She was briefly co-chair of the county party; the old guard rebelled and turned her out a year ago, as referenced twice now, in favor of a Caucasian woman with a newborn who was just as influential in service over the past twelve months as when she ran for statewide office a couple of cycles ago (which is to say, not).<br /><br />David and I simply (and politely) have disagreed on this topic.<br /><br />Austin Greens have been mostly invisible for a long, long time. I have known of but one consistently active member of the Travis CGP over the past four to five years. There are others certainly, but they should ten times the number that they are.PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-62805990624219018982018-03-05T23:40:41.575-06:002018-03-05T23:40:41.575-06:00Bully on, as in for, Bernardine Williams?

He eventually sounded "accepting," but no more than that, esp. since David considers her part of the old guard in some ways herself, just not white.<br /><br />==<br /><br />As for the HCGP is the same as the state party ... where are Austin's Greens at? I know Dallas is still functioning enough to have regular meetings, not that I've gotten to any.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.com
