Vote!
Tomorrow is a voting day – here in Austin there are many proposals on the ballot. Historically, the turnout for this middle-of-the-season votes is low, so I’m hoping I can urge you to vote.
So in general, people want to do 16 constitutional amendments and spend $9 billion dollars. I say don’t spend any new money. One is for more accountability for our lawmakers – and who can say no to that?
The ballot is online for our reading enjoyment.
Operation Call Home
The second thing is the Operation Call Home that our local News Talk Radio Station is hosting on Friday. You can go online and donate if you’re not from around here. It’s the 5th year of the thing, too – you donate money and they purchase calling cards for troops so they can call home during the holidays. It’s a great great charity, and even $3 or $5 goes a long way to help a soldier.
I’m going to add a banner over on the right for this week.















Ugh. All 16 propositions passed, and they passed easily. $9 billion. Sheesh, that’s a lotta dough.
