Meant to link to this story about the Texas Democratic Party town hall meeting in Laredo, but didn't get to it till now. The real story isn't so much what was said and done, but that it happened and that the people involved were happy with it. The TDP has ignored the Rio Grande Valley for a long time, and anyone who can read election results can see that it's not the Democratic stronghold it once was. There's no reason that can't be reversed, and since the Democrats aren't going to win anything statewide without a strong showing in the Valley, the need to invest here is crystal clear. Let's keep this going.
