Kinky Campaigns In Fort Worth

Kinky Friedman brought his campaign for governor of Texas to Fort Worth yesterday. A little after noon, Kinky met with supporters at the Tarrant County Elections Center on Premier Street. Kinky talked with supporters and the media about the arrogant way Perry and Bell have been trying to make this a two-way race by ignoring the other candidates.

Kinky said, "You talk about sending a message to America, this is going to be a great one. We are tired of the corruption and the arrogance of the two-party system. They think those votes belong to them, and they don't."

Kinky also said he would win the governor's race with young and new voters. He pointed to the sharp rise in the number of early voters as proof that his strategy may be working.

Today, Kinky will meet with supporters outside Dallas City Hall at 9:00am, then he will be off to Amarillo to meet with voters at the Potter County courthouse about 1:00pm. At 5;15pm, Kinky will be at the Lubbock County Elections Office. After the polls close, Kinky will attend a campaign rally and music festival at the Canyon Amphitheater at the Lone Star Events Center.



INFORMATION ALERT -- For those of you who don't wish to vote on the paperless electronic voting machines [and all early voters must use these machines], election officials have assured me that on November 7th all local precincts will have the machine-countable paper ballots that Tarrant County has been using for years. So, if you're like me, and don't trust the electronic machines or the Republicans in charge, then you'll have to wait for November 7th to vote.
