Above you see about an event J.D. Vance is part of on the campaign trail. Here is the link to the article  about the rally. The article is as disturbing as you might imagine.  

(J.D. Vance lives in my hometown of Cincinnati where I visit twice a year. He lives in a gentrifying multi-racial neighborhood not far from the art museum and playhouse. Cincinnati City Council is 9-0 Democratic. I don't know why he wants to live around all those bad people and devil-inspired art.)  

You'd think with these horrible people so close to the White House & the exciting prospect of electing Kamala Harris as President and Colin Allred as U.S. Senator from Texas, that well-funded Houston and Harris County elected Democrats would be active in the campaign.    

There are many rank & file Democrats in Harris County block-walking in the heat, buying stamps for postcards to voters, making small donations, buying yard signs and making phone calls for candidates. They show up when needed.  

Who are elected Democrats that could help the 2024 Democratic campaign in Harris County & help Colin Allred beat Ted Cruz?

​Here are some suggestions:       

County Commissioner Rodney Ellis has $6.2 million campaign cash on hand.

State Senator Carol Alvarado has $1.2 million campaign cash on hand. 

Houston Mayor John Whitmire has $9.9 million campaign cash on hand.   
 
Mayor Whitmire insists he is a Democrat. So let's take him at his word.   

Commissioner Ellis, Senator Alvarado and Mayor Whitmire have very successfully navigated systems that have taken us to the brink of authoritarianism, mass deportations and that have messed up the weather. It's not a lot to ask them to use the resources they've amassed over the years in these failing systems to help make sure we don't lose our freedom.

I encourage Commissioner Ellis, Senator Alvarado and Mayor Whitmire to connect right away on a Zoom call, or meet tomorrow over a cup of coffee, to determine a strategy to use their impressive campaign banks to bring home victory in 2024. After meeting up, the three could lead a block walk detailing their strategy to the press as they knock doors.                 

The Harris County Democratic Party has a listing of which candidates and elected officials have contributed to the HCDP Victory 2024 Fund Campaign. That is the county coordinated campaign. There is also a chart of which candidates and elected officials have been knocking doors across the county.

​Check out both lists. Thank the people on it & ask questions of the people you don't see.    

Elected officials are rarely reliable allies. They often have different objectives than do active rank & file Democrats. The good news is that they are our elected employees. You can ask them tough questions. We all have a lot on the line in 2024. Ask them the tough questions while there is still time to impact the outcome of this election.                
    
Here is a fundraising pitch for Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways.  Please help the effort.

Please sign the Houston Democracy Project petition to make the pledge to show up for freedom in 2024 no matter what.

    I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.
