Coordinated Campaign 2008 - Harris County Democratic Party

Every day we see more and more volunteers — both seasoned veterans and people getting involved in politics for the first time — flow into our offices helping make over 7000 calls a day!

It’s the unprecedented level of enthusiasm and momentum you see every day in our campaign offices and in your neighborhoods.

If you haven’t volunteered yet, now is your chance to join our momentum and help us to work to victory these next two weeks. We need your help more than ever to blast through the finish line, turn out Democrats, and make the difference in November.

Our eight county-wide campaign offices are open from early in the morning to late at night, and are filled with supporters like you working tirelessly to bring change to Harris County.

Call 713-802-0085 or click here to find an office near you. Give us a call today. Only with your help can we defeat decades of entrenched Republican corruption, and turn Harris County Blue.

We’re closing in on one of the most historic elections in a long time.  We are buzzing all over the County with folks wanting to help us get the word out about our amazing slate of Democratic Candidates.  The Westside has been especially buzy!  People keep asking if we can put a few more hours in the day.  Ask and you shall recieve!  Starting Monday, we will revise our hours.  We will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

Let us know what we can do for you.  Come on by and help us retire some bad politicians and get some good Dems get elected.  Feel free to contact us at the office at 281-496-3366.  You can also get us by email.

You are invited to join us Wednesday, October 15^th, at Studio Movie Grill (MAP) in Northwest Harris County as we watch Barack Obama and John McCain debate major issues facing the American people including Domestic and Economic Policy. 

This is a great opportunity to join fellow Democrats for the final debate and learn about ways you can get involved over the last two weeks of this historic campaign cycle.  Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. with the debate beginning at 8 p.m.  Come meet local candidates, your Democratic Party organizers and other Democratic Activists as we enjoy this Great Debate.

Like many of our neighbors, Hurricane Ike hit our party’s Headquarters hard.  We have had to move our central office from the location on 610 & Ella to a new office space on Pinemont:

1102 Pinemont Drive Suite F1
Houston, TX 77018 (map)
phone: 713-802-0085
pinemont.hcdp08.org

Martha Cottingham and our office staff have done an outstanding job of creating an all new Democratic Headquarters in the face of many difficult challenges.  As of today, the phones are up and ringing, volunteers are busy working, and Democrats are set for winning!

Thank you again for your patience during this difficult time.  We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers, and hope things are well with you and yours.  Come see us at our new Pinemont Headquarters and help us elect Democrats!

Representative Hubert Vo Team

Over 80 Westside Dems gathered to watch the opening Presidential Debate for 08. The attitude for the evening was set by the Vo Team happily marching in bringing flowers, pizza and birthday cake for Representative Hubert Vo Campaign Manager, Karen Loper. Karen shared her birthday cake with all. Thanks to Howard Williams and his great sound system you could hear every word - you could even hear the splats from the Vo Team paper wads as they hit McCain’s image as he repeated once again “Senator Obama doesn’t understand.” Grant and Lavon Thomas, Steven and Beth Zeffert added to the Chips and Salsa provided by HCDP by bringing a fajita feast to share. One of the biggest hits of the evening was microwave popcorn. Thanks!

Looking forward to have a fun filled evening watching the Vice Presidential Debate this Thursday, Oct 2.  Just remember to BYOC - Bring Your Own Chair.

Dear Fellow Democrats,

Harris County is slowly but surely recovering from Hurricane Ike, and good folks like you have been front and center in helping your fellow residents of Harris County through these tough times. Since it may be a long time before life returns to normal for many, and though politics has — with good reason — been pushed to the back of people’s minds, some of our friends and neighbors might miss one of the most important events of this political season: the first presidential debate this Friday, September 26th.

With the same spirit of community and unity shown by Harris County residents after the storm, the Harris County Democratic Party would like to open our offices and extend an opportunity to everybody, those of us with utilities and those of us without, to come together and watch the first presidential debates with us.

One of our debate-watching gatherings will be at Cotton Exchange, 202 Travis Street, Suite 100, Houston, TX 77002 (map) at 7:00pm this Friday, September 26. There will also be events at our Westside office and our Bay Area office, both starting at 7:00pm.

Make sure you extend this invitation to people you know without power! The last week has been hard for all of us, and we all deserve a break to see what’s happening on the national scene.

Need a break? Come on in to the Crosby office and grab a cold drink, charge your cell phone, check email and kick back in the A/C.

I wanted to take the opportunity to make you aware of a service being organized by Congressman Nick Lampson.  In order to provide assistance to those affected by Hurricane Ike, a mobile congressional office will be opening today, September 18, 2008, at American Legion Post 490 located at 11702 Galveston Rd.(State Hwy 3), Houston, TX 77034 (across from Ellington Field).
