Get Out Of The House! Party in Support of Chris Bell
TIME: Friday, October 20, 2006 at 5:30pm
PLACE: Scholz Garten, 1607 San Jacinto Blvd.
To: Despairing Democratic Women of Austin
From: W.O.R.D (Women Organizing to Revive Democracy)
A couple of weeks ago, WORD started wondering why they weren't hearing anybody talking about Chris Bell. They were hesitant, afraid to get back into the political game after the six years Austin's been through. But there is too much at stake this year to let the Republicans demoralize our party. They can redistrict our city, but they can't redistrict our hearts.
So they decided to throw The Get Out Of The House! Party so all their friends could feel great about voting for Chris Bell. Certainly, his performance in the debate demonstrated why so many people are impressed by him, enough to tell our friends considering "protest" votes to get real and vote for Bell. It's a horse race, and they want to do everything they can to see Rick Perry out the door.
It's going to be a revival meeting, a political rally, and a support group all rolled up into one delicious Democratic sandwich!
Who Else Is Coming: State Representative Donna Howard, poet and activist Genevieve Van Cleve, writer Spike Gillespie, special musical guests, Liz Carpenter's Yellow Dog Democrat mask, and lots and lots of fantastic women from all over Austin.
What YOU Can Do: Come! Invite five friends to come. Please forward this invitation to your friends who need this party--you know who they are!

TO SUBSCRIBERS WHO USE AOL
AOL has become increasingly difficult for independent Internet services and presence providers like ours to work with. The AOL mail user interface has a "Report Spam" button immediately adjacent to the "Delete" button, and not only does this make it hard for many inexperienced (and elderly) users to avoid hitting the "Report Spam" button, but AOL apparently makes little or no attempt to educate its user base on distinguishing between spam and legitimate list posts to which they have subscribed but may not wish to read.
AOL tracks each "Report Spam" it receives from subscribers. If they receive too many complaints from our service, email will be subject to substantial acceptance delays or rejection by AOL's mail servers.
Each time an AOL user hits the "Report Spam" button on a post from a list hosted by our webhost, we receive a "Client TOS Notification" from AOL. If this happens, you will be automatically unsubscribed from the list.
You are free to re-subscribe your address to our lists; however, if you chose to do so, please take the time to use caution or obtain an email address, such as a gmail address, from a different provider. Please be careful when deleting messages.
