I can tell you that as a Precinct Chair in CD22, that the meeting was attended by about 85 out of 150 or so of us...

This has been a long, hard and trying time for us who have been thrust into this deal whether we wanted it or not...

I do not believe we have been well led by the leadership in this case, and the result has been that we ended up throwing up what appears to be a sacrificial lamb in this case to those who have only been watching the news about all of this...

I can tell you that Shelley Sekula-Gibbs is a very good friend of mine, and I will do my best in support of her efforts here, she has been aggressive in getting her name out there to the votors who will actually be making this decision...And in November, the base will be there in that capacity...

The process has been dragged out for much too long, and now that we opnly have about 80 days to get this done, we will be having to work real hard to get it done...

But this election process is done in this manner, as far as a short time from primary to election day in other states for many years...We can do it as well...

The only way the democrats win is for Republicans to become apathetic, and not do what we need to do in November to assure a failure of the democrats that have targeted this district, not only DeLay, but the district for almost 10 years...

I plan on delievering a "red" precinct to the district and the state at all costs...

If there had been no clear Republican concensus, I would have urged that no one vote straight party, but adjust thier vote to the Libertarian candidate for this districts US representative, who is a solid conservative, had stated that he'd caucus and vote with Republicans while elected to this seat...

But it looks liek we have a name now to work with, and that hopefully the other candidate will withdraw and help keep the vote focused for "one" candidate...

As far as the concern over the length of the name on the write-in...

It has been stated by the County Clerks office here in Harris County, Texas that "SSG", Shelley or Sekula or even Gibbs would be sufficient to confirm a vote for that particular candidate...

But be aware, even as I write, and it is needing to be confirmed, that the democrats are actively seeking through their lists, potential names matching the conventions noted above, to attempt to steal ro difuse the Republican vote...

But with an education campaign to work out those issues, we should know what we need to do on election day...

I know some here do not live in the district, and therefore are nuetral to the outcome, it is imperative to do everything possible to prevent the probablility of Nancy Pelosi becoming Speaker of the House...

I'm sure there would be some need for support on a national level for this particular race...Its happening pretty much everywhere, but if they can get to the "top" guy, what makes anyone else think they would be immune to this BS from the liberals in this country...Thats the way they are doing things now,but if we can stomp them at this critical an hour, I believe it will be easier to counter elsewhere in the country...
