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.

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.
