Robb Zipp at Large

My name is Robb Zipp and I want to change your life for the better. I'm a 28 year old guy from Houston, Texas who is on the Executive Steering Committee of Democracy for Houston and I am an active member of the Harris County Young Democrats. This blog is a journal of my adventures in politics and what I think you can do to help make a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I hope you've all had a great Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for the new Democratic Congress who is about to take power!

wow

Things have been crazy around here. Thankfully most of the nation has woken up and kicked those Republican bums out, but Texas hasn't. I will be discussing why on the next episode of Truthmobile Live on Monday the 13th at 8 PM.

I would like to congratulate every single Democratic candidate for standing up for what is right and doing their part to make a difference. I'm very happy for those who won, but I'd also like to impart on them not to ever give up. As one of my favorite candidates David Van Os says, "Fight 'em till Hell freezes over and then fight 'em on the ice!"

I will keep up the good fight and I hope everyone else will, too.

Robb Zipp's really abbreviated voter's guide:

This is what I did. I cannot tell you how to vote, but I can tell you how I voted. I have that right.

I didn't vote Straight Ticket Democratic. Nope. I did vote for every single Democrat (most of which I have personally went out of my way to meet and talk to) individually so that I could see their name at the end. In races where there was no Democrat running, but there was a Libertarian, I voted for them. In races where Republicans were running unopposed, I left it blank. There is one Green Party candidate (that I knew before-hand was a Green) who is a write-in candidate for Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. I scrolled his name (Charles E. Waterbury) in instead of voting for the Republican or Libertarian.

Those are my endorsements. I really hope you find the time to vote. It's more important than you know.

Democratic Rally at Houston City Hall, Election Eve 2006

Tonight I went down to City Hall and heard from many of the people you will see on the Democratic ticket Tuesday (today or tomorrow, depending on when you read this). It was supposed to be outside, but the rain forced us inside and it was an event that I will never, ever forget. The energy in the lobby of City Hall was electric. Now I'm not naive enough to believe that every one of the candidates will win, but I really wish they all could. I really wish the rest of the people of this state could open up their eyes and realize what the true Republican agenda is. I'm forever grateful that I have.

Please vote. It's your civic duty.


Freedom - better quality

If this doesn't encourage you to vote out the Republicons, I don't know what else will.
