Things are going well right now, and we can win the big ones in 2006 especially with the Republicans already tearing each other to bits. But it won’t happen without your help today. If you’d like to see Democrats win and right wing Republicans lose, please help us by becoming a Sustaining Member. This program is the heart and soul of our Partywithout it we couldn’t keep our lights on, much less win races. You can find a membership form at the bottom of this page, or at our websitehttp://www.txdemocrats.org/getinvolved/joini . Your support could very well be the difference between spinning our wheels and taking back Texas in 2006. Thank you so much once again. We’re here for you, and we appreciate you being here for us.
