I blame Kos, and his Leave Everything On The Road talk.
I don't want to wake up Nov 5, and still have John Cornyn as a Senator from the state of Texas.
There are a lot of things I can't do right now due to health issues, and I already early voted for Rick.
But if Rick and Melissa and the rest of Team Noriega can keep running through the finish line...
WHAT: Rick Noriega to speak at El Paso Get Out the Vote Unity Rally. From Early Vote through Election Day, Rick Noriega, candidate for US Senate, will be traveling Texas on The Road to Victory Tour, meeting Texans and talking about his plan to get the economy back on track, to tackle rising costs of college tuition and to make sure all Texans have access to quality, affordable health care.
WHO: US Senate Candidate Rick Noriega and other Democratic candidates
If the Houston Chronicle:
It will be especially important for Texans to have a strong, respected voice inside the expected Democratic majority in the Senate. Rick Noriega offers such a voice, with a distinctive Lone Star tone and perspective. The Chronicle endorses Noriega for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Republican John Cornyn.
Noriega, a Houstonian, describes himself as a Texas Democrat. That term, once common currency in the state's political conversation, seems to have fallen out of favor over the past several Republican-dominated years. But it resonates once more in this season of voter discontent with partisanship uber alles. Some old-fashioned moderate bipartisanship, Texas style, should be much welcomed in the Washington debate, particularly on overheated topics such as energy and immigration. Rick Noriega can provide it.
...and the Waco Tribune:
the Tribune-Herald editorial board finds Noriega impressive and recommends him in the U.S. Senate race.
A lieutenant colonel in the Texas Army National Guard, Noriega spent a year in Afghanistan in a command position in the wake of 9/11.
Later he would get an up-close look at border security issues with the Guard along the Mexican border.
Combine this with experience in the Texas Legislature — elected to four terms in the House — and Noriega has a superlative resume in public service.
can see that Texas needs Rick Noriega to serve honorably, then I can max out my credit cards to lend a hand.
If you can join me, I know Team Noriega will put that cash to good use.
Run through the finish line, and leave everything on the road.
For Texas and for Texans.
Update: Wouldn't it be great for Texans to see this ad on their tv for the next 12 days?
