Beto called!

Well, not Beto, but his volunteer called my wife's 88 year old uncle in San Antonio today. He lives alone and we have been talking to him several times a day since all this started. He is doing fine. His power and water a back up and running. He was excited to be able to get a hot shower today. Beto's volunteer called this afternoon to check on him and if he needed anything. He's a good Democrat and was excited to get the call.

Go Beto!

....many more people around the country phone banking to make sure Texans get the help they need or at least are safe in their homes.

Imagine if he were Senator instead of just a private citizen.
