Are You Keeping Up With Congress This Summer?

There are two big hearings going on right now on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

n Confirmation Hearings for Supreme Court Nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor
n Mark up sessions for the Health Care Legislation

Both of these events will give you an insight into how it works on Capitol Hill. See who asks what questions, who is interested in substance, and who likes to twist what is being said. You'll get a better view of the facts if you hear them first hand.

Stay out of the heat and keep up with what is going on.

Tomato Fest Report | June 25th Club Meeting

Cherokee County Democrats had a good time at the Tomato Fest on Saturday in Downtown Jacksonville. Lots of people came back the booth and picked up one of our special fans. The fans listed the Democratic Office Holders in Cherokee County. Lots of well wishers and thumbs up.

Bill White had a booth at the event also. He dropped by during his swing through East Texas . Mr. White is looking to run for the Senate when Kay Bailey Hutchinson vacates her seat to run for Governor.

Plans are under way for the next club meeting on June 25 in New Summerfield. Chuck Hopson will be our speaker. So put that on your calendar now. Join us for Summer fun and let's learn about what happened in the last legislative session and see what's on the agenda for a called special session expected in July.
