1. Chris Bell 8/15

I'm going to add this, though it's a day beyond your calendar, since you'll be gone and may not be updating and it also isn't showing on Chris's website.

Chris will be addressing the August meeting of Oil Patch Democrats, in Houston, on Monday, August 15 at Ziggy's at Alabama and Greenbriar. The meeting starts at 6:30pm and anyone wishing to eat dinner there can order individually from the menu.

This event is listed on www.hcdp.org. This is also a special OPD meeting night this month. Normally we meet on the 3rd Thursday, but Chris was unavailable for that night, so we rescheduled to accommodate his schedule. Little did we know several weeks ago, when this was scheduled that it would be the FIRST event following his formal announcement!!!

Going to Austin so I can cheer him two days in a row.

You and Sue have a great time in Cincy and tell everyone there the Clarkies (and this former Cincinnatian) are damn proud of Paul Hackett and 2006 will be the charm!!

2. I just would like to bet that David would be in Crawford this morning if

only knew about it. Maybe Chris as well. Anyone able to get to them?

3. Van Os and Howard Dean are right there in San Antone

at the Hispanic Summit, so they aren't far away...

5. Yepm I know, so why are they not in Crawford this morning? Politically

incorrect, I guess.

6. Chron has a report with a picture

The angry mother of a fallen U.S. soldier staged a protest near President Bush's ranch today, demanding an accounting from the president of how he has conducted the war in Iraq.

Supported by more than 50 shouting demonstrators, Cindy Sheehan, 48, told reporters, "I want to ask George Bush: Why did my son die?"

Sheehan arrived in Crawford aboard a bus painted red, white and blue and emblazoned with the words, "Impeachment Tour."

Her son, Casey, 24, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004. He was an Army specialist, a Humvee mechanic.
