Hello Les--
$2 cover at any venue is a good deal.
I personally will not be in until Saturday.
I am sending this to the gang. Hopefully it will reach folks before they leave Friday. I understand that National Secretary Greg Pason is already in Corpus. Has he made contact with you?
See you tomorrow.

Friday night we can have a get together at any number of venues downtown. let's meet in the Presidential suite of the hotel at 9:00 p.m. and decide where to go.
Saturday night the Ying Yang Fandango is having a live performance of a celtic/gypsy band nearby. The place is quite cool and it's a late cafe. Cover $2.00 but a great buy at that.

Cano for Congress -- I like that. You know, a lot of younger people like to
think of themselves as independents. If Raul is listed as an Independent on
the ballot, he may really have a shot at winning. Besides the conservatives
will be split up.

Hello Erik--
Good to see you are on top of this. I will not bother to send the laws this
weekend since you already have.
On another front, I have started on the minutes, but I do not recall your
wife's name, Erik, nor did I get Samantha's last name. I am listing them as
observers.
This weekend I will try to send something to the expanded email list with a
synopsis of the convention as well as solicit further congressional
candidates.
Cano for Congress!

Michael, I agree with your thinking. I think the run off thing would be
viable only if we run candidates in the Democratic Party primary.
Some of the other candidates, as I understand it, may not be Socialists,
and may wish to challenge Solomon in the primary election.
If we support those people in the primary, we would not be eligible to sign
the petitions for an independent candidate.
There is no run off in the General Election. Our strategy should be to
divide the conservatives, not to divide ourselves between three candidates.
We have to decide among us who the Independent Candidate is to be before the
November election.
I ran for State Representative on the Democratic Ticket in 1981, I think it
was. I didn't have to get any signatures. I just had to take a $400 check
to Austin and sign the papers.
Bill,
You know, you have an interesting idea! What if we run a candidate
against Solomon in the Democratic Primary??>> >> Has anyone arranged for Greg's accommodations? It occurred to me that

the Presidential Suite for Saturday evening. If all else fails, I can
guarantee you a spot in my Motel 6 room. Don't worry, we will arrange
something! Meals are on me, if no other arrangement has been made.
What are your arrangements for Friday PM? Has someone arranged to meet you
at the bus station? Do you have housing set up?Not sure when folks are
arriving, but I think Michael Yoder will be there Friday evening. Please
let me (or somebody) know,
I will have my cell phone activated, as much as I hate those things. All,
please make note of the number: 512-925-2497. I will not be arriving in
Corpus until about 8:30-9 AM on the 6th, leaving Blanco County about 5:30-6
AM, but I will have the phone on at that time. Until then, my home phone
number is 830-833-5315.

Minutes of the 2005 Socialist Party of Texas Convention
August 6, 2005
Presidential Suite, Ramada Inn, 600 Water Street, Corpus Christi, Texas
In attendance: Raul Cano, Brownsville; Emma GonzaLes, Brownsville; Bill Fulcher, Brownsville; Erik Carlos Toren, San Juan; Les Cassidy, Corpus Christi; Michael Yoder, Laredo; Steve Rossignol, Blanco County
Observers (at various times): John Kelley, Nick Braune, Linda Braune, Joan Braune, Samantha Garcia, Greg Pason
Cassidy (with Kelley) stated that people in Corpus had been involved with United Peace and Justice as well as the Progressive populist Caucus. They have a radio program entitled Media Focus, and are publishing a local paper entitled The Red Snapper. The Progressive Caucus works with SP-TX folks. Kelley talked about counter-recruitment activities and the uses of art to send a political message. There have also been anti-Walmart actions and a fund-raiser for Kinky Friedman

Steve,
What would you think of having 3 candidates run for Cong. Dist 27? Raul
Cano in the valley, Carlos Morin in Kingsville, and myself or John Kelley in
Corpus Christi? We could have a primary and it would be a great way to
organize our party in South Texas. It's not about winning the election anyway.
