I’ve asked you for money twice this election season and you came through both times.  First for the online ballot by mail request program for the Texas Democratic Party.  And then again for the mailing of ballot by mail applications.

I want to give you an update but I don’t have all the numbers yet for the entire state.  I can, however, give you some rough numbers for my own county.  Four years ago, we had 400 people vote by mail.  We have just passed 4,200 ballot by mail requests from people identified as Democrats.  I am told that is happening all across Texas.  You helped make that happen.

We are still doing chase calls of those people who got our mailing to make sure they mail it back to get a ballot.  We get the nicest people on the phone who thanks us profusely for the application.

It’s worked and I thank you.  I’ll have better numbers for you soon.

(I’ll ask you for a donation again next week but it will stay with my local party.  So don’t go on any shopping sprees this weekend.)
