Hey Texas! I was just stopping by...

[funkybutt]

because I was so impressed with the Halliburton Protests yesterday and I wanted to see what y'all were saying about it. Once I got here, I discovered that this state forum is really hoppin compared to ours (Louisiana).

I've read a bunch of the posts here and I'm really impressed. Think I'll add this to my forums.

Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say "Hi". Y'all are doing some great work over there.

Here's something I've been working on --> http://www.beaucoupblues.com

2. Hi, right back

Please pass on the information about the Halliburton protest, the cops did nothing but lie about it to the newspapers and TV.



The cops had press conference afterward but they only allowed reporters that police approved, couldn't have any reporter asking question about police violence could we.



So many things happened there that were so wrong.


The nonsense about a horse being hit is lie, what happen was that one of the mounted nazi's in blue charged into the crowd on the sidewalk and his horse steped on a woman's foot. The cop would not back his horse off the woman's foot, everyone was yelling but he just set and look straight ahead. Finally the woman was in so much pain, people near by had the push on the horse to get the horse off this woman's foot.

This was one of many lies that the cops told, but that is what cops do.

So please pass on this link so the truth will come out:

I have a good friend in western Louisiana. A trip to her house is like a trip to a different, wonderful world of shrimp, bacon and rice.

Only 5 states (NY, PA, IL, CA, FL) have more.

Oh, and did I mention we've learned to be combative and outspoken?

I've had your forum on my list since the Jazz Funeral, and I peek in now and then to see what's up. Welcome to Texas!

13. Speaking of the Jazz Funeral

We've got another event planned for June 18 that should be pretty great. It's put on by many of the Jazz Funeral participants and it's going to be called Summer SOULstice. If any of you texans can attend, I guarantee we will not dissappoint!

There will be more specific details of the event released to the public within the week. :D
