After several cycles with NO challenge for his seat, Jeb is getting challenged for his coveted Congressional in the 5th congressional district of Texas.

Of course the gerrymandered district runs from progressive east Dallas , 35 miles into Terrell and Forney Texas. Both are hot beds of uneducated, uninformed Republican bots !

DAn Wood comes from a 4th generation Terrell, Tx farming family and still lives on the land his ancestors purchased .

I hosted Dan and Kendall Scudder for a Town Hall in Little Forest Hills section of Dallas and they were both terrific !

Kendall is running for Texas Senate in the 2nd dist.

Dan and Kendall both are solid Progressives that understand what the middle class is all about.

Go to their websights and check them out.

Donate thru ACT BLUE or in their websights.

This year is the year of the Dem in Texas !

also check out littleforesthills progressives if you live in Dallas.

Thanks !

Dan wood for Texas 5th

Kendall Scudder for Texas Senate

In the 2016 Presidential election, the Republicans successfully drew on their decades of vilifying Hillary Clinton among other things and eeked out a win.

For the last 12 years, the Republicans have successfully tied every Democratic House candidate to Nancy Pelosi and held their majority .

In the special election being held today in Georgia’s 6th cong. district, the Republican candidate has tried to tie the Democrat to Nancy Pelosi….

Isn’t it time we took the biggest target in the Democratic Party off the firing line ?

How many more close losses are we willing to take ?

Time for someone new, younger, more vibrant to step into leadership. The last time I saw her giving a Q & A, she was stumbling on stage, wobbly on her feet and didn’t have the old Pelosi wit she had a decade or so ago.

Time for a change, or get used to being close, but not quite winning these elections.

Several days ago, I entered a comment that one person found objectionable and Daily Kos agreed. I was given a warning not to speak of violence. I doubt if more than a handful even saw the comment. I stated that if Trump starts a war and either of my sons are drafted into it, as I was in 1969 into the Vietnam war, and if they were injured or worse, I would mete the same on peoples kids that weren’t drafted and supported Trump, including those of my own family.

For that , I apologize.

But I will resist those that harm the country or my family.

OK, I’m convinced. HIllary made the best possible choice to serve as VP in her administration.

Tim Kaine is a marvrlous, progressive Public servant. No one, not Warren, or anyone else could come across as honestly compassionate and experienced as he does.

I’m in 100%....

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., participates in a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Sanders will announce his plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, presenting a liberal challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Sanders, an independent who describes himself as a "democratic socialist," will follow a statement with a major campaign kickoff in his home state in several weeks. Two people familiar with his announcement spoke to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity to describe internal planning. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)

QUestion: what’s the difference in Bernie and Trump………

answer: Not much.

Whipping your followers into a ferver over perceived injustice, claiming “the system is corrupt”, It’s a conspiracy against me.

Death threats, groups of people wanting to riot.

Bernie isn’t a Democrat, never has been. He has lost the nomination with the stated rules, now he acts like a victim .

He has turned a great campaign with his own brilliance that he brought into it into a mockery. The Democrats will lose this election because of a doddering old man who isn’t getting his way.

As I mourn one of the saddest days in American history. You have called the bluff of President Obama, making him look like a fool. Now,
I have a proposal for the Donald.
We will pay $5,000.000.00 to the Charity of your choice if you go to the window of your opulent perch above the havoc below and jump out. That is the honorable thing to do in light of your pathetic Political demise.
I don't really want you to jump, just that you may one day feel the hopelessness of some of those poor people below the window I don't want you to jump out of.
Why not give that $ 5,000,000.00 to a local entity to help the victims of this Sandy disaster. Truth is, you don't really have $ 5,000,000.00 do you ?
Donald no one wants to hear anything from you, nothing. You are more of a cartoon than Micky Mouse ever was. Just shut-up, PLEASE
Your bogus offer is now part of the "greatest hits" you have given us thru the years.
Please consider this offer Donald, the impact on the street below may hamper cleanup for a while, but the $ 5,000,000.00 will go to a good use I promise.

Watching the very moving protests in Wisconsin makes me proud to be American.
Peaceful yet persistent. Joined by all working class people, union or not.
But there is something very wrong there.
Where is the Democratic Party ?
I saw last night that Nancy Pelosi tweeted her support to the protesters.
I saw President Obama sit squarely on the fence in his statement, throwing a bone to both sides.
Without the Union Labor movement, there would be no Democratic Party.
Karl Rove declared that if they diminish the Unions, the Democrats may not ever have another President.
Union people did phenominal work for President Obama. He would have not carried any of the battleground states without their herculean efforts.
This should ignite the resurgence of the whole Democratic Party.
Where are they ?
We are seeing this movement begin to swell, without National leadership, it will die.
Get out there Dems. It's time to get behind what we really are.
The Middle Class.

I am absolutely mesmirised by the upheavel in Wisconsin.
Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life, demonstrating, peacefully for workers rights.
Students supporting their teachers, College students standing up for their Professors.
Firemen, Policemen and State Patrol standing shoulder to shoulder with workers from all over the State.
One thing I don't see is.....Nationally known Democrats.
Dennis Kucinich......no where
Nancy Pelosi..... not here
The President of the United States...sitting on the fence playing both sides as equal.
None of these politicians would be in office, much less in leadership and absolutely never be elected President of the US with out the loyal, active Americans in our Unions.
I am ashamed, appalled and pissed.
I have a small cabinetshop. Iiworkl for a living. My hands get dirty. I am a real American.
I expect ALL Democrats to stand loudly and proudly with these brave people.
This should be the beginning of the end of the right wing push againsat the middle class.
It will be if Obama, Pelosi, Reid and ALL Dems stand up and be counted.
I certainly will be.

From the beginning if the netroots movement, I've been a loyal supporter of the Democratic Party. I howled when I wasn't "allowed" to vote during my tour in Viet Nam.
I have never voted for ANY Republican for President.
I gave hundreds of dollars to the Obama campaign.
I took my two young sons out of school so they could see history, as a black man spoke to Dallas about his hopes for America.
But this is it.... I have had it.

I am calling the DNCC and cancelling the $ 100.00 each month that they take from my checking account so they can run more Democrats for office.
