I live in Dallas, since mostly 1969.
I am shocked, angry, appalled by what has happened in Hempstead. Interestingly enough it is on the same damn little hwy where you could find Crawford and Bush back in the day, only closer to Houston.
I am gearing up, starting in the morning at 8am. I am going to start calling every number I can find and I am going to raise hell.
The McKinney Pool Party has nothing on this and with McKinney it only took 24 hours.
I am angry!
I am calling every office I can find in Hempstead to tell them what an embarrassment they are to Texas.
It worked in McKinney, it will work in Hempstead.
Not stopping there. On to every damned politician I can find!
I'll be posting every number I can find and the names of everyone to talk to and with, stay tuned...,....
Angry and ashamed Texan. Damn it all!

(51,907 posts)For now, I need to pop a Bomb Bon and vape a little Afgooey.
Edited to add--a little old-fashioned snail mail wouldn't hurt either. Cut card stock into 4 pieces, 35 cents in postage, and off you go. I have a whole roll that I use for this.

(5,128 posts)It would be LIGHT UP HEMPSTEAD!!
Just like that nice police officer said he was going to do to Sandra if she did not get out of her car!
I can't believe he said "I'm going to light you up!"
WTF!!
Maybe someone here that does Twitter can do it....
