yet?<BR>A friend sent this to me and I am forwarding it to you.<BR><BR>Hello
my veggie friends,<BR><BR>My friend, neighbor, and fellow progressive activist
DON COOK is running for the Houston City Council At-Large Position 1. Early
voting has already begun. If you live in the City of Houston, then you can
vote for DON COOK. Even if you don't, I encourage you to tell your friends
that live in the city to vote for Don.<BR><BR>DON IS ONE OF US. He's been a
vegetarian for many, many years and is currently in the transition to a full,
vegan diet for health, ethical, and environmental reasons. He's an ardent
supporter of local, organic, "veganic" farming and has worked as a tireless
environmental activist for countless years.<BR><BR>Don has been active in the
peace movement for several decades. He's an active member of several peace
groups in Houston, including the Houston Peace and Justice Center, the Sierra
Club, Intergalactic Artists for Peace, and the Texas Coalition to Abolish the
Death Penalty. He's also served as treasurer of the Progressive Action
Alliance (PAA) since 2004. As many of y'all may know, the PAA is a group
founded and led by FELLOW VEGAN Bill Crosier.<BR><BR><SPAN
