If American thugs were to fire rockets into Mexico, and the US Government were to do nothing about it, what do you think the Mexican Government would do after a while? The Jews in Isreal are only doing what the Christians in Mexico would do if someone were to fire rockets on them.

I asked him on election day, when I met him for the first time, if he could help. His answer, "Well I gotta get back to work". They want to get the glory of being a Precinct Chair but no responsibility of doing the job, i.e. run elections. That requires a new generation of people who will be more dedicated to the process.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353411115935732330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514527254446976674.post-25637963753284205412008-12-23T07:18:00.000-08:002008-12-23T07:18:00.000-08:00I agree with most all that is being said.

We had a training seminar scheduled but had to cancel due to Ike. Sorry about that. Our chair has not rescheduled a meeting at this point. We have talked about another training seminar in May. Check the HCRP calendar.

You may not be able to do much except have the person you support start meeting voters in the precinct and building a base of support right now. However, keep in touch with the County Clerk's office and get the election judge training for everyone who's interested. It makes a stronger case for a contested precinct chair election. Then campaign (it won't take much of that!) and get the new person elected!Fishiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865042936899849740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514527254446976674.post-5700168862416736202008-12-18T18:56:00.000-08:002008-12-18T18:56:00.000-08:00I'm in senate district 7.

If precinct chairs did only that much, they could make a BIG difference.
