This post at Stop Cornyn has our blood boiling.
Why was Cornyn the only major public figure not at the Lady Bird funeral today? Is it because:
- he died in a plane crash on the way
- had a fundraiser already scheduled somewhere else
- or is just too ideological and small a human being.
Everyone was there but him (including Rick and Anita Perry). Everyone."I couldn’t make it" is no excuse. Frail Nancy Reagan came all the way from California to join the others. Even frailer Betty Ford sent her daughter Susan. Even Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was there.
The passing of a former fist lady from Texas. What on earth could be so important that Texas's "Junior" Senator couldn't make it when so many of his political colleagues could? Where was he- Fundraising? Strategizing? Campaigning?
We as Democrats have always disagreed with Sen. Cornyn's politics. But now we as Democrats must question his priorities. In the last year we as Texas Democrats have lost three of our greatest voices- three women who have advocated against the type of politics and priorities that Cornyn holds.
We have lost Gov. Ann Richards. May she rest in peace.
We have lost Writer Molly Ivins. May she rest in peace.
We have lost First Lady Lady Bird Johnson. May she join Lyndon in peace.
There have been many great Democrats that have embodied the spirit of Texas. But slowly they are slipping away from us as time takes it's toll on the era of FDR, JFK, and LBJ. It is up to us of the modern day, the next generation, to pick up their banner and proudly march forward. It is up to us to keep that spirit alive and breathe new life into what it means to be a Texas Democrat. It is up to us.
This is the final straw. It is the beginning of the end for Junior Senator John Cornyn. And we are asking you to join us in stunning the nation when we win in November of 2008 and assert an end to the Era of George W. Bush and John Cornyn.
Our philosophy is simple, it doesn’t matter who you support as long as you support a Democrat. Whether you support attorney Mikal Watts, Lt. Col & Rep. Rick Noriega, or whomever the eventual nominee is, it is time to channel our talk and emotion into real world support to take back Texas.

It is never too early to support your candidate and prepare for 2008. John Cornyn has $5.34 million in his pocket right now from the oil and gas lobby and right wing political action committees. While Cornyn takes thousands from special interest lobbyist hoping to maintain the status quo, it is time for us to join together and create a people powered revolution.
In 2006 Virginia and Montana shocked the nation by taking out Conrad Burns and George Allen. Now it is our turn.

Cornyn has found the time to visit Dallas and suburban Houston to talk about how great the war is going and validate his stance on immigration policy. Apparently there is no political upside in honoring the legacy of "Lady Bird" Johnson.
We aren’t asking you to match John Cornyn’s millions, but making a small donation today makes a difference tomorrow.
Together we can make a difference. If 100’s of concerned Texans team up and donate just $5, $10, or $25 we will stop Cornyn and get our country back on track.

Why do you want to get rid of Junior John Cornyn? Do you oppose this terrible war? Gas prices too high? Does it feel like you are working twice hard to get half as much? Not sure why CEO’s are making record bonuses while working families can hardly afford health insurance? What has John Cornyn done to make Texas better off?
It is time to build an army of Texans working for change. Together we can help Cornyn retire.

You don’t have to donate thousands to make a difference. Take your pocket change or give up your morning coffee just once to take our state back. Small sacrifices can make big impacts.
We're not asking you to give much. We're asking you to add your voice to the chorus. Go on the record as opposing Cornyn. Do it for your state. Do it for yourself. Do it for the memory of great Texas Democrats.
Just do it and do it today.
