The tools it takes... Battle Ground Texas

[white cloud]

Every day this week, the list of Texas registered voters has been growing.

Thanks to our determined volunteers, the Voter Registration Week of Action is already a huge success.

But it takes a lot of resources to support this kind of ground game in a state as big as Texas. We need clipboards and pens and gas money and printer paper -- the organizing tools that we use to change this state little by little.

Let's make Texas a voting state sooner than later. Chip in $5 or more to support our volunteers during the Voter Registration Week of Action.

To change the voting culture in any state is no small achievement, but to do it in Texas would be monumental.

It takes people talking to their neighbors about voting, giving them the chance to register, and making sure everyone has the information they need to vote.

That's what thousands of Battleground Texas volunteers are out there doing right now -- let's make sure we can keep it going and stay on track for the elections this year and beyond.

Donate $5 or more to support the Voter Registration Week of Action:

1. According to Juanita Jean, Tom DeLay is trying to use Battleground to scare the Texas GOP

DeLay is citing the success of the Obama campaign and the fact that Battleground is busy to try to raise money for a new technology company that he will head. http://www.juanitajean.com/2014/03/12/tom-delay-and-the-internet-machine/

Tom DeLay is convinced that Texas will turn blue but not because of changing demographics or that the population is getting younger in Texas.

Nope.

Texas will turn blue because of data. Yep, technology. That’s the ticket! DeLay says that the Democrats have powerful coalition.

That coalition coupled with President Obama’s campaign machine and its digital approach to voters could damage Texas Republicans, he said.

“And we have nothing to counter it,” Delay said.

Obama didn’t beat former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in last year’s presidential race on policy, image or anything else, Delay said.

It was the president’s 2012 digital strategy.

Obama’s campaign had dozens of computer engineers writing software and gathering data around the clock to find out what voters believe in, keep them motivated, organize them and turn them out at the polls, Delay said.

“It was incredibly impressive, and they did it all through technology,” he said. “That technology’s now in Texas.”

Democrats could turn Texas purple or blue “only because we allow it to happen,” Delay said.

Okay, so let me tell you what is going to happen next. Tom DeLay will be forming a “technology” company. He will round up a few software engineers and call it The True American Digital Free Enterprise Freedom Liberty and More Freedom Boutique. He will go to GOP donors with a plan to save the GOP.

And like every other scam operation at www.TomDeLay.com, it will fail. Since he was indicted there have been at least five money-making failures, including the one where you paid money to read his blog, at his website.

I can promise you that another one is coming. Republicans don’t lose on bad ideas or the fact that they’re just a bunch of old white men with hateful plans. They lose because they have don’t have computers! Tom DeLay, the last relic of a dying political party will save them all by having hate in zeros and ones instead of words.

Delay is hoping that fear of Battleground will convince some GOP fat cats to send him some money to waste. I hope that the Kochs decide to send DeLay a great deal of money to fight Battleground because most of that money will be going to Tom DeLay.
