MESSAGE FROM CHAIR CHRIS ELLIOTT ON THE PASSING OF LADY BIRD JOHNSON
Dear Fellow Democrats:
The world, especially our little corner of it here in Travis County, Texas,
is a little less beautiful and graceful today as we mourn the passing of
Lady Bird Johnson. There is not much that I can add to the eloquent words
that have been, and will be, used to describe and pay tribute to this lovely
woman. However, there is among the many wonderful attributes that she
possessed one that stands out in particular to me, and that was her grace in
the eye of some of the most turbulent political storms this country has ever
seen.
In this day and age of win-at-all-costs political campaigns and never ending
partisan bickering, we should all pause to think about the example that Lady
Bird Johnson set. She never had an unkind word to say about anyone,
regardless of their political stripe or agenda. She saw beauty and grace in
everything and constantly reminded us of the better things in this world and
of the better instincts that we as human beings possess. We could use more
reminders of those things in the world today, and of that, her passing is a
sad reminder.
We will miss you, Lady Bird. Hopefully, we can all carry your example
forward and make the world a little better place. You certainly did.
Democratically yours,
Chris Elliott
Chair, Travis County Democratic Party

LADY BIRD JOHNSON PUBLIC EVENTS
Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14
1:15 p.m.: The public is invited to pay final respects as she lies in repose
in the Great Hall of the LBJ Library and Museum, where her husband,
President Lyndon B. Johnson, lay in state in January 1973. The vigil will
continue through the night until 11 a.m. Saturday.
Sunday, July 15
9:00 a.m.: The public is invited to line up along the route of the
ceremonial cortege that will pass through Austin and carry Mrs. Johnson to
the LBJ Ranch in Stonewall.
The route will begin at the Capitol at 9 a.m., proceed south on Congress
Avenue to Cesar Chavez Street and head west along the shores of Town Lake.
The cortege will go to U.S. 290 and travel through downtown Johnson City,
past President Johnson's boyhood home. The public portion of the cortege
will end in Johnson City, and the procession will continue to the LBJ Ranch
outside Stonewall, where she will be buried in a private ceremony in the
family cemetery. The state and national parks and Ranch Road 1 will be
closed to the public that day.

***********************************************************************
CAN YOU WORK 3-5 ELECTIONS OVER THE NEXT YEAR?
The most important item at the TCDP right now is to submit a comprehensive
list of term-appointed Presiding Judges (a.k.a. Election Judges, the folks
who work at your polling locations on Election Day) for a one-year term,
August 1, 2007 – July 31, 2008. There will be approximately 3-5 elections
during this one year term depending upon where you live and whether there
will be any run-off elections.
You must live in the precinct in which you work and you will be asked to
work every election that is determined for your precinct. This means
working the March party primary yet also includes elections for city
council, independent school district boards, Austin Community College board,
bond and state constitutional elections, etc. In short, you will represent
the Travis County Democratic Party at party primaries, but you are expected
to work, if possible, each and every election. Pay for the primary is set
by the Texas Secretary of State. Currently the hourly rate for the 2008
Primary is $7.00/hour. All other election pay is $10/hour for
presiding/alternate judges.
TCDP’s deadline for turning in the County Party's list of term-appointments
to the Travis County Elections Division is July 16th. By law, the Elections
Division must take our list to the Commissioners’ Court to have them
approved during the latter half of July 2007. HOWEVER, a supplemental
term-appointed list can be submitted to the County Commissioners' no later
than October because of the state constitutional election on November 6,
2007. We currently have 69 positions filled but we need 215 total. In
other words, we are at 32% of having these spots filled but we would
certainly like to achieve over 50% if not 100%.
And here is another reason to keep in mind why we need folks to sign up to
be a Presiding Judge:
If we do not find people to work these polling locations and the county
election folks have to help us recruit judges, the TCDP will be charged a
hefty fee. For the 2006 Primary, the TCDP was charged more for this service
than the Travis County Republican Party. We simply do not want that to
happen again. We are sure that you would agree that the TCDP should spend
more of its money reaching Democratic voters than recruiting judges during
January and February of next year!
Election Judges are needed in the following precincts:
100's
106 107 110 111 112 113 123 132 137 140 141 145 150 153 154

***********************************************************************
BECOME A TCDP SUSTAINING MEMBER!
Since 2004, seven Republican-held offices within Travis County have switched
to Democrats, and now, there are only three Republicans left! As you can
see, the TCDP has stepped up to make Travis County even more Democratic!
Sustaining members are our lifeblood. They are the reason that we are open
year-round (one of the five county parties in Texas), have two staff
members, and our work has been so successful. We do not receive any funds
from the national or state parties!
Stand with us and other Travis County residents and support TCDP by becoming
a Member. We have two levels of membership:
Sustaining: minimum of $10.00 per month or $120.00 annually.
Finance Council: minimum of $84.00 per month or $1000.00 annually. Members
at this level receive prominent listing in our publications and web site as
well as at Travis County Democratic Party functions along with free
admission to TCDP sponsored events.
The Travis County Democratic Party is dependent on your generosity for
everything we do!
As Blair Dancy, president of Texas Environmental Democrats of Austin, says,
"All politics are grassroots, but they all need organization. Austin and
Travis County lead the state by example, and our success all comes back to
the great people at TCDP. For the price of my family's monthly pizza
binges, I'm part of the Finance Council and able to help keep the Democratic
Party strong here in Austin. Every financially-able Democrat should
consider contributing to keep it this way."
To join the Travis County Democratic Party go online to:

***********************************************************************
THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING!!!
Can you feel it? Everyday brings another scandal coming out of Washington,
but everyday brings us closer to the end of the most corrupt Presidential
Administration in history. Everyday brings us closer to a time when we can
continue the change started last year by taking over Congress. Everyday
brings us closer to the moment that we can reiterate our strong statement of
electing a 100% Democratic legislative delegation and Travis County
judiciary.
Democrats already have two very credible candidates, and possibly more, for
the United States Senate. Travis County, as usual, will be counted upon to
place our candidate in a position to win.
What can you do to help build this excitement?
The strongest impact you can make is by becoming a Precinct Chair! We only
have 46 vacancies left out of 210 precinct chair positions!
Make your voice heard in how your county party is run! All Democratic
Precinct Chairs in Travis County automatically become members of the County
Executive Committee, which is the governing body for Travis County
Democratic Party. In addition, you’ll receive all the support you need to
turn out the Democrats to vote in your neighborhood. There is so much to do
to get ready for 2008. The excitement is building. Come be a part of it!
Interested? Want to learn more? Contact Garry Brown at TCDP at
garry at traviscountydemocrats.org.
Below is a list of precincts where we have vacancies. The precinct numbers
are divided by legislative district.

AOL has become increasingly difficult for independent Internet services and

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 web host, 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.
