TDWCC had a booth at the DPCC Convention on March 20, 2010. Many interested persons came by to chat, some made donations for buttons (“Turn Texas Blue”) and books (Vote!), and many signed up to get emails. Several members were delegates and plan to attend the State Convention in June in Corpus Christi.
Judge Jim Jordan, who ran for Supreme Court Justice in 2008, spoke to the audience and praised TDWCC for all their support during his campaign. It was flattering to hear his kind words knowing who was listening! Judge Jordan did not win in 2008; he attended our Candidate Forum and we contributed to his campaign. He is now running for judge in his district and wants to come to one of our meetings to personally thank us for all our support. He’s a candidate we will want to keep an eye on!

Texas Senator Kirk Watson has set up a “Want to Bust a Monopoly” challenge. He is looking to support candidates who want to break the monopoly that powerful special interests have on our state’s government, and Rep. Carol Kent is one of the candidates. If she gets the most votes, she gets a $10,000 contribution from Senator Watson. This is a great way to “vote” for Carol since she is not on our ballot but has been a great supporter of TDW.

The Democratic Party of Collin County, in cooperation with Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee, will be hosting a “Final Push” phone bank to provide support to President Obama’s Health Insurance Reform Legislation coming up for a vote in Congress in the coming days.
The President has delayed his trip to Asia to help get this passed, and he needs our help — as do of course the millions of Americans whose lives will be improved by this monumental legislation.
There will be some phone lines available, but please bring your cell phone if you have one.
Please RSVP through this link.
Monday, March 15th
6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

This year’s Texas Democratic State Convention will be held at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, June 25-26th. There is great enthusiasm on the part of the Corpus Christi community to welcome our Democratic Delegates, Alternates, and guests to this year’s convention and kick our election season into high gear.
Importantly, in addition to facilitating the business of the Democratic Party, those elected as Delegates and Alternates to the State Convention have a number of opportunities to get involved and support the convention planning process, including soliciting auction items for our Convention Kickoff Silent Auction and helping to find volunteers willing to work at the State Convention.
Texas Democratic Women (TDW), our state-wide parent organization, will hold the Women’s Caucus at the convention and help with the Lady Bird Johnson Breakfast.
