[PAA-Discuss] Fwd: Remember to Vote in Tomorrows City Council Runoff Elections

[Bill Crosier]

If you live in the city of Houston, PLEASE remember to vote Saturday, 
if you have not already.  It's important, and it DOES matter.

Your vote is worth at least three times as much as in last month's 
general election, possibly four to five times as much, because so few 
people vote in these runoff elections.  Early voting was very light. 
Your vote can make the difference in this important runoff election.

Everyone in the city can vote for Jolanda Jones and Kristi Thibaut 
(both at large positions), and I encourage you to call a friend and 
get them out to vote for these fine people, too.  They support the 
99% of us and their opponents are backed primarily by big business 
interests, so you know who they'll work for.

It's likely to be close for both Jolanda and Kristi, and whichever 
candidate turns out their supporters more is going to win.

If you live in Disctrict A, I suggest you vote for Brenda Stardig.

I don't have an endorsement in Dist. B.

See the endorsements below from Garnet Coleman -- probably the most 
progressive member of the Texas legislature.  He supports the same 
people as I indicated above.
