Vo Supporters Go to Austin Jan. 11

Why should the legislature steal this guy's election? Vo is the right person at the right time for Texas, says the Texas Civil Rights Review.

Texas Aggies love to say that Highway Six runs both ways. At Beechnut St. in Houton, Highway Six runs into the rest of the world.

Of 6,000 people living in the neighborhood at the Southeast corner of Highway Six and Beechnut, 47 percent were born outside the USA. About half of them have become citizens, according to the US Census Bureau (Census 2000, Tract 4539).

“Hubert Vo does represent District 149,” says Rogene Gee Calvert, speaking by cell phone about the newly elected state representative for the district that includes Highway Six between Interstate 10 and Beechnut. “It is a district with many first generation immigrants like Hubert, and they feel like he understands their issues.”

"We do not want to see his victory stolen away," says Calvert. On Vo’s behalf, Calvert is helping with a petition drive that aims to collect 10,000 signatures, and she is organizing a delegation of Vo supporters that will appear in his behalf at the Legislature’s inauguration day, Jan. 11.

I'll be there on his inauguration day. Come on Austin DUers who else can come stand with him? January 11th is a Sunday.
