You know, the Texas I grew up in wasn't like this. Ok, perhaps I was young & innocent but there does seem to be a change - for the worse - that started happening some 20 years ago & has become visible today.
It's gotten meaner. Uglier. And well, REDDER.
Is that a coincidence? Hell no!
And maybe some of you started like us. Wondering what the heck happened & what was going on. Maybe you didn't understand what "it" was, but you knew you didn't like the direction your state (& heck, country) had moved in.
A bunch of thieves, thugs, and nutcases took over Texas & used it as a stepping stone to Washington, DC.
Well, a bunch of us got together to do something about that and we formed Texas KOS about a year. It wasn't a big idea - just find a place for Progressive Texans to talk. Well, 16,000 messages later, we found out we not only like to talk but we want to DO something to remake this great state.
& Today TexasKOS.com is open & we need your help to build a community that will clear this state's good name & clean up our politics.
Ok, some of y'all noticed early & joined up (Thanks for ruining the surprise, folks!), but this is a formal invitation to you to join Texas KOS.
Which by the way, we're pronouncing "Texas Chaos" & I think it's appropriate: we aim to disturb the status quo that's been going on around here for a couple decades.
Our motto & goal is simple: Take Texas Back. We aim for nothing less than taking back every stinking piece of Texas that the Repubs have taking & then some.
It will not be an easy fight but we have no choice. We cannot let the state & country continue to go in the wrong direction - spearheaded by a gang of incompetent morons & thugs that are using Texas as a base of operations.
We've got a great crew of writers & we're looking for your input. Please help us clear up the good name of this beautiful state & Take Texas Back BLUE!
Sincerely,
TexasKOS.com
