The excitement of our outstanding candidates running in races from the White House to the court house continues to energize Democrats all across Texas. Now, attention is turning to the upcoming State Democratic Convention. This year, the Convention will be held in the heart of downtown Austin at the Austin Convention Center on June 6th and 7th. Even if you were not elected as a Delegate or Alternate, there are still exciting opportunities for you to participate in the Convention, and I hope you will be able to join the more than 15,000 Delegates, Alternates, elected officials and guests we expect in Austin as part of this historic moment for Texas Democrats.
Two of the biggest draws at the Convention are our Kick Off Reception on the evening of June 5th at the Austin Hilton and the Blue Star Breakfast on the morning of June 7th at the Austin Convention Center. These events offer the chance to meet fellow Democrats from all over the state, mingle with Texas Democrats, be part of the Convention excitement, and support the Texas Democratic Party.
The Kick Off Reception is the first official event of the Convention, and will feature a special performance from Austin musical icons Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison. The Blue Star Breakfast is always a highlight of the Convention and will feature a seated breakfast and a distinguished Democratic speaker, to be announced. Best of all, tickets to both the Reception and Breakfast are available for the public, so even if you weren't elected as a Delegate or an Alternate, you can still participate in these exciting Convention events.
Special discounts are available at both the Kick Off Reception and the Blue Star Breakfast for our Texas Majority Builders. Texas Majority Builders are the sustaining members of the Party and contribute at least $10 a month. As the financial backbone of our Party, Majority Builders fund the day-to-day operations of the Party, our state-of-the-art voter file, the Texas VAN, and critical voter turnout programs. Majority Builders Tickets are inexpensive, and like all TDP fundraisers, reduced prices are available for Texas Majority Builders, the Party's sustaining members who give at least $10 a month. To take advantage of these discounted tickets, and to invest in the future of our Party, please join me by becoming a Texas Majority Builder today. For just $10 a month - that's just 33? a day! - you can help the Party turn Texas blue.
With the race for the Democratic nomination for President still ongoing, the 2008 Texas Democratic Party State Convention will be our biggest, most dynamic and, with your support today, our most successful convention to date. Both the Kick Off Reception and the Blue Star Breakfast will be great opportunities to participate in this unique moment in Texas history, and I hope you will join us. With your help and your participation in these events, we can move Texas Forward in 2008.
If you have any questions about either the Blue Star Breakfast or the Kick Off Reception, please contact Stephanie Leavitt at sleavitt@txdemocrats.org. I look forward to seeing you at the Convention!
Your friend and fellow Democrat,
