Kinky Friedman on House Bill 1721

(Editor's note: Once again, we turn this space over to the Kinky Friedman for Governor campaign. Listen up.)

Hi Folks,

As a campaign, we ask a lot of our fellow Texans. We ask that you register to vote. We ask that you not vote in the primaries. We ask you to hold your vote for Kinky. And, of course, we always ask the god of your choice to bless you.

Today we have a very important request of all you Kinky supporters: we need you to show your support for HB 1721, a bill now in committee that could seriously improve Kinky's chances of getting on the ballot in 2006. If this bill were to pass, not only could we start collecting ballot signatures for Kinky in January, instead of March, but anyone could sign the petition, whether they vote in the primaries, or not.

HB 1721 is currently being held up in committee, by Madame Chair, Mary Denny - likely with help from fellow committee members. We need y'all to write or call either Madame Chair or any of the committee members to let them know how important it is to you that they pass this bill into law.

Show this committee how it works. Call these folks now. Tell them you want them to pass this bill. Show them who runs this state: the people of Texas.

Thank you, fellow Texans,
