I am sure you all saw the invite for Mary Gonzalez's Townhall meeting.
Leaving aside the fact her staff - cough, Roger Garza, cough - basically used Google Translator for the Spanish text of her invite, the more shocking thing is the time and date: FRIDAY, January 25th, 530-730PM.
There is a reason why Mary is having her townhall at this time. She wants nothing but friends of hers - cough, Alexis Reza, cough - to show up. She knows her constituents would not want to spend their Friday evening in some drab room at EPCC. If Mary gave a rat's ass about reaching out to her constituents and being more accessible to them, she would have held this on a SATURDAY MORNING. But she's a pansexual, and will be too busy spooning Saturday morning with whatever she found later after her townhall.
Back to her invite....
Before I forget, on her ad...err..invite she has an Official State of Texas seal, but also a political ad disclaimer.
I almost sure you are not allowed to use official seals on political ads. But maybe Roger Garza and Alexis Reza looked into this.
Maybe you should learn your facts before criticizing someone with a PHD.

The fact is that Mary Gonzalez is a passionate, disciplined, and brilliant servant of the people. She is the EXACT kind of leadership that the El Paso delegation needs, but perhaps people like you don't deserve her.
Your criticisms, bound as they are in sexism, racism, and heteronormativity are baseless. Mary sacrificed what was certain to be a fantastic career, given her education and intelligence. She gave it up to serve the people of El Paso. And you criticize her for it? Shame on you.

The Pansexual had to give up a an entire career to go have drinks and party in Austin for 140 days every other year? Most legislator's membership to the Texas House is boon for their career. How did she manage to fuck that up?
The big question on voter's minds - who, or what, is she banging tonight?

The People's Work doesn't stop just because the Legislature is not in session. She IS and WILL CONTINUE to work hard to serve El Paso, even as miserable people like you and Max try to bring her down. Your sexist jokes only serve to demonstrate yours and Max's complete jealousy and fear of a successful woman.

Sigh...Sometimes I think that El Paso does not deserve State Representative Mary Gonzalez.
