I'M TOP DEMOCRATIC VOTE RECIPIENT in 10 county area of 4.5 million.

Goals:

Texas intermediate appellate courts have become the cloakrooms for the corporate boardrooms....the incumbent justices are either attorneys from the corporate /insurance defense world of mega-firms or former prosecutors who believe their purpose is filling prisons.

Issues:

justice; experience; establishing a balance between service to the citizenry corporeal (those living and breathing) and the citizenry corporate (the legal fictions).

Grassroots Support:

with your funding and volunteers, a very special
one.

DFA Values:

I recycle? Donate plasma and Blood? don't litter? don't shop at Wal-Mart (against whom I won a $20Million judgment on behalf of an impoverished Hispanic wopman for her false arrest and malicious prosecution)? I live within my means?
