Club for Growth endorses Cuellar ("D"-TX28)
http://www.thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Campaign/011806.html

First CFG "dem" endorsement ever.

People, next to Tom Delay, Henry Cuellar is the most vulnerable Texas republican in congress.

Cuellar endorsed Bush in 2000 and went on a multi-state road trip to campaign for him.
Cuellar served in Rick Perry's administration as Texas' Secretary of State.

Show Ciro Rodriguez some love this primary season. Some prominent dems, including Charlie Rangel and Ted Strickland, have already done so. A primary victory would return the seat to democratic hands, and it's really among the lowest-hanging fruit the interests of the GOP have.

At least get on the phone with anyone you know in Laredo or southside San Antonio and let 'em know about Cuellar.

1. If that isn't the kiss of death
That Cuellar just can't decide what side of the fence he sits on. We should just knock him over to the R side where we know he belongs.

Vote for Ciro
