Linda Curtis, Independent Texans reaches out on The Corridor Toll moratorium

Dear Friends & Members:
The Corridor/Toll moratorium has passed the Senate. We are waiting and watching to see the next steps before it hits the Governor's desk. Sit tight, and follow CorridorWatch.org's instructions. If you're not on their list, please join at CorridorWatch.org.
Meanwhile, read the press release below about the Battle for North Texas. We can use your help, no matter where you live, in making a few phone calls, or by coming to Dallas on election day, Saturday, May 12 (or the Saturday prior, 5th), where we will be pulling votes for our candidates and gathering signatures for a referendum on the ridiculous 6 lane high speed developer special interest driven toll road planned (after the fact), through the planned Trinity River Park! Call me or send me a note a ljcurtis@indytexans.org to join the reform army to take back Texas. Please forward this message! Linda Curtis, Independent Texans (contact info below).
For Immediate Release April 20, 2007
Independents Endorse in Key Metroplex Mayoral and City Council Races
Independent Texans, the only organization in Texas representing approximately 4 million voters who identify as independent, announced endorsements in several key metroplex races, including the hotly contested Dallas Mayor’s race. The Dallas endorsements hinged on candidate’s support for a referendum giving voters the right to vote on the Trinity River Park toll road. All candidates agreed that a two year moratorium on the privatized toll road and Trans-Texas Corridor plans of Gov. Rick Perry. Independent Texans is supporting Sam Coats for Dallas Mayor, Justin Rosales for Dallas City Council, Place 2, Joe Tave for Dallas City Council, Place 3, Jerry Pikulinski for Arlington Mayor, and “Landslide” Clyde Picth, for Ft. Worth City Council, Place 6.
Linda Curtis, founder of Independent Texans said, “These candidates demonstrated, not simply in words but in their actions, their willingness to stand up for the voters and to stand up to special interests who are trying to pull bait and switch deals like putting a 6 lane, high speed toll road through the middle of a park. What’s more, all those we’ve endorsed support the moratorium on Rick Perry’s privatized toll roads and the massive Trans-Texas Corridor, without exception. We are now mobilizing citizens across the state to get involved in the Battle for North Texas."
Julia Soto Cabrera, a member of Independent Texans who ran the DFW Hispanic outreach effort for the Tony Sanchez campaign said, “The time for a Democratic and independent alliance against the special interests is now here! That gives us the power we need for the people stop the excessive taking of our land and public dollars.”
Jeff Harper, a founder of Independent Texans in Tarrant County, and small businessman in Ft. Worth, said, "We are independents with a small 'i'. Therefore, we can endorse iconoclasts like Clyde Picth for Ft. Worth City Council (Dist. 6) and independent-minded Republicans like Jerry Pikulinski for Arlington Mayor. They both are watching out for the little guys and gals -- not to mention our pocketbooks."
