(Note: The following letter was signed by all members of the Texas Progressive Alliance and sent to the TDP office yesterday. We’re also posting it publicly to ensure that the good work done by Amber and Hector is properly lauded.)
Amber Moon, Communications Director
Hector Nieto, Deputy Communications Director
Texas Democratic Party
707 Rio Grande Street
Austin, Texas 78701Dear Amber and Hector:
Over the past few months, you have done tremendous work to bring the Texas Democratic Party and the surging Texas netroots community together.
Specifically, we want to commend you for the accommodations you provided at the recently completed Texas Democratic Party Convention in Fort Worth. From the front row seating to free wi-fi access, you gave us tremendous access to an excellent convention. Most importantly, you treated us with the same respect you gave the traditional media.
The Texas blogging community may be an unconventional bunch. We don’t write for major dailies, and we can’t guarantee thousand dollar checks. We do, however, work tirelessly — as volunteers, as activists, as organizers, and as bloggers — to fight for the candidates and the people of our Texas Democratic Party.
Thanks, again, for all the work you did helping make the 2006 TDP convention a success, and we are eager to continue working together to help move Texas forward.
Sincerely,
The Texas Progressive Democratic Webloggers
