Here in Mesquite there are always opportunities for residents to help out their
neighbors, and as I looked over my calendar for the coming week, four such
opportunities to do good caught my eye.

Texas Roadhouse 1420 N. Peachtree Rd. for Kenny Antuna, a 2 year old boy with

be holding a Blood Drive in Room C-135. Please contact Cynthia Taylor @

Then that night, there will be a fundraiser for Mrs. Carol Bland held at the Spaghetti

your total food purchase will go to help Carol. You may also contribute by sending

So why is there no repercussions for FOX news who continually ruins people's lives
with bad media practices, not even bothering to research stories before they air
them and get people fired. I think that when FOX news is given enough power to
pressure the Dept of Agriculture to make knee jerk decisions to keep from ending
up on Glen Beck ,, there is a problem. This lady was wronged on so many levels,
somebody needs to make it right, I don't know how,, but seriously, someone has to
be held accountable.

As I look at the Calendar, I see that not only is the next General membership meeting
of the DACED is this Wednesday, but that it is only 99 Days till Election day, and Six
weeks till Labor day weekend. --- Wow.
At this week's Club meeting, the subject will be on the environment. This is a subject
I care about very much, and undoubtedly many of you consider this a very important
issue. Our speaker for the evening will be Michael Hess.
Last Saturday our Democratic Social was hosted by Rep. Robert Miklos at his
campaign Re-Election Headquarters. We had a excellent turnout, and I want to thank
Robert very much for hosting the Social. We had a great time.
I hope to see many of you Wednesday evening.

A week ago today, Mesquite Resident and Community leader Rachel Lopez hosted a
morning Reception for former Houston Mayor and Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Bill
White.
Mr. White was in Dallas County Tuesday campaigning for the Governorship. He is in a
tight race with Gov. Perry and the D-FW area will be crucial to any victory. His visit to
Mesquite, and Texas House District 101 underscores the importance that Eastern
Dallas County plays in choosing the next Governor of Texas.
The Reception, held at the home of Mrs. Lopez and her husband Sal, was attended by
a wide cross-section of the community. Among many local residents in attendance
to meet Candidate White, included State Rep. Robert Miklos, State Representative
Carol Alvarado, Mesquite City Councilman Bill Porter, Justice of the Peace Candidate
2-2 Wesley Johnson, and Pastor Bruce Archer.
In the living room of the Lopez home, Mr. White spoke of how and why Texas needs a
new Governor. A Governor who is not in it for himself and not influenced by special
interests. That Texas needs to get it's economy back on track, and that a good
Public Education system is part of that solution. Other issues discussed included
insurance rates, energy, and Border security.
Many people who attended the morning event, were very happy with the opportunity
to meet Mr. White and ask him questions on issues that were important to them. Deb
Brimer, of Mesquite, expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Lopez on the invitation and
opportunity to meet Bill White. Barbara Rojas, also of Mesquite, thanked Rachel for
opening up her home to host the event.
"It was indeed an honor to have Bill White at our home today;" Mrs. Lopez said.
"What a gracious man he is. I want to thank all of you who attended, as well. We had
a wonderful turnout. In hosting this event I wanted to give our community the chance
to meet a man who really cares about our great State of Texas...and not only that, but
cares enough to come to Mesquite..to our home and meet my friends, neighbors and
fellow community leaders."

She and her allies are doing there best to Frame the dialogue to show Robert doesn't
really represent the interests of the people of HD 101, and that he's only there
because he rode-in on Obama's coattails. I have heard that Mesquite is now 51%
Democrat and Growing. Robert has done alot of good work for all the citizens of
Mesquite, B.S., and Sunnyvale. We need to Re-Elect him.

I find it hilarious that her platform is that she is not politics as usual , yet in last weeks
DMN article she states this as her experience...
Career: Former deputy regional director for state Sen. Bob Deuell; current State
Republican Execu...tive Committee member for Senate District 2; state Republican
convention delegate; election judge and election clerk; no previous political races
I get tired of people saying that Robert doesn't represent our communities values,, I
beg your pardon, I am a part of this community and he represents my values very
well. Narrow minded people that think that they are the only ones whose views count,
and that think they are the majority just because they are louder, really annoy me.
Look around Mesquite if you open your eyes no way can you say that we are anything
but politically diverse, there have been polls that we even lean more left than right.
Just because the politics as usual that SOME people have made the norm has made
alot of the citizens in this city tired and given them the impression that they don't
count , doesn't mean they don't exist , Robert sees that, he hears that , he represents
them as well as all these people that think they are better than , "the least of these".
And don't even bother trying to earn their votes in their campaigns.

Today the Mesquite TEA Party will be hosting a candidate forum featuring two of
our local candidates, and friends: Robert Miklos and Jerry Pittman. The forum will be
held at the La Prada Church of Christ at 6:30 p.m
We all know what the TEA Party has done to our nation’s political discourse. They
demonize our President as a fascist and a socialist, they slander Democrats as
unpatriotic, and they continually heighten the divisiveness of our politics. To them, it’s
good versus bad—and they think WE’RE the bad guys.
I enjoy political debate. But I cannot stand to hear senseless rhetoric and radical
talking points regurgitated as unquestionable truth. I think we need to teach the TEA
Party a lesson.
The TEA Party must to learn that they cannot hijack what we’ve worked so very hard
for. The TEA Party must learn that our community deserves and demands honest and
open discussions about our government—not slurs, slanders, or screaming.
The TEA Party must learn OUR strength.
Join with me and send a message to the TEA Party that Eastern Dallas County
cannot be taken away from us so easily. Join me in taking a stand for common-sense
government. Join me in supporting our friends here at home.

Well the other things you can add to your list, is she is supporting legislation that will
allow federal $$ to be also given to Charter schools, I as the mother of 3 kids in MISD
schools that had to beg for a text book for my child to bring ...Home so I can help her
with her homework, am beyond concerned about that. Our kids are already having to
compromise their education, this would result in automatically deferring in the area
of 40 million dollars from our public schools just here in Mesquite. We can't afford to
elect someone that doesn't put our children first. Miklos is the best candidate by far.
And without a doubt, what is sad is that whoever wrote this letter also thought that
cutting all these things is a good thing,,
I didn't get this letter but I heard several people yesterday mentioning the letter, I'm
curious who they targeted for this mailer, but if you are thinking it is false , I assure
you I have heard Cindy several time unequivocally State her views on the voucher
system, so the other things don't surprise me at all, I totally believe it.

Ladies and Gentlemen this is not a joke, this was a very real mailer sent out by a
Burkett supporter who has no other objective than to hijack our political system and
turn out the ultra conservative element in our community, and they are COUNTING ON
us not to pay attention and to not turn out to vote, GO VOTE, if you... Have already
voted, go to every one of your neighbors and get them to vote this is no longer a
Democrat VS Republican issue its an attack on our city services and attack on our
elderly.

This should concern you if you have a child that goes to public schools. The Voucher
system they are touting as a good thing she supports will result in around 40 million
$$ being taken from our public schools right off the bat. As a parent of a child whom I
had to beg to get a text book for them to bring home for ONE ...day so I could help her,
this is beyond disturbing. We can't afford Cindy Burkett
