Don’t trash your yard sign from the primary. If you have a truck, go by your polling location and pick up all signs left on “H” frames.
Our friends at Inovar Packaging will recycle the sign and MCD will keep the H frame ($.50 each new) for future campaigns.
Please wipe down the sign and frame and bring to our March 25 meeting.

Ronnie Earle, Democratic Primary candidate for Lieutenant Governor will be the keynote speaker at the February meeting of the Mid-Cities Democrats, Thursday, February 25. The North Texas native began his political career with Governor John Connally and has worked with every Texas governor since. It was the campaign finance investigation led by Earle, then Travis County District Attorney that led to the 2005 indictment of Republican Tom DeLay, the House Majority Leader and self-dubbed “Texas Hammer”.
(Other Democratic candidates for Lt. Governor were invited to the February meeting.)
Attendees should arrive at the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union Hall, 1020 S. Industrial Boulevard, at 6:30 p.m. to socialize and eat. Pizza and sodas will be served for a small donation. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.

Published letters to the editor from MCD members.
Voter ID back again (Star-Telegram)
This is ridiculous. (See: GOP race centers on voter ID bill, Wednesday) State Rep. Todd Smith complained to Republican Chairwoman Stephanie Klick for publicly saying that he might allow a provision so that voters could register the same day they cast ballots.
That could never work. How could a potential voter’s registration be verified before they vote? Is this the party of misinformation?
Another problem is how will someone without a photo ID obtain one? If they don’t have some type of government issued ID, will they have to pay for it? If so, that’s a voter tax and that is illegal. The government has to pick up the tab or just drop the whole idea.
