We'll fight 'til hell freezes over, then we'll fight on the ice!
Down in Texas, a lot of us grassroots Democrats have known for a long time that the Democrats didn't lose the heartland vote over ideological refinements. They lost it because they turned into the Wimp Party. People like fighters. They figure if you're not a fighter as a campaigner, then they sure won't be able to count on you to fight for them when you're in office.

Most Democrats are salt of the earth, but we let the Beltway Democrats silk-tie bunch define us into being nothing more than the cake frosting. I'm not trashing the empathy platform, I'm all for it. But we're not going to attain it with earnest pleas for mercy and compassion. We have to fight for it, with strength and passion, demanding it as the just rights of the people! And we have to add to the empathy planks our tough and passionate fights for the preservation of Constitutional democracy and liberty, and our unflinching resolve to knock out corporate government mano a mano. Fighting Democrats are rising again. Fighting Democrats will fight for the people and won't stop fighting until they win. We'll fight 'til hell freezes over, then we'll fight on the ice!

4. A big fan of yours saying hi from California!!
I lived most of my life in Dallas before moving to Los Angeles.

Read one of your terrific speeches a while back (DFA?) and have been a supporter of yours ever since.

So glad to see you running for Attorney General**** No doubt you have what it takes.

Please keep us posted and let us know how we can ensure your victory!
