Political Pulse: Not a Democraddick Party

Not a Democraddick Party

Wednesday evening August 9, 2006, Texas State HD #33 Representative Candidate Solomon P. Ortiz Jr. (Solly) held an open invitation to the public to join him at the Texas State Aquarium. The public was included as the message addressed the HD #33 precinct chairs in the spirit of Public Opinion. Solly is engulfed in a controversial battle with Danny Noyola Sr. (note: both enter as loophole candidates) for the precariously vacated HD #33 State Representative seat. In the “spur of the moment” resignation, Democraddick Incumbent, Vilma Luna in one fell swoop abandoned her responsibility to her constituents and the Democratic Party while creating opportunity for the Republican Party to vie for the crucial position by entering their own loophole candidate in Joe Mc Comb. Upon arrival to the Aquarium, the parking lot was filled. Many had to park down the street and walk back to the Aquarium. Surprisingly, Solly and His Father (Congressman Ortiz) had to walk as well. Everybody had a great time. Water Street Oyster Bar catered the festivity although, I did think twice about partaking of the oysters (as August does not end in R) but the thought quickly faded as the oysters disappeared. There were several little food islands throughout the “maze like” assortment of aquatic niches. Guests (many families and their children) got to explore the depths while sampling different cheeses, fruits, beverages, quesadillas and various seafoods. The message to the precinct chairs reverberated innately through the event via the guests. When it came time for the speeches; there wasn’t much left (for Solly, or Terry Shamsie or Oscar Ortiz or the Congressman) to say (in addition). The Chairs all know WATT they must do. If they will make the right choice; remains to be demonstrated? One thing is certain, intimidation and unscrupuality cannot be allowed on Sunday. We need not create any more baggage; for the horses that we run, already labor under a heavy burden. Heaven forbid, should “the wagon tip over”? Everyone is urged to attend the Executive Committee meeting on Sunday at 2:00 PM at the Nueces County Courthouse. This way there will be no question of ambiguity, innuendo, impromptu hugs or hanging chads. LOL.

Now that’s debatable?

Will the two Candidates debate? John Kelley has extended an invitation for the two Democratic HD #33 candidates, Solomon P Ortiz Jr. & Danny Noyola Sr. to debate the issues this Saturday August 12, 2006, the day before the deciding Precinct Chair vote on Sunday. Solly has already answered, he will attend the show whether Danny chooses to show up or not. This will be an excellent time for both men to address the issues they believe are important to us in HD #33. Looking forward to the joust.
