Oh! My bentos ARE broken !

Who knew Texas would be in play for the primaries? Not me. So now, every spare moment, and only one successful bento box lunch later, I am still campaigning for my candidate. I am tired, I have been sunburned, and I have missed the entire event (once) because I was outside (as a volunteer) working the line of folks waiting to enter the venue to see Barack Obama.

I am glad to support Sen. Obama, I do it for my grandchildren, because we need HOPE back in the USA, and someone to inspire the young people of this nation, who will then be empowered, inspired, and ready to lead their generation. This is not a political blog, but I felt I needed to explain why I am not adding much to this site right now. Texas is so important right now, and I have been working for my candidate of choice. If Obama is not your choice, that is fine, I believe it is time that all of us become respectful of each others' beliefs, without becoming critical and nasty. All of us, for our own reasons support the person we believe in. That does not make any of us less patriotic or whatever, it just adds to the flavor of what made our nation great, and can do so again, post Bush.


I am also precinct chair in my county, so I can't mix my job a precinct chair with my politics. I have been extremely careful not to do so, but it has been frustrating because I had a lot of information that according to the rules, I could not use. So, I did not use it at all. I only hope others in my position were ethical as well.

Now I find that Sen. Clinton, has told her adherents to disrupt the caucuses . This really pisses me off! In the past, we all have tried to do our best during our caucuses. Now Sen. Clinton had decided (apparently) to try to mess with the caucuses. I find that unfair. We DO have rules in Texas and she should abide by them,and not tell her adherents to attempt to subvert them.

Hillary Clinton and her campaign is pushing for precinct captains for Texas' 8,000 Democratic polling places. They need to train folks to lead the caucus sessions that will determine more than 60 delegates after the primary voting is over.
In training materials being handed out by the Clinton campaign, it is clear that they want to control those caucus sessions.
The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles."
It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serves as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.
"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."
