Join the Galveston County Democrats and Turn Texas Blue on Saturday 1/7
Turn Texas Blue
Dear Democrats
On Saturday evening, January 7, 2006, the Galveston County Democratic Party will host a banquet titled “Turn Texas Blue.” The event will be held at the Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center, 7 Hope Boulevard, Galveston, Texas. It will begin with a social hour at 6:00 p.m. to be followed by dinner and the program at 7:00 p.m.
The purpose of this letter is to invite your participation and attendance. The program will begin with a message from D.N.C. Chairman Howard Dean to be followed by Leo Gerard, General President of the United Steelworkers Union. Texas humorist Jim Hightower, Texas Democratic Party Chairman Charles Soechting, Texas AFL-CIO President Emmett Sheppard and Congressional candidates Nick Lampson and Shane Sklar will also speak at this event. John Patrick, the D.N.C. member from our area, will serve as Master of Ceremonies.
This will be a big Texas event! The Texas Democratic Executive Committee, the Texas AFL-CIO and others throughout the state who share a common interest in electing Democrats and defeating Tom DeLay and Ron Paul will also be present. On Saturday during the day, the State Democratic Executive Committee will be holding meetings. At noon we will have a rally featuring our statewide Democratic candidates.
All funds raised by the banquet will go to “Getting out the Democratic Vote.” We also plan to sign up those in attendance to invite them to return to the district during early voting in 2006 to join us in block walking for Democrats in the DeLay and Paul Congressional districts. “DeLay’s defeat will be our gift to America!”
The rally is free. The banquet is $50 per seat and will feature a fabulous Italian buffet.
Your participation will benefit a great cause for our state and nation. We will need to know your decision prior to January 1, 2006. To make banquet reservations, make your check out to the Galveston County Democratic Party and mail to P.O. Box 519, La Marque, TX, 77568. You can purchase through our web site www.DemocratsWin.com. If you are interested in staying over at the Moody Gardens Hotel, you can get a special rate ($119 per night) by calling reservations 888-388-8484 and telling them you are part of the Texas Democratic Party. Thank you for your service and support for our Party. Join us in preparing for this important victory in 2006.
Sincerely,
Lloyd Criss Galveston County Democratic Party
