by Bill Cantrell President, DKC
From time
to time, I would like to share some points of interest that concern
actions
taken by some of our fellow Democrats right here in KerrCounty. My
hope is
that by bringing them to your attention, it will stir you to similar

A
Message from Frank
August 1, 2008
Kerr County Democrats and
Friends:
Democrats are rising in
Kerr County! 4503 citizens voted in
the March 2008 Democratic primary, 34 percent of
the total Kerr County
vote. Compare that to our 6.7 percent in 2000 and 12.2
percent in 2004 and it's evident the
political surge is definitely working in our favor.
As you already know,
Democrats across Texas and throughout the
nation made significant gains in 2006, and
the immense majority of
our fellow citizens are demanding change now!However, further electoral
gains won't necessarily come
easy.
Victory for Barrack Obama
and our other candidates depends on the
success of the Democratic 50-state strategy, which, in turn,
will be contingent
on Texas having a sound 254-county strategy and Kerr County
executing an effective 20-precinct
strategy. I am committed, as I know all of you are, to making
that
happen.
Many of you are already
involved in our efforts locally.In
addition, your Democratic Executive
Committee is now
launching campaign
initiatives such as telephone
