Sending care packages to liberals in Texas.
blueoregon admin
This just appeared in the BlueOregon inbox.
Dear Mr. Chisholm -I just found the BlueOregon website via BuzzFlash. I feel like Harry Potter finding out that he's a wizard and won't be stuck with the Dursleys for the rest of his life.
I am an expert on trying to find a port in the storm -- I'm a life-long progressive Democrat (A LIBERAL!!) and a native Texan. I sent the website to a friend of mine here in Austin, telling him to check out the contributors to BlueOregon.
It's hard to believe that people such as you all exist when one is surrounded by the likes of John Cornyn, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and Tom "The Hammer" Delay. Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals holding public office. Will wonders never cease!!!
When one fights a seemingly never-ending uphill battle it's all too easy to become psychologically isolated. BlueOregon delivers a much needed care package of hope, humor and chutzpah (chutzpah in the finest sense of the word) to the "Lost Liberals of Texas".
Thanks to all of you. - Judy Majors
You're welcome, Judy. And welcome to all the rest of you discovering BlueOregon.com today on BuzzFlash.

From an expat-Texan living in Oregon since 1968, welcome. Oregonians are not all perfect, but only a few are as rabid as the carpetbaggers that have taken over Texas.

Woo hoo! More Texans. ; )
I wonder which part of the state Judy is from. I'm from the HGA (or Houston Galveston area, if you're not used to the term). Spent most of my life in little 'ole Santa Fe, but also lived in Pasadena and Houston.

Hey there are many of us ... buried in stragetic places all over Texas. I work for the Houston government. Many are well aware of the corruption, lies and deception W's minions have done. I hope when it is over, there will not be a backlash against Texas.
Looking out my downtown window at the former Enron building ... Halliburton down the road ... I remember Bush senior's quote .. something like " ... if the American people ever woke up to the truth" their rule would end.

Between reading the title of this story and the body of the story itself, i was all ready to put together an actual care package and send it off to texas: Bottle of pinot from King Estate, some Oregon Blue Vein cheese, maybe a sixer of Full Sail Session Lager, bag of filberts from my grandparents' farm, etcetera.
Now that i've read the actual article, i say good luck with bluetexas.com!

Need a sister city? Dem to Dem: Prineville to ?? Texas. I rather like the idea. Could make the paper in both places if we actually did exchange visits.
