By Deb Cascino - Oct. 2, 2009
Cooks Political Report has said Texas is a toss-up as to whether we will have a Democrat or Republican U.S. Senator after Kay Bay Hutchison finally resigns. You have the opportunity to listen to BOTH the Democratic US Senator hopefuls, among others, at our rally tomorrow, Sat. Oct. 3, from 11:30 - 4, Hall Middle School, 902 Charles Street, Weatherford, TX 76086. (see John Sharp: www.johnsharp.com and Bill White: http://www.billwhitefortexas.com/ John Sharp speaks at 12 noon "sharp", followed by Hank Gilbert at 12:30, then Bill White at 1:00.

We will also host two of the four Democratic gubernatorial candidates: Hank Gilbert (see http://hankgilbert.com/ ) and Felix Alvarado (see https://www.felixalvarado.com/Home_Page.html )

Railraod Commissioner Democratic candidate Jeff Weems http://jeffweemsforcommissioner.com/and Bill Burton Democrat for Land Commissioner http://www.billburton.net/ will also be speaking. Attoney General candidate Barbara Radnofsky http://www.radnofsky.com/and Tom Schieffer http://www.tomfortexas.com/will be sending representatives in their absence to speak.

We need a large turnout so please make special plans to drop by and have some BBQ, baked goodies, and bid on silent auction items. Visit with local organizations and Dems and Indies from Parker and counties contiguous. You can get registered to vote, or you can write a letter to soldiers overseas. You can meet other like-minded individuals. You can do your own research on the candidates and not depend on what others tell you about them.

Bring your questions and mingle with the candidates and local Democrats and Independents as we kick-off the 2010 Primary Election Season.

ALL HANDS ON DECK: We still need auction items and baked goods. If you have something of value you'd like to donate to the silent auction or baked goodies, please contact me immediately at 817-657-4578. The rally costs are nearly $3,000, and we appreciate any amount you can donate to help defray our expenses. (See the figures below). Please do not send corporate checks or cash. Mailing address: Parker County Democratic Party, 107 N. Alamo, Weatherford TX 76086.

Also don't forget to drop by Weatherford College's Alkek Fine Arts Center to join us for a 9:00 a.m. send-off for 203 area National Guard as they prepare to be deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Hope to see you at one of the biggest Democratic gatherings in Texas tomorrow!

Parker County Democratic Chair,
