My family owned a major union contractor in the metroplex......texas passed "right to work" and that was a death sentence for union contractors....our journeymen made $25./hour + benefits in 1982. went non-union to stay cmpetitive and those same skills get $25/hour plus benefits 40 years later.

Post here at LSLN or other Texas newsletters........... You can actually post comments at the end of every Startle Gram editorial. It would take 1 minute to respond to the 4 Horeses Asses of the Apocolyse which is the Startel Gram editoral stable.........I get the feeling nobody at HQ reads anything......
advise us when events are about to happen, not after. revamp Bulletion to be USEFUL.
organize some protests.....pick your issue...."sponsored by TCDP"....loud and proud
get some Pct Chairs to hold some meetups for their entire neighborhood......some food, some music......lively like
I fianlly located TCU Dem Club..be0cause they are top secret tro anyone who doesn't know how to find them. As the author says , nothing at UTA or Tarleton, or TCC. Persons in the know say that A$M Law Shcholl leans left.
set up a sign across from Roots Mkt.....let them know this will not be tolerated.
revise website to something along Hays Dems site lines...where the home pages accentuates to anyone what the Party can do for voters not what voters should do for the Party.
You have a lot of really good ideas. We need to do all of those things and we need the people there to do them. I'm planning on talking to the candidates who are running for Chair, I'm going to share some of your thoughts.

did i mention FREE FREE FREE or nearly so? we got to get voters engaged and involved in rescuing theirselves from the barbarians who would turn Texas into a fascist autocracy. Calling what they are doing anything else is weak weak weak.........which 900000000 we are currently known for, by our own voters.
Ps...since your from here...
note how many Trump signs vs our guys. My neighbor said he was afraid if he put up a Biden sign his boss would disapprove. Multiply that by most every church or organzation or most business's . We have been silenced because we let em shut us up.
I know these guys, in business, friends, social clubs, cigars lounges, they all went gaga for Trump....i had a 118 year old union business......i couldn't go to a trade association meeting cause it was all Trump.......
ps: i walked with IBEW for Beto in 2018. never heard anything about them in 2020 or 2022.
i see Reed O'connor at it again. I emailed everyone with an email address in Tarrant and part of Dallas Counties to organize a protest about his 1st Obamacare ruling......i got one response from a pct. capt wondering if i was spam............Joel Fryer said he actually organized a protest...i never heard about it.....he also says he knows nada about TCDP FB???? i only heard a few times from TCDP on Alison's personal Chair FB. i assume we don't own the other URLS like TCDP.com......i will repeat us seniors don't do SM and if we do its FB.....that is alot of people left out of the loop because TCDP wouldn't buy an email list and use it. Ask what the Bulletin subscription number is?

TCU and Disciples of Christ get a shout out as part of the anti-Christian Nationalist movement , including Churches in Arlington and Kennedale
As i always said , tongue in cheek, lets put the C back in TCU. As a lapsed Episcoplian i was always bemused by the antics of the televanglist and religious hustlers of yore. Rev Jilton Tilton comes to mind with the grain silo signage in Carrolton....Admittedly they do have the best music. But now these crass Machivellians have figured out ways to accumulate threatening levels of money and power simply for the sake of having more money and power. Ken Copeland has a huge compound and a fleet of aircraft and a secruity force like a Christian Right Vatican up on Eagle Mountain lake.
Back to praise for TCU: TCU, DoC, Brite Divinity
"In one of the boldest declarations yet by a mainline Protestant church, the Indiana-based Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) passed a resolution opposing “Christian nationalism” and prophecy preachings that Christians must take over and “occupy” all government, maybe to trigger the coming of a messiah."

You might think Crsytal would have some thing to say to us , whom she has decided to represent. So far she has chosen silence. Lord have mercy on all us Tarrant Dems.

The Deed is done......Crystal 'the Silent' Grayden is new Dem party Chair. So far its been radio silence from her and TCDP........
What i would love to see but is likely a headline to be unremarked upon by any D....Biden cut $39 Billion , that a B as in billion, in student loan debt...
Sound confusing? It is. Its different from what SCOTUS ruled against..and a Biden end a round as they say......Who better to explain and end the confusion before the GOP attacks.....I give them about 1/2 day to respond. Crsystal? I would guess no response is most likely.
interesting that there is no mention of the upcoming Chair election on the TCDP website or any SM sites.
could it be they only want insiders to run?
the only way to get an application and instruction on date, place ,etc. is if you subscribed to the Bulletin and read the June 16 issue. That would be a vanishing small number of souls.
fasinating...there is no reference to the Chair race on the website or recent bulletion. the only time it was mentioned was when it was burried in the June 16 Bulletin.
here is the link...u tell me ..is this an attempt to keep this process between insiders?
this is it: never another word on the wesbsite about the Chair Election .....or should I call it 'Chair selection"
Okay...i am guessing you are Joel...because your post doesnt reveal who you are.
thanks for making the point thought that even after being a long term TCDP insider , you don't seem to know who you exchanged extensive comments with me on FB messanger. What long term nsider wants to run the party wiithout knowing how to work the communicatiosn levers?
we don't need to talk. i showed u mine,,,my action plan as it were....
