Who is Chris Bell, why did he lose his primary and
does he know that I love him?

CSPAN is covering his press conference he has the courage that only a lame duck can anymore, but he is wonderful.

1. He's from Texas and he was redistricted out by DeLay's shenanigans
I'm watching, too, and he is great. I liked his comment that these issues have been in the news and the Ethics committee should have taken it upon themselves to pursue this.

2. It is sorry that he is there by himself.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were political courage from the others?

This guy has a future. Eventually Texas will need a real government and when that time comes I'm moving to Texas to vote for him.

3. His district changed a lot
He got moved into an area that had a higher percentage of minorities. I believe he got defeated by the Houston NAACP President.

4. He's done his homework, and has everything all in place
Now, I hope the rest of the Party stands behind him.

I'm calling his office tomorrow.......800-839-5276........to thank him for taking a stand, and asking who else I should call to support him.

Does anyone else know who is on the Ethics Committee??

This needs to be supported!
