John Courage of TX wins the DFA Grassroots All-Star contest.

"We have the power to elect new leadership in this country.

We've proven over and over again that when we make a race competitive -- no matter the district -- we can win. But the only way to make every race and every district competitive is with your support.

Two weeks ago, we asked DFA members to kick-off the campaign to take back Congress by voting in our Grassroots All-Star competition. Tens of thousands of DFA members voted for candidates from every corner of the country. After tallying the votes, we're excited to announce the first DFA Grassroots All Star: John Courage, from San Antonio, Texas.

Who is John Courage? A Texan tired of no-solution, self-dealing, all-hat-and-no-cattle Republican misrule. Like us, he's ready for change. So he's doing something about it: Running for Congress.

John is running in a tough district. How does he win? With the support of thousands of Americans like you. Your donation of $10 or $25 today will not only put Courage on the map, but it will lay the groundwork for victory in 2006.

John's commitment to service runs deep. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1971 and served four years in our nation's military. Since then, he's made his home in San Antonio, and taken up one of the key callings in American life: teaching our children in the classrooms of our public schools. In Congress, John will use his experience to improve schools and make positive change in our children's lives.

1. I am looking forward to having John Courage as my congressman

It's going to be a tough campaign to oust Tom DeLay's bootlicker Lamar Smith but I am confident that John knows what it will take to win and is already building the organization he needs. The DFA endorsement is a boost to us all.
