Dear Progressives,
It's hard to talk about anything else besides the primary elections that start today with early voting. Please participate in your primaries & caucuses, no matter your political persuasion. It's time to move past the labels put on many of you who participated in record numbers in the 2008 primaries. There are no "Obama voters", "Hillary voters", or "Palin voters" anymore. You are all Texan voters, diverse and proud, and you can reward or punish the many officeholders you voted into office in 2008. Do what you can to make sure the leadership choices we have are the best we can have. Do it - You'll be glad you did!

Be Well, and Be Progressive!
