A MESSAGE FROM TCDP CHAIR CHRIS ELLIOTT
Dear Fellow Democrats:
This is my first contribution to the newsletter since our Campaign Kickoff
Dinner on January 11 and I want to take this opportunity to say thank you a
thousand times over to everyone who attended and contributed to that
magnificent event. It was, in my estimation, one of the best TCDP events in
recent memory. There was tremendous energy in the room and I attribute that
to the excitement and anticipation that seem to be building as we approach
the March 4 Primary and the General Election in November.
You can just feel the momentum that Democrats all across this country are
gaining as we head into what may be the most important elections in many of
our lifetimes. Personally, I can't wait until decision night in November
when I expect to see Democrats sweeping into office at all levels. And it
appears that Texas might just have a say in who will be the Democratic
nominee for president. All of this makes for very exciting times.
Thanks again to all of you that helped make the 2008 Campaign Kickoff Dinner
a great success. As always, I look forward to seeing you all at various
Democratic events across the County.
Democratically yours,
Chris Elliott
TCDP Chair

was just appointed by Rick Perry last September! 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 only five county parties in Texas that stay open
year-round), have two full-time 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 $1,000.00 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!

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.
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.
