Hunt County Democrats
 
Well, the 89th Texas Legislature has opened, and Dustin Burrows has been elected as Speaker of the House. Burrows isn’t perfect, but he’s a whole lot better than David Cook. Cook has joined the ranks of the Republicans who think Democrats should not chair any committee in the Capitol. By the way, our Representative, Brent Money is a part of that ilk. The late, great Molly Ivins once said that “Austin is the most dangerous place on earth when the Lege is in session.” I’m sure she’s spinning in her grave these days.
 
I want to remind you of the parade honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this Saturday,
January 18. We’ll start lining up at the Market Square at 9:00am with the parade kicking off at 10:00am. The weather is supposed to still be nice. We will have a group walking behind our banner or you may drive your car if you are unable to walk.
 
There are three events on Saturday, January 25th, that you may want to participate.

The first is:
STAY WOKE
Women’s Conference
10:00am, (doors open at 9:30am)
Greenville High School Cafeteria

TDP Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa has resigned effective March 29. At this time there are five candidates vying for the Chair position. The Texas Progressive Caucus is hosting an in-person forum at the LBJ Ranch January 25th. They are also live streaming via Zoom. Since most of us can’t make the trip to the Ranch we decided to have a Zoom party:
 
Candidate Forum Watch Party
1:30pm, January 25
UAW Hall
601 Jack Finney Blvd. (FM 1570)
Greenville, 75402
Bring snacks if you’d like and your beverage of choice.
 
Rhythm In Our Blues
Boy Bands vs Girl Bands
5:00pm, January 25
Greenville Municipal Auditorium
This is a free event.
 
I’ll try to send the link for the Candidate Forum for those who aren’t able to attend in person.
 
The weather is supposed to get super cold again next week. Let us know if you need anything or how we can help.

President Joseph R. Biden’s Farewell Address to the Nation

———————————————————————————————–

“Democrats are the party of inclusion. We know that diversity is not our problem—it is our promise. As Democrats, we respect differences of perspective and belief, and pledge to work together to move this country forward, even when we disagree … we do not merely seek common ground—we strive to reach higher ground.” Democratic Party Platform
