Like Pop Up Stores, Primary Candidates Extract Resources & Come And Go-We Are The Main Act

I don't comment often on or think about very much who should run in what Democratic primary. Nobody is getting in or staying out of a race off what I'm saying. Who knows what 
motives everyone involved really has? 

For example, in the Texas U.S. Senate primary Allred, Talarico and if she gets in Crockett, are essentially running multi-million dollar businesses that want to extract our resources of time and money. They are like pop-up stores just around for Halloween or Christmas. They come and go. You can't get your money back if you've been ripped off because the outfit has folded. 

​Above you see a Halloween pop up store. 


One candidate will advance and the resources amassed by the loser(s) will be gone. The nominee will either win or lose the general election.

It is important to defeat Cornyn, Paxton or Hunt next November.

It's also important that the rank & file have the resources, autonomy and power to hold candidates and electeds fully accountable. We are the main act and it is our rights and freedom on the line.

Candidates come and go. Our need to support one another, have each others back and use our own power always remains.

    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.
