New Website Unveiled

The Bastrop County Democratic Party is pleased to announce their new website and invite you to visit. Lana Tangum has been working hard to design and publish the site. Please visit www.BastropCountyDemocraticParty.com

The Club and Party are hosting a booth at the Elgin Hogeye Festival on Saturday, October 27th from 10AM to 6PM. We will be in the children's game section. We will be encouraging the kids to vote for their favorite beanie baby pig. The children will drop a sea shell in the "ballot box" of their favorite pig. They will receive an "I voted" sticker and told to check the local newspaper for the results of the election. We are going to be teaching the kids how to vote. We will also have on-site voter registration and hand out a list of the proposed constitutional amendments to be voted on in November. We are not allowed to hand out any political information or candidate literature. We are allowed to put up our Democratic County Club sign so we feel it will be good publicity.

The November 1st club meeting will be in Smithville at the First National Bank building. Brian Pendleton, our representative with the State Democratic Party, will be talking about the Constitutional Amendments. Please join us at 7PM.

Constitutional Amendments

The Club President, Clara Maynard recently mentioned that we have several amendments to vote on in November and there has been little done to educate the voting public. I went to http://www.tlc.state.tx.us/pubsconamend/analyses07/analyses07.pdf and started the search. I will summarize and report back on my progress.
