I'm am proud to announce DACED raised over $3000 in our first ever fundraiser, this
money will go a long way as we work to get democrats elected in 2012. We learned
alot that will help us in the future, but overall I think everyone involved in the planning
will agree it was a fun experience.

LOVE IT "To help them understand what is happening, let me suggest that they watch
the Lion King movie again and make the following substitutions: Replace President
Barack Obama for the Lion King, Republicans for the wicked uncle and the tea party
for the hyenas. These minor changes should make the viewer understand how
putting control of our government in the hands of Republicans is hurting our people
and our nation"

Between the twin concerns of National Debt and the Unemployment Rate,
Unemployment is the more pressing problem for the US economy.

Since our last gathering at Martinez on July 27th, it's been a busy time.
On August 3rd & 4th we all celebrated the 50th Birthday of President Obama. At many
house parties across Dallas County and North Texas we all sang a collective "Happy
Birthday Mr. President !"
At the Birthday Party held at the Infomart last Thursday night,.the DCDP took time to
honor all our Precinct Chairs for their service. Certificates of appreciation and
acknowledgment of time served as a PC, ranging from 1 year to 61 years, were given
out and celebrated. I think that was a great idea, and thank the DCDP for doing it.
On Friday the 5th Shannon and I hosted the August First Friday gathering at our house.
We all had a wonderful time, spending an evening of great conversation with good
friends.
We look forward to the next First Friday to be held on Sept. 2. with the location TBA
Last, but not least, Our Club's Casino Night event held this past Saturday was a
resounding triumph !! Our club raised over $3000 in our first ever fundraiser, this
money will go a long way as we enter the 2012 campaign season.
I want to thank everyone who came out, our sponsors, the Dalmatian Rescue of North
Texas, Senor Jalapeno, friends, family & fellow Democrats. Without all of you this
event would not have been such a success.
I am very happy with the results of this event, and feedback I've been getting back is
very positive. I have already been told that this should be our club's yearly fundraising
event, and that many of you are looking forward to the next Casino night.
But before that happens, there is, as always, work to be done.
This coming Saturday August 13th, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, we'll be at the Balch Springs
Recreation Center for the Back-to-School Bash and Mayor's Diversity fair. We will
have a Voter Registration table there registering and educating new voters. Then in
the afternoon, the DACED Executive Committee will be holding a meeting at the home
our VP Fernando Rojas and his wife Barbara.
A couple of more dates to mention, Sheriff Lupe Valdez will be speaking to the
Mesquite Chamber of Commerce this coming Thursday August 11th at 11:00 AM at
the Mesquite Convention center. 1700 Rodeo Dr. Mesquite, TX 75149 - Cost is $25 at
the door.
Then on August 18th the Mesquite LULAC will hold its next meeting at SEÑOR
JALAPEÑO 3304 N. Town East Blvd, Mesquite, TX 75150 Please contact Fernando
Rojas 214-718-8006 for more information.

For several months now, there has been an effort to create a chapter of the League of
United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) here in our community. Mesquite resident
Fernando Rojas has been the main driving force behind the project.
Although it has been slow to gain traction, his persistence is beginning to pay off.
Attendance during the organizational meetings have been steady, and there will soon
be enough pledged members to ask the National LULAC organization for the creation
of a chapter in Mesquite.
The Mesquite LULAC will be holding its next meeting August 18th 7:00 PM at SEÑOR
JALAPEÑO 3304 N. Town East Blvd, Mesquite, TX 75150
The meeting is open, and the public is invited to attend.
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was established February 17,
1929 in Corpus Christi, Texas. It's currently headquartered in Washington DC and
has local chapters nationwide. It's website is: http://lulac.org/
The aims and purposes of LULAC are:
1. To foster the learning and fluent use of the English language.
2. To constitute the League into a service organization to actively promote and foster
suitable measures for the attainment of the highest of our American society
3. To establish cooperative relations with civic and governmental institutions
and agencies
4. To exert our united efforts to uphold the rights guaranteed to every individual by
our state and national laws and to assure justice and equal treatment under
these laws
5. To combat all un-American tendencies and actions that deprive American citizens
of their rights in educational institutions, in economic pursuits and in social and
political activities
6. To oppose any infringement upon the constitutional political rights of an individual
to vote and/or be a candidate upon at local, state and national levels
7. To promote and encourage the education of youth and adults through scholarships,
sponsorship of classes in citizenship and other areas

I don't' even care what his grades in college were, He FAILED our kids and doesn't
even take responsibility, We are at the bottom at more than we are the top... when the
only jobs being created in our minimum wage jobs, when we are cutting education off
the top instead of as a last resort ,,, He has nothing to be proud of,,,

News Agencies are not being tough enough on Rick Perry. They need to get past the
soundbites and into substance, which they will find Perry lacks.

Yes, if the business community wants to make money, they have to invest. The
speculators, the CEOs, the bankers, etc. will find a way to turn a profit no matter what
the environment is at ant given moment in time or they will go bankrupt, the capitalist
system we operate in has always been that way. Taxing won't stop the
entrepreneurial spirit of the American businessperson, it just make them work
harder.

How could anyone really not think climate change is real? Just from my perspective
here in N. TX I know that the weather is way more hotter than it was when I was a
teenager, and the spring rains were not so violent, and or red flag/burn ban lasted 1/3
of the year.
