The View From Here

You know what I call this? A sign of better things to come:

Your winning billboard on display in Texas

Democracy for America stood with me long before telling the truth about Tom DeLay became fashionable. You made a difference in Texas—with your support last year, my challenge brought Tom DeLay closer to losing his seat than ever before in his political career.

You can see every day on the news that your courage sparked something big. You helped make Tom DeLay the national symbol of Republican excess. He and the machine he built are on the defensive. And they should be—DeLay and his party must be held accountable for the corruption and abuse of power in Congress.

So keep fighting the good fight. Here in Texas and across the country we're onto DeLay and his special interest allies—and we want our country back. If you're in the area, you can also join one of two DFA visibility rallies at the DeLay billboards in Galveston and Houston. Count on me to keep fighting, too.

Your work has made a deep impression on me, and on this district. Keep it up—and keep showing the whole country what you can do.

Sincerely,
Richard Morrison
Resident of Texas's 22nd Congressional District
and Democratic candidate for Congress in 2004
