Texas is Falling Behind on the Leader Board !!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=leaderboard

Come on guys and gals. Shouldn't the greatest state in the Union be at the TOP of the list?

We can whoop those Cali-freak-a-fornians!
(j/k - I LOVE CA)...

For those of us who already have stars, we can donate for other DUers who do not.
A DUer who has search capabilities is a DUer with POWER!!

Donate here >> http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html

1. I agree
Let's move on up to the top. Maybe it will help show our fellow DUers that Texas is not just full of right-wing nuts.

7. We're # 4! We're #4
Hey guys I don't mind California being ahead and I especially like Florida climbing up like they are. We need to win Florida in Nov. Most of the times Texas is ranked # 1 in some statistic or poll, it's usually not pretty. I'm happy to be rebuilding TX. Lets be happy that for a red state we're in the top 5 and that's not bad.

That said everyone should do what they can. Even $5 bucks helps DU.

Sonia

8. Just a little is all it takes. A stone thrown across the surface of a
pond. Just one butterfly and just one more monkey.

9. Going to have to beat the NY'ers
We are afterall the number two state in the nation. I can understand being behind California, but not NY or Florida.

11. Maybe if we discussed issues pertinent to Texas politics
the number of posts would increase.

Of course knowing what car we all drive might help us understand why we are paying out our ass for gas.

13. John . Dude .
We're talking about the Fundraiser :hi: not post counts.
(or did I read you wrong?)

If that donkey doesn't kick *ass* pretty soon ... we may not have a front row view of the finale.

I drive a white car.

18. Leaderboard
shows donations by state >>
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=leaderboard

Texas has retaken 2nd place. I'm not counting the "global" donations because they could be from anywhere. So, among the states, Texas is 2nd to California.. and now ahead of NY!!

I'm just trying to make this fun :+

15. ummm, sad to say yes. Deep in the heart of the conservative wasteland
Edited on Sat May-15-04 12:14 AM by anarchy1999
we love to call home. Dallas. What can I say. You got us.

And on edit for #12, it was supposed to say on, not one.

Come ON Texas DU'ers, we can do it.

We gave, did you? Wasn't that a slogan in some pitiful commercial?

By the way, are you kidding or being serious about not knowing anarchy1999 was in Texas and about the haystick from between the teeth? And the yeepie ie io crap? What part of Tejas do you live in dear?

16. LOL ..
Yes I joke about the hay stick in the teeth because of the stereotype I've heard from some non-Texans.
Barefoot, hay stick in the teeth, still ride horses everywhere, outhouses too I guess.

I really didn't know you were in Texas. We're not too far from Dallas... Truthfully, I've been trying to scheme a way to move to So Cal for the past several years. That culture fits my personality much better than Texas. After the gropenator governor election, though, I've been less interested in that move. The hill country in our state might come a littler closer .. but no Pacific ocean :( .
