made a fortune buying and selling natural gas pipeline companies and oilfields, and have now moved into the leisure business.

Let's show them we don't support their right-wing fundie politics by simply declining to stay in their rooms or use their machines. There are other hotels and other gyms.

Visited (at their request) a nursing home in a heavily-Republican first-ring suburb in Dallas County today and filled out mail ballot requests and new voter registrations for 15 of the residents--only 2 of them were Republicans. The rest were interested in getting rid of Bush (and the two who wanted to vote for Bush I talked into supporting the D candidate for County Sheriff.)

Also registered 7 healthcare workers at this location, only 2 of whom had ever been registered before, and all of whom said they were voting for Kerry (and the entire D slate). I'm beginning to think that we should even visit high-end nursing homes, if only to register their employees, who understand the "two Americas" concept completely.

Granted, it doesn't mean we'll carry Texas, but it does show that the "red suburbs" aren't necessarily all that red.

Just heard from a buddy in the business that KBME in Houston (allegedly a Clear Channel station that plays oldies) is considering a switch to Air America.
