Operation Democracy Spotlight: Fort Worth, TX
Recent Operation Democracy Event: On a cold, wintry night (if you believe that they really have those in Texas) the Ft. Worth crew stood on a well-traveled overpass to speak out against President Bush’s disregard for the constitution and illegal wiretapping program. They read a copy of the Bill of Rights to the crowd and reporters gathered. Local Media Coverage: The group earned great media coverage when they gathered petition signatures outside the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo grounds to highlight the Jack Abramoff/Tom DeLay culture of corruption in Washington DC. Hundreds of thousands of Texans woke up the next morning to read about their event in the Ft.Worth Star-Telegram.

I can pick and choose the events that are most meaningful to me and it makes me feel a little more empowered in a very uncertain world. Some of the folks I've met through MoveOn have become people I very much admire.” – Lana, Ft. Worth Operation Democracy member. |
