Ohio, Iraq War Veteran, ” Honorary Texan Paul Hackett”
Paul Hackett volunteered to serve in Iraq, and now volunteers for as tough a task as any facing an American: running for Congress… with Progressive ideas… in Ohio.
So, you might reasonably ask: How does this relate to Texas, or Latinos?
Does this help?
I understand what’s at stake for my neighbors and people all across America. I won’t sit on the sidelines and watch politics as usual take us in the wrong direction
I’m ready to take your fight to Washington. I’m ready to take a stand on the issues that matter most to us, like keeping American jobs at home, protecting our Social Security benefits, making good healthcare accessible to everyone, and, of course, bringing the war in Iraq to a swift and secure resolution
Every community needs bright, committed Progressives to run for office, not just Latinos in Texas. And even when people dont accomplish all they set out to do, they can inspire their neighbors to try harder (or to give $25), even if they are 5 or 6 states away ; )

So join us today, in a special edition, Texas Thursday, for Honorary Texan Paul Hackett.
ps. thanks to BOR and DFA-List (which also endorsed Castro in San Antonio) for getting the word out.
