Even If It Is Far Away, Let's Make It Local

​The election a few days ago in Australia was another clear case--along with Canada last week--of Trump--and all who have enabled him including here in Houston/Harris County--costing the right an election they were set to win. In Australia, the right took heaver losses than in Canada.

This is a good trend for the U.S. in 2026. Elections are important.

Here are three questions about 2026 elections:
​
1. Will the right allow them to be conducted and counted fairly and how will we fight back? 

​2. Even if Democrats make strong gains, when will we openly address the question of how to end--and how to win--a lifetime of conflict with the right?

3. Will local Democratic leaders such as Rodney Ellis & Carol Alvarado, invest their substantial campaign $'s in helping active rank & file Democrats as we work to protect our judges and our majority on the Harris County Commissioner's Court.

Even if it is far away, let's make it local. Our fight is right here. We can't allow Trump's poor poll numbers at the moment or the fact his brand seems toxic across much of the world, allow the Democratic establishment to tell us just wait until for the next election rather than to hold them accountable and to take leadership on our own. 

​Here is the Houston Democracy Project list of things each of us can do to fight Trump/Musk. Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways.  Please help the effort. ​​

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later Egberto's YouTube channel.

    I'm Neil Aquino.

    I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy. 

    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.
