5th Day of Christmas

On the 5th day of Christmas Pete Olson gave to me:
No name I.D.,
Poll-tested words,
Three months in Fort Bend,
More homophobia we're tired of,
And bags full of D.C. money!

2nd Day of Christmas

You've got questions? Shelley's the answer.

A news article posted today by our friends at KHOU asks the question: What's wrong with the Fort Bend GOP? The piece goes on to attack the Fort Bend Republican establishment, pretty much declaring it a shadow of its former self.

While I disagree with the general tone of the piece, many of the points raised are true. The cohesive unit that once was, is no longer. And the sad fact is that the people who are suffering from this the most are us, the citizens of the county and District 22. We're the ones who've been stuck with the His Accidency from Beaumont, the guy with nothing but his own interests and political gain in mind.

But what's at stake is more than just Fort Bend County -- it's the entire district. And since we as Fort Bend County residents are all trying to solve the Lampson Problem, perhaps we should broaden our horizons.

I think the answer isn't in Fort Bend County, but in Harris County. We should stop looking at the good ole boys, and start looking to an experienced, committed woman for leadership.

That's right, the answer is Shelley Sekula Gibbs.

She's the type of person who can pull together a fractured county, or even more importantly, a fractured district. She's the type of person who can send Nick Lampson back to the refineries of Beaumont. She's the type of person who can lead us for years to come.

But she can't do it by herself. It's up to us to support her through this process and vote her into office. It's going to take people power to fight the Pete Olson and Nick Lampson political machines.

I'm up to the job. Are you?
