Saturday I went to the monthly Democratic meeting, it was good!  The question and answer segment that Gene has institued is great.  It opens up conversation between everyone. 

Monday I went to the Democratic Women meeting.  Also very informative.  I know I'm not a woman but what the heck.  I'm at ease with my feminine side.

Tuesday night I sat in on the Executive Committee meeting.  That's where I walked away with a ton of names and maps and e-mails and phone #'s and a sense of fired up enthusiasm.  I also learned we have a lot of work to do, to get this thing organized here in our neck of the woods.  Gene and Lisbeth and Judy Teller have supplied me with a ton of information and events that will enable the Fannin County Democrats to make huge strides this election.  But everyone has to pitch in a little bit for this to work.  All the precinct chairs are working on "Precinct Teams" to get this work done.  Gene has suggested that each precinct needs as many members on their team as they had delegates at the County Convention.  I then realized that my precicnt, #18, is the largest in the county, we had 22 delegates at the County Convention.  I told Doris, my precinct chair, not to worry I'd handle it.  SO HERE WE GO!  If everybody that reads this contacts their precinct chair and volunteers to be on that team that would save them a lot of headache.

(Email from Melissa Noriega, for Rick Noriega's Senate campaign.)

This week and the next, my husband Rick Noriega will take leave of his campaign to perform mandatory National Guard Annual Training (AT).

During this time, I will be joined by several prominent Texans in the effort to "Fill Rick's Boots" on the campaign trail.

Each of us has agreed to give several hours of our time to raise funds for Rick's campaign while he is away. I'm honored to fill in for my husband. And I am hoping you will join me and help us "Fill Rick's Boots."

We've set an ambitious $50,000 online fundraising goal for the 2 weeks that he's gone, and there are 2 ways you can help right now:
