Karen Felthauser Runs For Office
"Karen Felthauser, an avid supporter of Governor Dean, has decided to run as a write-in candidate for the 52nd District seat of the Texas House of Representatives."

SNIP..."For years, Karen has been an active member of Williamson County's educational community. She is a certified teacher and a member of Education Round Rock, the Texas Federation of Teachers, the Texas State Teachers Association, and two Parent Teacher Associations. "I chose to run because I don't believe the current representative adequately addresses the very real needs of Williamson County's District 52 residents," says Felthauser..."

1. Oh, boy, Williamson County?

I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

2. She attends our Kerry Meet-ups. I have to say that she is a very

courageous woman because our county is as republican as it gets. Hopefully, she will change that.

3. At least it is a start.

She is making a point, and that is important. Little by little.

4. Which Republican piece of trash is she running against?

Talk about your uphill battles...I wish her the best!

5. Just saw that a write-in candidate in NH got on the ballot in Nov.

Here is a snip from her post:

"I'm running for State Representative in the New Hampshire House. Of the 154 write-in votes I received 137. The Town Clerk and the Elections Administrator were really surprised. They said no one ever gets that many write-ins. So, next door neighbor, we Dean inspired candidates are on our way. I really have my work cut out for me in the next 45 days. Luck to both of us in getting elected.
