TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY E-PRIMARY POLL

 

Tomorrow, Friday, September 7, the Texas Democratic Party (TDP) will end its first ePrimary Poll, a weeklong online event that will give Texas Democrats an opportunity to make their voices heard in the presidential nomination process and express support for their favorite Democratic candidate.  Participation in the ePrimary Poll is open to all Texas Democrats who want to provide input as the Party chooses a presidential nominee.  Voters can cast their ballot by visiting the TDP website, www.txdemocrats.org, where they can also view personal profiles of each potential nominee, along with the candidate's personal message to Texas Democrats.

 

The winner will be announced by TDP on September 10th.  Updated vote tallies will be posted daily on the TDP website so participants can monitor their preferred candidate's performance throughout the week

 

"Texas Democrats are more energized than ever, and like most Americans, are ready for change.  The TDP ePrimary Poll offers all Texas Democrats an opportunity to get involved in the presidential election and vote for Democratic candidates who are qualified and ready to lead with new ideas," said Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie.



The TDP ePrimary Poll takes place just as Texas Republicans convene in Fort Worth for a presidential straw poll that has drawn little participation from candidates, party leaders and activists.  With only a few fringe presidential candidates scheduled to appear and sparse attendance projected, the RPT straw poll is evidence of a Republican Party on the decline. The exclusionary event is open only to those people who served as delegates to recent state or national Republican conventions and does not reflect the preferences of all Texas Republican voters.  

 

"The TDP's ePrimary Poll is designed to capture the tremendous excitement of the Democratic Party and involve more voters in the political process," said Richie.  "But Republicans want to hear only from the most extreme members of their Party, who are choosing among lackluster candidates offering only failed policies from the past," said Richie.  


As the second most populous state, Texas has traditionally played a significant role in our nation's political process.  However, Republicans in the State Legislature weakened the influence of Texas voters by failing to approve an earlier date for the primary election, meaning the presidential nominees of both parties could potentially be decided before Texans get a say in the matter. 

 

"Republicans in the State Legislature weakened the national political influence of Texas voters when they failed to advance Texas' 2008 primary election date.  But with the ePrimary Poll, the many Democratic activists who are concerned that Texas may have little say in choosing our Party's presidential nominee will now have a chance to weigh in on the selection process," added Richie. .

As the 2008 March Primary draws closer, the TCDP asks that all who anticipate filing for office during the official filing period next December call or e-mail the TCDP with your current contact info to include campaign mailing address, e-mail, phone number(s), web address, campaign manager, etc.  The Party office has already begun receiving calls from local Dem Clubs and Organizations who would like to add candidate names to their contact lists and we would like to be able to assist these organizations with as complete a list as possible.  But we cannot provide correct information if we have not first been notified of your intent to run being provided updated contact information.  



Thank you.  TCDP Staff: 477-7500 or info at traviscountydemocrats.org



********************************************************************************

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 is now putting together a supplemental term-appointed list that can be submitted to the County Commissioners' no later than October because of the state constitutional election on November 6, 2007.   We currently have 78 positions filled but we need 215 total.  In other words, we are at 36% 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

105  106  107  111  112  113  123  132  137  140  141  145  153  154  156  161  163  164

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 web host, we receive a "Client TOS Notification" from AOL.  If this happens, you will be automatically unsubscribed from the list.
