By now we have all heard of the freeper-fest at Congressman Lloyd Doggett's "neighborhood office hours" event. Admit it, you feel a little guilty for not doing everything possible for "healthy healthcare." Your latest chance to show support for real healthcare reform has arrived. Media folks are sure to be there!
Congressman Lloyd Doggett's Next
Healthcare Event
11:15 a.m. Saturday, August 8
CommunityCare, Rundberg Health Center
825 E. Rundberg Lane
Special Update: Senator John Cornyn has told Gardner Selby of the Statesman he plans to attend. He sincerely hopes our rights to freedom of speech aren't impinged upon at the rally, so let's exercise those rights!
We need to show the country why Doggett wins his elections by a margin of over 67% every time. Most importantly, we must show the national media that the majority of Americans believe in meaningful healthcare reform!
Erik Azulay, Glen Maxey, Mark McCulloch, and Karl-Thomas Musselman

Go, represent the real majority of Americans, and defend our democratic dialog.
I've been all around Texas: North, South, East, and West.
I've hit Houston and DFW, which only leaves Central Texas to dissect. In the few spare minutes I have before I dash off to Denver (squeee!), I thought I'd finish the project I started well before the March 4 primary.
Let's have a look at TX-10, TX-20, TX-21, TX-25, and TX-31. Catch you on the flipside.
GWEN IFLL: Laylan Copelin, how big a political figure is Tom DeLay in Texas?
LAYLAN COPELIN: Oh, he's huge. He's the second most powerful Texan in Washington for us, and he had a high profile in Austin, Texas, where Ronnie Earle is the prosecutor because he personally came down and lobbied to -- for the new congressional maps, which included splitting up Travis County, which is -- used to be a Democratic stronghold, and also trying to isolate the Congressman Lloyd Doggett here. So the Democrats here are very aware of Tom DeLay so he has a very high profile in Texas.
Follow me on the flip to see Congressman Doggett really enjoying the sight of 15K Texas Democrats all fired up and ready to go.
Alyce Doggett, mother of U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, died Friday in Austin. She was 89.
She was born in Georgetown and had lived in Austin since 1940.
Her husband, Dr. Lloyd Doggett, died earlier.
Services will be 2 p.m. Sunday in the chapel of First United Methodist Church in Austin. The family has requested that memorial contributions be made to First United Methodist Church and Seton Medical Center in lieu of flowers.
My condolences to the Doggett family. May Alyce Doggett rest in peace.
