Tejano Dems Chair Laying Down the Law
Kudos to Rebecca Robledo, Chair of the Tejano Democrats. She sent out the email below to membership and word on the street says that Blanche Darley is not too happy about it. Darley is known for sending emails out to Tejano membership on a variety of issues that may or may not be the official position of the Tejano Democrats. Most recently she sent out an email supporting the recall of the Mayor, Susie Byrd and Steve Ortega, despite the fact that gay rights and equality are part of the national platform of the Democratic Party.
There was some whispers last month that Darley had resigned as treasurer of the Tejano Democrats and that there was an effort to find an interim replacement until elections that will be held later this month.
And speaking of elections, apparently Darley is so upset about this email, that she is allegedly actively seeking an opponent for Robledo. Darley is also seeking re-election as treasurer of the organization. Darley has been an officer with the Tejano Democrats in some capacity for many years.
Here is the email sent out by Chairwoman Robledo:
Dear Members,
Hope you all are doing well. Please be advised that I will now be emailing you directly from this official Tejano Democrats Paso Del Norte email address. You should not be receiving any emails from anybody else. If you do, please be advised that it has not been authorized by me nor will it be considered on behalf of Tejano Democrats Paso Del Norte. Please pay careful attention to the email address tejanopdn@hotmail.com as it does not have any extra letters or numbers before, in the middle or at the end of our name just in case you receive an email that has not been authorized. I know that Don Williams sends you lots of useful information and I will not clog your emails by sending the same information. By the same token, should you have any questions or comments regarding Tejano Democrats Paso Del Norte business, please feel free to send them to this email address.
A reminder that today is the deadline to submit your letter of intent to run for an officer position in order to be placed on the ballot. NO resumes are required! Please send your letter by email to this address or if you need to make other arrangements, please call me and I will be more than happy to accommodate you.
The election of officers will take place at our next monthly meeting September 27, 2011 @ 6:00pm at Su Casa, 2030 E. Yandell, so please be prompt.
Take Care and God Bless You All!
