Fessing Up
I rarely talk about my personal life here except, of course, that I have the damn cutest grandson ever, but I guess I need to let you know why I have been awol for a while.
My Bubba is running for re-election as Democratic County Chair. He’s having to campaign hard because Democrats will vote for a woman over a man almost every time and his opponent is female. She’s also a minority in a race that will be decided by minorities because that’s where there are other contested primaries.
The good news is that he’s been endorsed by every Democratic elected official in the entire county, about 95% of precinct chairs, and labor. However, there are about 40,000 people who will vote without knowing anything about this race or having any idea what a party chairman does. His opponent is completely unqualified for the job but she and her friends are on the phone day and night spreading false rumors about Don.
I love this man and I have loved him for 46 years, so I have been helping him day and night. Early voting starts the middle of next month and March 1 is election day. So, don’t expect a lot of work out of me during this time. Forgive me if I just put up a topic and leave y’all to discuss it.
If you know any Democrats in my county, ask them to vote March 1st for my Bubba – Don Bankston for Democratic Party Chair.
Thank you, guys.
Good luck!
1Good luck to der Bubba!
2Pull out all the stops to elect your good man, Mrs B.! We’ll be fine and promise to behave. Maybe even scratch up a little pocket change just for the simple pleasure of sending Glen an obnoxious note. With Mr. B’s impressive and long list of endorsements and some phoning, may truth and the good man win.
3Now if I were a bad guy with a ballot, I could come down there and fulfill all the RWNJ fantasies about “voter fraud”. But all I can do is wish Bubba luck and as PKM says, maybe come up with some pocket change.
4Sending good karma from PA.
5Anything else we can do to help? Need money for signage? Door hangers? Newspaper ads? Skywriting?
If nothing else, we’ll send positive thoughts Bubba’s way. Because we love him too.
Good Luck!
6“His opponent is completely unqualified for the job but she and her friends are on the phone day and night spreading false rumors about Don.”
That’s the definition of a republican/tea bagger. Somebody needs to tell her she’s in the wrong party.
7Essential to winning an election is never to take anything for granted – and you don’t, JJ. Best of luck to the both of you.
8Good luck and Go Get ‘Em!
9I wish you and Don the best of luck in this race, however, you need to find a way to make it known that the opponent is running a smear campaign against your dear Bubba … don’t know if doing your own blanket phoning to “set the record straight” is an option or not … but I hope you can find a way to get his message across and the rumors dispelled!!

10Wow! 40,000 Dems in Ft. Bend County? Montgomery County is jealous.
11Bubba ROCKS! What can the Beauty Salon patrons do to help. Just point us!
12All the way from Cali, Don. Best of luck.
13It’s not that stupid Larouche-ite is it?? Is there a place we can buy Mr B an advertisement?
14I’m rooting for Mr. B for sure, JJ. We got your/his back. Let us know what we can do.
15Guys, you can LIKE his Facebook page. Next month we will need some people to phone bank. You call known Democratic voters and ask them to vote for Don. We are raising enough money for now, but I’ll let you know if you need to send $20. Facebook: Chairman Don Bankston, Fort Bend County Democratic Party
16Good luck, Bubba and Juanita Jean!
17Best of luck. At least one person from Aladamnbama is rooting for you and Bubba. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
18Late checkin after being out of town, but best of luck to Bubba! Unfortunately telling the truth after bad rumors usually just fixes the bad rumor in people’s heads, so going ahead on his virtues and trying to ignore the lies may be the better bet.
