I Sent $50 To Both Green Presidential Nominee Jill Stein And To The Obama Campaign—We Each Must Choose Our Own Course
Above are Barbara Jordan stamps I bought at the Barbara Jordan Post Office here in Houston.
Here are facts about the great Congresswoman Barbara Jordan of Houston.
The two missing stamps were used to send a $50 donation to the Obama campaign and $50 to the Green Presidential campaign of Jill Stein.
There is a big difference between Obama and Romney and the election is not close to over. Many very good and decent people are working hard to reelect President Obama and they merit support.
I don’t think half the country consists of freeloaders and people who think they are victims.
I’m voting for Stein in Republican Texas because she best represents my views on a fair economy, climate change and the freedom to dissent.
The work of freedom is up to each of us and nobody else.
We each have to figure out our own course. We each have many ways we can make an impact.
Every Texan and every American has the ability to attend a public meeting, attend or organize a protest, write or call an elected official, talk to friends and family, start a blog, donate money, write a letter to the editor, volunteer for candidates and causes, engage in acts of civil disobedience, and to run for public office.
With the race for President in Texas almost certainly decided in favor of Mitt Romney, I ask folks to please consider the Green campaign of Jill Stein.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Texas Liberal 
Neil, we are having two all-party candidate meet and greets. One is this Monday, Sept. 24th for non-judicial candidates. The other is Monday, Oct. 1st for all judicial candidates. I sent emails to all candidates from the Democratic, Green, and Libertarian partys. I figure the R’s can figure it out. I’ve gotten two confirmed Green Party attendees! How about that. We talk all the time about reaching out to those who think differently, here is an opportunity to actually do it. Here is a link with more information: http://www.bigjollypolitics.com/wp/2012/09/19/king-street-patriots-host-all-party-harris-county-candidate-meet-greet/

I think I will follow your example, Neil. Except I wonder if the Allen, TX post office has Barbara Jordan stamps.
Neil, thanks for trying to make a difference. I couldn’t support Obama because of his big Wall Street bailouts, his adoption of Romneycare as his health plan, and his undermining of civil liberties with indefinite detention. But I can support Jill Stein without reservation. So my vote on November 6 will reflect my values.
