Jesse Jackson Jr Addresses the Black El Paso Democrats

In an inspirational speech that brought the crowd to its feet, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr sent a message to El Paso Democrats. Don't sleep through a revolution.

Honestly I don't think I could begin to do justice to the Congressman's message, so you can hear it in the recording below.

Quite simply, it was powerful.



There were several candidates, and rumored candidates, in attendance. The place was packed and the turnout might have been the largest ever for the organization.

Awards were handed out to many community activists for their service. I thank the Black El Paso Democrats for honoring me with an award.

Dr. Michiel Noe and his opponent Maria "Mayela" Mejia were both in attendance. They are candidates for City Rep District 5.

Also in attendance was Republican Charlie Garza. I guess he goes to all the events now, though he didn't have the pomp and circumstance of his investiture ceremony. There were no children walking behind him holding the train of his cape and he must have his crown in the shop for repairs because he wasn't wearing it. :-)
