4. After today's incident where an elderly Democratic woman

was assaulted by a rethug (www.brazosriver.com for more info), please pack the house and tell Juanita/Susan that I sent you!

5. Tom DeLay's thugs

Remember it was DeLay who sent paid thugs to Florida to stop the recount in 2000. Looks like his crew is up to no good once again. Please tell me this makes the MSM in Houston. They have to be exposed for the criminals that they are.

6. At lunchtime they showed the counter protest, but no mention

of the injury. I missed the 5pm news. Juanita was thrilled it did make the TPM. Not one mention of the assault on the local news web sites. They just suck.

7. It's on the front page of DailyKos too

Juanita's story is viral - spreading like wildfire. She's the original source.

9. I've been exchanging emails with Juanita all day

She's getting over 100 an hour from all over the country. She's thrilled to have made Talking Points Memo too and loves DU.

8. Here's the Houston Chronicle story

Houston Chronicle story 4/06
Lampson event disrupted by DeLay supporters

SUGAR LAND — U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay's campaign staff invited supporters to disrupt a news conference today by the Democrat vying for his seat, turning it into a shouting, finger-pointing shoving match.

The disruption by more than two dozen DeLay supporters drowned out Nick Lampson's message. Delay's staff indicated such displays would continue through the November election.

"Let's give Lampson a parting shot that wrecks his press conference," read a mass e-mail to supporters by DeLay campaign manager Chris Homan.

Thugs and bullies.

10. Thank you, Guys.

I'm taking my first breather all day. I don't post here much because the little ole website is about all I can handle. I just appreciate all of your support and wanted to say so.

If you come to the Headquarters opening on Saturday, ask anybody in a Fort Bend Democrats demin shirt where I am. I will gladly give you a DUMP DELAY button free of charge.

Thanks again, West Houston Dem for making my day!

Susan (aka Juanita)

11. Rats!

I forgot the most important thing. I just talked to Marsha (the 70 year old retired CPS caseworker who got whacked in the face by a DeLay supporter --- do these people have some hang-up about hitting faces?). Other than a little soreness, she's doing okay. I'll try to keep y'all updated on her. She will be there Saturday, too, and you can shake her hand.

12. I WILL BE THERE!!!!!

I hope others from DU will come and join us! It will be fun. PM me if you need directions.

Once you find our Fort Bend headquarters, don't be a stranger! We block walk out of there every Sunday. Training at 2 pm and blockwalking at 3 pm, including this Sunday!

Lampson's Fort Bend field manager is terrific. You'll want to meet him, talk to Nick, Chris Bell, Barbara Radnofsky and others!

[WestHoustonDem]

13. My pleasure Brazosboomer - you put a smile on my

face daily. I'll be in touch next week for a full report on the grand opening. I wish I could be there! :yourock:

[muse]

17. Sounds like I need to take my camera

You never know what might happen!

18. Welcome home Susan

Missed you in here, but we kept up with you through your World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon. You know Brazosboomer, you contributed to DeLay's downfall. And now you're making sure he won't be crawling out of that hole he keeps digging for himself. Keep tossing him some more bags of dirt!

21. I'd love to see those thugs keep it up.

"Delay's staff indicated such displays would continue through the November election."

Even former voters for DeLay are sick of him and just want him and any reminder of him to go away. If those hecklers keep showing up, it'll drive more voters Lampson's way. They're like the last spasms of a dying cockroach after its head's been cut off.

14. It hit the Chronicle website as soon as it happened

I saw it there at work today. I had a headsup that the press conference was going to happen this morning, so I casually went to the Chronicle website hoping for some news coverage. When I saw all of the commotion, I couldn't believe it.

YUK!! Those DeLay supporters need to give up, roll over and play dead. Or, just die. Even better.

[muse]

15. I absolutely cannot believed he touched her!

Good grief! I would have gone apeshit. Ballistic.

Honest to God, if any of those DeLay people ever do that to me at a Lampson event, there is going to be a lot more trouble than what you saw here.

That man that pulled her hat down over her face should have charges filed against him.

16. Juanita's (Susan's) son Bryan took the photos. Here is his blog:

He's a tireless Lampson volunteer. When Nick wins in November, Bryan will be able to say he had a whole lot to do with turning out the vote in Fort Bend County.

19. Good for Bryan!

Nick will win in November. I know he will. Look at how calm and collected he appears in all those photos. That's class. You know if bugboy was surrounded by liberal democrats he'd go bat-shit crazy. I picture his head exploding ala "Scanner".

I saw this over at the Fort Bend Democrats blog site:

20. Kicking it for Saturday

Make sure you take your cameras and video recorders. You never know what kind of deranged DeLay element might show up.

22. Please come out tomorrow!

I'll be there!

Other DU-ers will be there!

You don't want to miss this. We want to show our support for Nick Lampson and show everyone, everywhere how serious we are about taking TX-22! Lots of people will be watching this after what happened on Thursday at Lampson's press conference, so come out if at all possible!
