Please support this quote to be included the TDP Platform

[merci_me]

Tom Blackwell from Dallas, writes to let us know of his intentions regarding inclusion of a very special quote of former Governor Ann Richards in his submission to the Platform Committee of the Texas Democratic Party. We urge each and every participant to the 2008 State Democratic Convention in Austin to support its adoption.

SUBJECT: IMPORTANT STATE CONVENTION DELEGATE INFO - Texas State Convention Elected Positions

I am proposing that this quote from Ann Richards' Inaugural Address be included in the Platform:


"Today we have a vision of a Texas where opportunity knows no race, no gender, no color - a glimpse of what can happen in government if we simply open the doors and let the people in Ann W. Richards", Governor of Texas 1991-95


It's on the back of her monument at the State Cemetery.

3. It's already in the Draft coming out of committee

so I suspect no one's going to ask to pull it. Likely a done deal.

I had fun working on the Election reform stuff on the draft even tho I was not 'officially' on the committee.
