Looks like San Antonio Dems ARE ready for a little comedy...
The response to see "Ann," Holland Taylor's one-woman tribute to
Ann Richards, has been terrific! If you would like to join the alamObama
group for this event, here are the details:
"Ann"
7:30 pm, Thursday, Dec 16th
Charline McComs Empire Theater
226 N. St. Marys 78205
226-3333
With our group discount, tickets in the Mezzanine will be $38.25 each. This is a 10% discount and saves us the Ticketmaster fee :-) I figure the Mezzanine will be the perfect place to see/hear "Ann" while saving us an extra $10 that front row seats cost and avoiding the nosebleed section in the Balcony.
To confirm and get details about purchasing a ticket, please contact
Judy Hall and tell her how many tickets you wish by

Tribute to Ann Richards at the Empire Theatre
Hi alamObama,
How are you doing with your post-election recovery?
How about a little political, comedic relief?
How are you doing with your post-election recovery?
How about a little political, comedic relief?
Holland Taylor's one-woman tribute to Ann Richards could be just the ticket! "Ann" is coming to the McCombs/Empire Theater in December and we're looking at Thursday, Dec 16th for an alamObama group night. Not sure what the discount would be, but the regular tickets range from $37-$50...so, let's get together, reduce the cost, and laugh at the antics of one of our fearless Dem leaders :-)
Please let me know if you're available and ready for some post-election FUN!
Miss you all,

Teaming Up to Get Out the Vote
Posted on behalf of Michael Apodaca, Texas Deputy Field Director of OFA
As I mentioned we did a great job last week and this week needs to be even better. This Saturday October 2nd, we are teaming up with the Bill White Campaign to blockwalk and phonebank to our first time voters. Also, the Bill White campaign invited State Rep. Joaquin Castro to fire us up that morning. Come join Bill White volunteers to unite and reach out to first time voters.
We will start at 10am sharp at their headquarters at 3003 Broadway (on the Corner of Mulberry and Broadway). Our goal will be to spread out to other additional precincts for both Bill White and Ciro Rodriguez. When you come to the office, look for the OFA sign up table, get fired up by Rep. Castro, eat a breakfast burrito, and talk to voters (and if you don't want to blockwalk, I will have tons of phones with me to call voters). Also, come back for some food provided by Me! Sign up at: my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gp39lb
We almost hit 1,000 calls on Saturday alone (we missed it by 50), so this week, please join us!.

Tell Perry and Abbott to Stop the Lawsuit Against Health Reform
Texas is now in the front line in the battle over the Health Care Reform Act. Our Texas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit to have the law declared unconstitutional. Call Governor Perry at 512-463-2000 to tell him you oppose using your tax dollars for the lawsuit against the federal government over the Health Care Reform Act. Let's tie up his phone and let him know we mean business! And while you're at it, email Texas Attorney General Bill Abbot at greg.abbott@oag.state.tx.us and give him the same message!
