Can I just say- we need to get 100% behind Sadler for Senate!

Paul Sadler is running against Grady Yarbrough in the run-offs.

Yarbrough has run as both a Republican and a democrat in past elections.
Sadler has come out strongly in favor of President Obama,"Obamacare",Planned parenthood,and marriage equality.

It will require a dedicated Democratic turnout to change the color of Texas to Blue.

I'll vote for Sadler. Paul Sadler is a genuine Democrat.

Even giving the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Yarborough, Yarborough has yet to establish his bona-fides as a genuine Texas Democrat. Personally, I'm having nasty flashbacks dating to other notorious Texas party-switchers like Phil Gramm and Rick Perry, both elected as Democrats, both of whom quickly turned Republican. I want a Democrat who will be elected as a Democrat who will stay Democratic while in office, not turn his coat for self-interest or for Koch brothers or Exxon-Mobil campaign cash.
