A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?


In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

 
I say we fight back.  Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

Your Urgent Assignment: Get Rick Noriega Endorsed by DFA

« H E Boadicea :: email
posted Saturday, 3 November 2007
A little over a month ago, Democracy for Texas members enthusiastically endorsed Rick Noriega for the Texas Senate race.

Rick Noriega now has a chance to be endorsed by the national organization-Democracy for America.

Cornyn's anemic numbers and truly abysmal performance put this race on the national radar to start with. (Bush and Cheney are helping as well.)

If you are already sold, please pop over to DFA and lend your endorsement.

If you want a little more motivation, follow me  across the flip to see a message from Team Noriega. (That includes YOU!) 

Yesterday we wrote to tell you that Democracy for America (DFA), one of the largest grassroots, membership organizations in the country, has promised to officially back Rick if we can collect thousands of signatures on a petition hosted on DFA's website.

We're close but we need your immediate help in order to reach that goal before midnight!

Clicking the link and signing DFA's petition will send a huge message to people all across America about how Texans are ready for a new U.S. Senator. Earning the endorsement of this national progressive grassroots organization is important to our campaign. Please take action before midnight tonight and sign DFA's petition.

More voters, elected officials, and organizations have been pledging to vote for Rick every day.

Let's add Democracy for America to the growing list.

Sincerely,
Team Noriega

P.S. Forward this message to your friends and encourage them to join us in defeating Cornyn!
