STOP THE HEFLIN HEIST IN HOUSTON!
The effort to steal the House District 149 race in southwest Houston continues.
On election night, first-time candidate Hubert Vo, the Democrat, had outpolled 22-year veteran Talmadge Heflin, the powerful Republican of the Texas House Appropriations Committee. When voters went to bed on election night, Vo was 110 votes ahead.
When they awoke Wednesday morning, that margin had been reduced to 52 votes. And later on Wednesday afternoon, it was reduced still further to 38, where it stands now.

Hubert Vo won a stunning upset on Tuesday in his rookie race for State Representative, toppling Talmadge Heflin, the 22-year veteran and most powerful member of the Texas Legislature.
Hubert Vo came here 30 years ago from Vietnam because he had faith in our democratic system.
But now Heflin has brought in Austin outsiders to try to steal it back!
- Tom DeLay's lawyer Andy Taylor, who helped engineer the mid-decade congressional redisctricting power grab last year and is defending DeLay's co-conspirators in the ongoing criminal grand jury investigation in Travis Co.
- Republican Harris Co. Clerk Beverly Kaufman, who has repeatedly been criticized for Katherine Harris-like partisanship in her handling of elections
- Chief elections administrator David Beirne, who became infamous in South Florida four years ago for helping engineer vote tampering there in the presidential race.
- House Speaker Tom Craddick, whose leadership position may depend on stealing the election for his appointee Heflin.
They counted 40,000 mail-in ballots in Harris County on Election Day. But it has taken them all week to count another 3,000 ballots that suddenly materialized overnight.
Don't let the mini-Miami in Houston turn into a full-blown Florida! Call or email these partisan officials today and tell them to stop trying to steal this vote!
