| David Harris Press Release, TX CD 06 |
|
December 29, 2005 IT IS TIME FOR JOE TO GO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WWW.FOLLOWMETODC.COM
On Friday afternoon, I will deliver my filing to run as the Democratic Candidate in TX-06 to the state headquarters in Austin. It is an awesome responsibility that lies ahead and my family and I appreciate the encouragement and support we have received over the past few months. Recently, according to the New York Times, “Rep. Joe L. Barton (R-Tex.), an architect of the Medicaid proposals, said the higher co-payments were needed to `encourage personal responsibility' among low-income people.”
While Barton believes those less fortunate need to learn to exercise more “personal responsibility”, I believe the elected official for TX-06 should take more “personal responsibility” for what that job should be…an instrument to serve the constituents of the district from which you are elected, not a position of power to line your pockets. Now that TX-06 has dirtier air, rapidly shrinking salaries in Tarrant and Ellis counties and children dropping off Medicaid rolls at alarming rates its time to enforce our own term limits…its time for Joe to go.
I hope each of you will Follow Me to DC…it is truly the most important work we will ever do.
David Harris Candidate, TX -06 Veteran, Citizen, Leader

One of our own fighting Dems. I'm following David. I think it's time that Smokey Joe returned to private life. Joe Barton has not served the interests of Texans for a long time. His true interests are the special interests, the lobbyists, the big money polluting industry that wants to keep raking in big profits without any responsibility to the people who live around these industries.
I say more power to David Harris and I thank him for having the courage to run, and giving people the power to change their lives. :applause: :patriot: :applause:
