This Blog is on hiatus....

As most Denton County Democrats know, I co-founded the Democratic Women of Denton County (DWDC)...and I'm now the President of that organization. DWDC has grown quickly (as have donations), and I have been really pouring all of my spare time into DWDC, and have not been keeping up with blogging here.

To see what's going on with DWDC, go here:
www.democraticwomenofdentoncounty.org

Even though this blog, Castle Hills Democrats, is on hiatus, I'm going to leave it in place for awhile. After my tenure with DWDC ends, I might want to come back here and pick up blogging again.

To residents of Castle Hills: yes, I'm still your Democratic Precinct Chair, representing you to the Denton County Democratic Party. The County Chair over there, Phyllis Wolper, is a good friend of mine. You should check that organization out:

Obviously I am involved with all kinds of Democratic people and happenings in Denton County. If Castle Hills residents, or any resident of Denton County, wants to know more about Denton County Democratic activism, email me and I'll put you to work...or point you in the right direction...

Facts on Phony Republican Voter Fraud Efforts

Who gets hurt by Todd Smith?
Independent studies show that those least likely to have a photo ID are senior citizens, college students, low income voters and women.
Senior Citizens – In 2006, a study by the nonpartisan Brennan Center found that 18% of seniors 65 and over do not have a driver's license or a photo ID.

Who is against Todd Smith’s Partisan plan?
Nonpartisan public interest organizations, nonpartisan experts and the editorial boards of every major Texas newspaper oppose Todd Smith’s partisan Republican Voter ID agenda. They recognize that voter impersonation at the polls - the only kind of fraud a Voter Photo ID law could possibly address - is virtually non-existent in Texas and does not address any current voting irregularities
