Raymondville and Hutto walks. Oct 26-30


If you can, please join us for the Texas Super Weekend.

Grass roots from the Valley, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, from
other parts of the State, including the nucleus of Williamson county
residents will be taking part in these two walks.

Raymondville Walk II and Hutto Walk III. October 26-27 and
October 28-30 respectively. Please feel free to share this invitation
with others.

It will take "we the people" to cause a chain reaction of moral and
humane change in our state and country. There is no moral leadership at
the "top". And the moral bankruptcy is manifest all the way down the
political heap to the local county commissions. Moral leadership must
come from the grassroots and work its way up. It will take our
individual and collective passion and reasoning to infuse courage into
the elected officials to do the right thing.

Thanks to MapQuest...below are detailed and precise directions for
Raymondville Walk II and Hutto Walk III.

consider wearing a good broad brimmed hat, comfortable walking or
athletic shoes, and plenty of fluids. We will have a support vehicle
