[AGL] Fwd: Tiger, Our own Ronald Earle

[Frances Morey]

Blacky, 
  Glad you enjoyed it alla way from Jakarta. On a political note, this evening I viewed a new documentary film called "The Big Buy" at the AFL-CIO state hqts. on Lavaca. Despite a weak-volumn soundtrack, it is well done and clarifies the criminal indictment of Tom DeLay, Da Hammer. The most interesting and revelatory commentary by Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, and enumerable others was interwoven with the footage of DeLay revealing his utter contempt for the federal government. He ruthlessly engineered a power grab of a government that he apparently would like to destroy. I fear he came close to succeeding. The segments with prominent lawyers, Ronnie Earle, Joe Turner, Dick DeGuerin and Judge Bob Perkins were better than Boston Legal. Ronnie Earle is at the top of his form.
Everyone attending was encouraged to buy the DVD and invite 10 of your best friends over to view it for discussion--a strategy for exerting influence on the coming election. At the end the group was asked to fill out a post card addressed to Gov. Rick Perry asking him to initiate a plan at the state level for dealing with the problem of global warming. The idea of Perry embracing this cause as we go towards the November election is not much more unlikely than the fact that our own US Rep. Lamar Smith, (R), has come out for exploration and development of alternative energy sources, due to pressure from activists in his DeLay gerrymandered district. If you can't beat 'em, change their minds. If you can't buy 'em, teach them something.
Best,
Frances
