Fellow Democrats,
This has been a great week for Democrats in the state of Texas. A three-judge Federal District Court panel in Washington, DC on Tuesday unanimously ruled that the lines drawn for US Congress and both houses of the state legislature violated the Voting Rights Act. Today another Federal District Court three-judge panel unanimously ruled that Texas Voter ID Law violates the Voting Rights Act. Let’s be grateful that the Obama Justice Department was there to fight the Republican discriminatory redistricting and the voter suppression that would take place if the Texas Voter ID law is enacted. Go to www.txredistricting.org for the most complete analysis of these important rulings.
We need to make sure to re-elect our President and add Democratic seats in Austin to ensure the voting rights of all Texans. Northern Dallas County is ground zero in the fight to make Texas blue.
