I just got the following request from Moveon.org:r

While the Presidential race dominates headlines, Tom DeLay’s underhanded plans for Texas are quietly moving forward. DeLay’s goal has been clear from the start — to eliminate key progressives, and at the same time ensure that the makeup of the U.S. Congress stays solidly Republican.r
r
One of DeLay’s prime targets is U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett. Lloyd has been one of the most progressive leaders in the House. He was a leader against the rush to war in Iraq and has consistently stood his ground against the extremist policies of the Republican leadership. Here?s what Republican staffer Joby Fortson had to say in an internal memo, upon seeing what they were able to do to Doggett?s district: “ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha” [1].r

Congressman Doggett is fighting to stay in office. He is running in the newly-drawn 25th district and has asked for our help in his primary bid. We encourage you to support his re-election campaign by making a donation, here: https://www.moveon.org/pac/doggett/r
