Volume 26. Issue 11. November 2024 | |
Well, it's been five days now since the election. And I don't feel any better. Like you, I am shocked, devastated, and horrified. Steve Schmidt said it best: "A battle has been lost in a great cause that has broken many hearts, deeply disillusioned others, and shattered the perception of America all over the world."
I know I have talked about this before but here we are again - going through the stages of grief after this crushing loss.
First there was the denial. When I got up on Wednesday morning and saw the news, I thought it couldn't possibly be true. No way. I'm just having a bad dream and haven't waked up yet. But then I was angry - angry at everything and everybody that I know voted for him. Angry at a system that suppresses voters, that lies and sows misinformation, that marginalizes groups of people and creates conflict and division. Angry at myself because maybe I could have done more...maybe if I had knocked on more doors, made more phone calls, written more postcards, made more contact with potential voters...the list goes on. All that feeds into the bargaining stage of grief, although at this point, there is truly no bargaining for a different outcome.
And so I sink into depression. A depression that is pervasive, profound, and paralyzing. Hopefully that depression is temporary but it will take time to recover and feel a fragment of hope and optimism.
The final stage of grief is acceptance. It is what it is. They won. We lost. But that doesn't mean we have to like it nor does it mean that we can't rise up. The way to move on from grieving is to get through it - not to get stuck in it.
The way I see it, we have three choices now. 1) We can find a really big rock to live under for the next four years. Lick our wounds and retreat. 2) We could find another place to live, leave the country, start over and never look back. Or 3) we can slowly recover, regroup, and rise up.
I don't want to hear any more pundits or people pointing fingers, finding blame for the losses, listing reasons as to what went wrong, making accusations. I don't think that it was any of the popular reasons...that the campaign didn't have enough time...that the Democratic message wasn't heard...that Harris was a Black woman...that Democrats didn't connect with people. I don't think it's any one thing or anyone's fault in particular. My assessment is that our message was heard...and ignored. That we did connect with people but they chose to ignore us. The bottom line: they don't want what we want, plain and simple. It's not that we have a difference in politics. We have a difference in morality.
I look back and realize that collectively, we Democrats did great work. I’m incredibly proud of the things we’ve accomplished over the past year. We put our hearts and souls into countless hours of outreach. We walked miles and talked endlessly to potential voters. We strategized, organized, and energized our Democratic community. And we raised a ton of money to support candidates and our causes. I'm so proud of what we did. We cannot overlook or minimize our efforts nor should we dwell on the "what ifs".
Journalist Ben Samuels recently quoted the philosopher Daniel Simpson Day, “Don’t get mad; get even” and went on to say that "if you’re worried about the future, find ways to get involved. Figure out the causes you care about and engage. Feel bad now, and then look ahead towards the future."
I know that we are all deeply concerned about the challenges women, LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, and other communities will face in the next administration. We just have to remain steadfast in our commitment to advocating for these communities and for our democracy.
This is a good time to read some words of wisdom from Senator Tim Kaine: " We stand up for democracy and equality. We stand up for economic opportunity. We stand up for guarding the rights of all. Most importantly, we stand up for each other. In this election, the people of Virginia have made clear that we are not mean-spirited, pessimistic, name-calling complainers — that we are indeed stand-up, can-do, get-the-job-done people. Over the next four years, we will face challenges as a country, and we will meet them the same way we have for centuries: together."
As we look ahead to the future, I am strengthened by our community, the energy, enthusiasm, and perseverance that we Democrats embody. Final words from Steve Schmidt: "Donald Trump is every bit as dangerous as we have been warned. What we have been warned about will largely happen, and it will be terrible, but it need not be permanent. Remember that. Fight on. Hang tough."

NOVEMBER BAD MEETING
Thursday, November 14, 2024
12:00 p.m.
Longhorn Cafe, 369 S. Esser, Boerne (upstairs)
Guest Speaker:
TEXAS HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE
TREY MARTINEZ FISCHER
representing District 116
| |
Trey Martinez Fischer is currently serving in the Texas House of Representatives District 116. He was first elected to the Texas House in 2000 and in his very first term in the House, he was voted “Freshman of the Year” by both his Republican and Democratic colleagues.
Through his 10 terms in the House, Trey has earned a reputation as a passionate voice for people who have none and is known as a leader who won’t back down from his convictions. His legislative skills in standing up for children, veterans, and the disabled over special interests have become legendary.
Trey’s contributions to Texans have been undeniable. When Republicans slashed billions from school funding, it was Trey who stood up to them and got funding restored, becoming a major player in the negotiations that saw $3.9 billion returned to our public schools.
Most recently, he was appointed to Chair the powerful House Committee on Business & Industry. With this position and a coveted position on House Ways & Means, the taxation committee of the House, Trey is in a better position than ever to bring real, substantive change to Texas.
Trey is the recipient of numerous recognitions for his ability – Texas Monthly named him “The Bull of the Brazos” in 2011 for his relentless efforts to stop the disastrous Republican agenda. Trey’s also been named one of the “10 Best Legislators” in Texas multiple times by Texas Monthly, a “heavy hitter… focused on shooting down the Republicans’ agenda” by the New York Times, one of the “20 Latino Democrats to watch over the next 20 years” by Hearst Newspapers, and a “Texas Influencer” by Campaigns & Elections Magazine.

Note: no December BAD meeting. Holiday Party instead! | |
LAURA BRAY
Kendall County Democratic Party Chair
NOTES FROM THE CHAIR
I have no words.
As you read this, I am sitting along the coast, counting on the sea air, the birds, and the rolling waves for restoration. We all need to get to some level of acceptance and "OK, what's next?" But personally, I can tell you I'm not there yet.
I'm hopeful that next week, Jay and Chrissy Kleberg (with their "Chasing the Tide" documentary screening on Wednesday) and Rep. Trey Martinez Fisher (next week's BAD speaker) will have some encouraging words. As a leader of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, Rep. Martinez Fisher is a veteran of many hard-fought battles. He has been knocked down several times, and he keeps getting right back up again to keep fighting for our state and our public schools. There's no one better to help us through these dark times, so I hope you can attend on Thursday.
With you in sadness.
| | |
If you missed our October 10 BAD meeting, you missed an interesting turn of events. Our guest speaker, Herb Krasner, was about 10 minutes into his presentation on school vouchers when the fire alarm went off in the restaurant.
| |
We had to evacuate the building, so we tried to carry on the meeting outside (in the 90 degree heat). After waiting for over a half-hour, we gave up and adjourned the meeting, just as the fire department arrived. Fortunately, the problem was just faulty wiring - not a fire!
| |
BAD will be electing new officers to serve in 2025. Paid members will receive a ballot with the proposed slate of officers via Survey Monkey next week.
Watch your email!
| |
Make plans to attend the screening of Chasing the Tide, a documentary about Jay and Chrissy Kleberg's 360-mile trek along the coast of Texas! You may remember Jay from when he visited our BAD meeting in 2022 when he was running for Texas Land Commissioner. He will be at the screening to talk with us about their experience!
This screening will be held at the Patrick Heath Public Library on Wednesday, November 13, at 7:00 p.m. Drinks, sandwiches, sides, sweets and popcorn will be provided! We will also be giving away a gift basket as a door prize!!! So join us for this exciting preview! Please RSVP so that we can get an accurate head count for the refreshments.

Volume 26. Issue 9. September 2024 | |
Wow, the enthusiasm continues! There is joy in the air! What a relief to finally feel hope instead of dread. What a great feeling to be optimistic instead of cynical. It feels good to be a part of a political party that values common sense over nonsense and inclusion over retribution. We are united in our spirit of hope!
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz exemplify our values. They show true leadership and character, unlike the opposition. What a contrast! Our candidates, coupled with the incredible, inspiring, confidence-instilling Democratic National Convention, have given us a renewed sense of purpose to work for the promise of a better tomorrow.
However, we still have work to do. Recently I read this by Ezra Levin, cofounder of Indivisible: "This is not a party that is unified on all issues -- it’s a big tent party with some reasonable disagreements -- but it is deeply unified in its purpose. The vibes are so good, in fact, that there’s almost a sense of historic inevitability. But we all have to fight that feeling. Nothing about this is naturally inevitable -- it’s our work that will make it so."
There are still 58 days until the election. We have work to do. Everyone must step up and DO SOMETHING. And there's plenty to be done. You can write postcards. You can make phone calls. You can talk to your neighbors, friends, and family. You can block-walk and knock on doors. Some of these things are easy and some are hard - but they need to be done - and they can make the difference between winning and losing. We don't want to be on the losing side ever again, so please - step up and volunteer to do something!
As Tim Walz has said, we can sleep when we're dead. Now it the time to give it all we've got for a better tomorrow for everyone! Remember - when we fight, we win!

NEXT BAD MEETING:

"What You Should Know About School Vouchers"
| |
LAURA BRAY
Kendall County Democratic Party Chair
Before you read my Convention report below:
Many of you shared that you watched the Convention and were completely energized.
GREAT!
Now what’s ONE THING MORE you can sign up to do to help???
If you need ideas, email me at chair@kendalltxdemocrats.org
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life! By my count, I heard speeches from:
· Three Presidents (favorite speech: Barack Obama)
· One Vice President (favorite speech: Kamala Harris)
· Four First Ladies/Second Gentleman (favorite speech: Michelle Obama)
· Five sitting or former Cabinet Secretaries (favorite speech: Pete Buttigieg)
· Eleven Governors (favorite speech: Andy Beshear)
· Eighteen US Senators (favorite speech: Elizabeth Warren)
· 27 US Representatives (favorite speech: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)
among countless others. Visit the DNC’s YouTube channel to have another look at the speeches.
And saw performances by (among other, lesser-known performers):
· Stevie Wonder
· Patti LaBelle
· John Legend and Sheila E
· Pink
· The Chicks
My sister saw me on CNN that first night (see photo below), but other than that, I didn’t “pop up” anywhere else in the national coverage, as far as I know. Not hardly surprising, given that there were 10K people on/near the floor.
Tuesday night’s Roll Call of the States was surprisingly entertaining. I’ve reported before that, due to some screwy filing deadlines in Ohio, the DNC held a Virtual Roll Call about ten days prior to the Convention to officially nominate VP Harris. So the Tuesday night Roll Call was purely ceremonial. DJ Griffith kept the energy going as the DNC Secretary called on each state/territory to report its vote. When a state was called, its seating area was illuminated (a masterwork of lighting logistics), and the designated speaker appeared on the JumboTron (and your TV screens). Georgia “won” the “Best Roll Call Announcement” when they rolled out rapper Lil Jon to introduce their segment. Texas’s announcement focused on the state’s strict abortion ban and featured Eva Longoria, former Planned Parenthood Chair Cecile Richards, and Kate Cox, the woman who had to flee the state to get a life-saving abortion. TDP Chair Gilberto Hinojosa then announced the Texas vote (rather ungraciously, I might add).
The days were long (credential pick-up every day at 6am at the Texas hotel, and evening speeches weren’t over until 11pm). But the energy every evening at the United Center was completely electric. Security was tight, and despite some protestors, everything proceeded mostly without incident. (Some logistical problems notwithstanding.)
I met some amazing folks from around the state and around the world. (US territories abroad had delegations, and I traded a pin with Angelo (pictured below) from the Northern Marianas!)
When I walked into the arena that first night, I stopped and did two things: 1) Told my Mom, “Look Mom, I made it!” and 2) felt your presence behind and around me, and wrapped myself up in it. You were *absolutely* there with me in spirit. It was truly my honor to represent you on the national level.
Let’s go WIN THIS in November!

Our new Democratic billboard is up along IH-10 just south of Comfort!
This sign will be displayed until Election Day.
We need to raise $3,000 to fund this sign.
This sign is an important tool in our "Get Out the Vote" efforts. We want folks in Kendall to know that there are Democratic candidates on the ticket - the only candidates who will save our Democracy.
Any funds raised above the $3K goal will fund more Get Out the Vote efforts to make sure every Kendall Democrat gets to the polls this November.
Can you help us cross the finish line?
