My Letter to the Editor RE KAREN HUBER in Today's Statesman

by: hillsforobama

Fri Oct 31, 2008 at 12:30:24 PM CDT

Road rage

The public is not fooled by Travis County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty's last-minute fix for the U.S. 290 problems in Oak Hill, which, incidentally, were announced on the first day of early voting.

Why did it take a formidable challenge to his re-election bid to provide the quick fix?

Precinct 3 would be better served by Karen Huber, a highly proactive, experienced facilitator of cooperative solutions to development and growth issues. We need a county commissioner who plans and does not react. We don't need last-minute quick fixes to long-term problems.

We need a person who sees the big picture and will work to solve issues. That person is Huber.

Polls show Obama, McCain in dead heat in Arizona

Polls show Obama, McCain in dead heat in Arizona
By Paul Giblin
Tribune
http://www.eastvalleytribune.c...
Presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama are running in a statistical dead heat in Arizona, according to two surveys released Monday, a troubling development for the home-state senator.

And a third survey scheduled for release today will offer a similar assessment.

With just a week to go before Election Day, and weeks after early voting began, Arizona is too close to call, according to research directors who oversaw the surveys.

This is how the numbers stacked up:

URGENT: Central Texas Phonebankers need several hundred traveling Texans

by: hillsforobama

Tue Sep 16, 2008 at 08:11:29 AM CDT

Now is the time, more than any other for YOU to make a difference in this tight election.

Obama for America  URGENTLY needs phone banking volunteers from Central Texas to make calls to fellow Central Texan Obama Supporters and ask if they are available to go to a battleground state for 5 weeks for the Obama for America Campaign.  Barack Obama and Joe Biden are  asking Texans to find several hundred Texans that can go to the battleground states as FIELD ORGANIZERS by September 29th!  

Most Texas volunteers will be going to either NM, CO or Florida.  They will need to go to Camp Obama before they leave for a battleground state.  The final two Camp Obama sessions are scheduled for September 20-21 and 27-28 right here in Austin.  All expenses will be paid by the volunteer, although lodging is provided and typically includes breakfast.  The local field offices will also provide some food.  Transportation in many cases will be donated by Obama supporters.  A web site for free/cheap airline tickets follows: http://www.travelforchange.org or call 650.353.1018 .

If you are interested in helping with these calls then please send Andy Balinsky an email @ balinsky@gmail.com with your name, email, and phone number so that he can assign you an account to access the virtual phonebank for this project.  You can call right from home, from the Coordinated campaign Offices and from the 620 Democratic Office.  Andy  will also put you in touch with Starshine Nolan, Obama For America   Central Texas Field Organizer.  

This is something we can all do to help OBAMA & BIDEN  win!  

Please forward this URGENT REQUEST  to all of your OBAMA contacts.  

Thanks so much!

Chris Wilson
