Independence Day Parade, 2010, Plano, TX

Texas Democratic Women joined other Democrats and candidates in Collin County to walk in the annual Independence Day Parade in Plano, TX, Saturday morning, July 3. The crowd was large and friendly despite the rainy weather. Many parade watchers expressed their support for Bill White and the other Democratic candidates.  Some members also went to the Grand Opening of Bill White’s campaign office in Dallas on Forest Lane and Inwood. Mayor White spoke enthusiastically to a packed house.

The next meeting of the TDWCC book club, B.R.O.A.D.S., is July 15 at 7pm at a private home.  Contact Lynn Wolfe for details.  All are welcome.

The book for the meeting is Framing the Future: How Progressive Values Can Win Elections and Influence People by Bernie Horn.

Polls show that most Americans are progressive on issues like healthcare, taxes, gun control and abortion, but all too often don’t vote that way. Veteran political operative Bernie Horn says it’s because progressives need to offer a more coherent vision of their guiding values.

In Framing the Future, Horn shows how to align progressive positions around the three bedrock American values of freedom, opportunity and security—a strategy that is backed by rigorous poll-testing and has been used to win elections across the nation.
