It's almost here. Later today we should know if Donna Howard is indeed our next state representative from HD-48.
You can phonebank online here.
You can donate here, how about $14 for Valentine's Day!
The Daily Texan has endorsed Donna in their op-ed today.
The polls are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Tuesday. (polling locations) Make sure to cast your ballot for positive change, then please consider any of the following ways to help send Donna to the State Capitol to represent our community's mainstream values. * Put a Donna Howard sign in your yard
* Make phone calls to your friends and neighbors to make sure they vote
* Provide a ride to the polls
* Work a polling place for a few hours
* Block walk with others in your community
Call Donna's campaign at 512-971-9488 to find out how you can help.
And from a TCDP email...
You can use the website at Friendsvote.org to find out which of your friends and neighbors are eligible to vote for Donna Howard on Tuesday, and send them a reminder and a link to a map to the specific polling place they should go to on Tuesday. The site shows whether they have already voted early, as well as whether they voted in January.
A lot more people are going to vote in the runoff than did in the January election. 7,668 people voted early, a 68[%] increase despite a much shorter early-voting period -- the final turnout might double. We cannot afford to assume that the good January results will automatically repeat.
About 2,600 of the early voters were people who did not vote in January. Of these new voters, there were almost 200 more with Republican-primary history than with Democratic-primary history, and over half had no party-primary history. We need to catch up on election day by getting known friendlies to the polls -- YOU can help make it happen.
Now, as far as numbers go, I have been told that through Wednesday last week, it wasn't the 50/50 this e-mail says. It was more...
40[%] Democratic History
25[%] Republican History
20[%] Mixed History
15[%] No History
In any case, today is the day. Do everything you can.
