Should Outside Election Observers Be Sent To Harris County?—How About Jimmy Carter?
The integrity of the elections process is under attack in Harris County.
Far-right Tea Party groups are harassing voter registration drives in Harris County that are looking to increase the number of voters of all kinds in Harris County.
These Tea Party groups are being funded by billionaires who want to corrupt our democracy with huge amounts of money and extremist conservative ideology.
At the same time, all the voting machines in Harris County have been burned up in a mysterious fire.
Republicans in control of the voting process in Harris County simply can’t be trusted to make sure all parts of the county get a fair share of voting machines for Election Day.
When the entire picture is considered, citizens of Harris County have every reason to be concerned that our elections will not be free and fair in 2010.
The Harris County Democratic Party, elected Democrats in the county, and all freedom loving citizens need to be active in making sure that all eligible voters are able to vote at the polls in 2010.
It may be the case that outside help is needed.
Folks in Harris County need to be aware of what is taking place and they need to fight back against Republican manipulation of our democracy.

Public Toilet
I was driving around Houston a few days back when I encountered this public toilet.
Maybe it was a commentary on society.
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.
