19. Chairman Hinojosa is getting involved

Here is an e-mail that I just received from Chairman Hinojosa about Kesha

Dear _____,
Kesha Rogers is one of the candidates on the ballot for U.S. Senator in the Democratic primary -- but do not be fooled. Kesha Rogers is not a Democrat.

Ms. Rogers is part of the “LaRouche Movement,” which has a history of violent rhetoric. The focus of her campaign is impeaching President Obama. Rogers has even paraded around Texas with a poster of the President with a Hitler mustache.

Rogers believes that the U.S. economy is secretly controlled by London financial institutions and she has advocated for colonizing Mars. That’s not what real Democrats stand for.

The Texas Democratic Party does not support the candidacy of Kesha Rogers or anyone that aligns themselves with the LaRouche Movement. Our State Democratic Executive Committee even issued a resolution against her campaign. Do not vote for Kesha Rogers in the primary.

Rogers’ candidacy is a insult to our Party, our President, our state, our Democratic values, and to all the work you are doing to move our state forward.

Do not vote for Kesha Rogers.

All my best --

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Primary

I would hate to see Kesha in a run off.

Is she registered as a Democrat? If so, then technically she is a Democrat. Maybe kelly1mm Feb 2014 #3
