"I think that democracy is at stake" -- words from a Texas patriot!!
Advertisements [?]
"I think that democracy is at stake," said the 62-year-old DA Ronnie Earle, who has been D.A. since 1977.

"The issue is whether large corporate interests can buy more democracy. If large monied interests can control elections, then the principle of `one person, one vote' is meaningless."

So, my fellow election fraud-busters, reformists and advocates, take heart; DA Earle certainly "Believes"!!

Be proud and give DA Earle a call and offer your support!

Texas DA Takes on Delay in Campaign Probe

Published: January 26, 2005

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- After years of going after some of the biggest names in Texas politics, District Attorney Ronnie Earle reckoned 2004 would be the year he would retire.

Then Earle found himself in charge of a campaign-finance investigation that has set off tremors from Austin to Washington. Calling it the most important investigation of his nearly 30-year career as D.A., the Democrat decided to stay on, and got himself re-elected in November to another four-year term. That, of course, may have set off even more tremors.
