WATT is a Progressive? In Re: Solomon Ortiz Jr is a progressive @ DU by Meg
Can You Please Define "Progressive"?



I don't think the Progressive label is applicable just because he uses the airwaves of a Trojan Horse.

Solly is a Democrat and that is it. He has convergent, divergent and alligning ideologies with his father and with many other elected officials. Dont try and undermine Solly with the "progressive" label.

John Kelly wants to take credit for the precinct chairs giving Solly the nod, but everybody knows WATT swung the balance to him. In combination with Solli's attributes and network, it was the written word that reached the precinct chairs. It was the written word that allowed them to become informed and make up their own minds. And it was the written word that provided the security and comfort zone to vote the way they felt was appropriate.

Progressive my a$$.

Solli is a Democrat for positive change. He is much smarter and much more independent than to allow an undermining agenda to gain control.

Anyway, we will not stand by idle and allow it either.

Once elected Solly must remain responsive to his constituents. We will make sure of it.

John, it aint gonna happen and all you are doing is trying to gain notoriety and support for an idealogy many an American Soldier gave his life eradicating. Dont come to South Texas and try to build a party by capitalizing on the division of our Democratic Party. There is a word for Northerners such as this; we call them YANQUIS.

Go back where you came from or better yet become a resident of Cuba or some other commie / socialist country.

Solomon P Ortiz is a Democrat for Positive Change.

“When Corpus Christi state representative Vilma Luna decided to give up her legislative seat in July to take a lobbying job in Austin with Hillco Partners, the Democratic party had every reason to believe that the seat would remain in the party's column.”

Let’s look a little further into this assertion.

Why did Vilma Luna step down?

One answer and the one on the surface would be as stated, “to take a lobbying job in Austin with Hillco Partners”. Vilma cited more family time as her primary reason. It goes much deeper than that Mr. Burka; remember Vilma Luna is their hero. It is not difficult to understand that the Utility of Vilma Luna was wearing thin like the Firestone tires that made Mikal and his Crew rich. He could have eventually got her into something she will be blamed for. As it is common knowledge in South Texas; Mikal Watts is about reversing the “Capelo” legislation. There were two tort reform bills, one originated by doctors (and endorsed by TLR) that capped non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 and another containing an assortment of protections for businesses, supported by TLR.

Wild Horse Desert: Los Kine�os: The Romanticized Version




“There was a terrible drought in South Texas and Northern Mexico. Captain King traveled to the little hamlet of Cruillas in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

“The townspeople were in such dire straits that they sold all of their cattle to him in an attempt to survive the drought. A short distance out of town, slowly driving the cattle north toward Texas, Captain King realized that, in solving an immediate problem for the people of Cruillas, he had simultaneously removed their long-term means of livelihood. He turned his horse back toward the town and made its people a proposition. He would provide them with food, shelter and income if they would move and come to work on his ranch. The townspeople conferred and many of them agreed to move north with Captain King.

“Already expert stockmen and horsemen, these resilient denizens of the rugged Mexican range became known as Los Kinenos - King's people. They and many generations of their heirs would go on to weave a large portion of the historical tapestry of King Ranch. The expert Kineno cowboys now occupy a justifiably legendary place in the annals of the taming of the vast American West. The mystique of the Kinenos is alive and well, and descendants of the original Cruillas residents still live and work on the ranch today - providing a vital link with the past and giving the ranch a key aspect of its unique atmosphere.”

The vastness of the huge ranch on which he lived seems to have given him a wish to know more about the world. He would later turn his attention to being an educator. A definition of an educator is: to demonstrate a commitment to creating new knowledge, to applying knowledge to solving problems to synthesize various strands of knowledge, and to understanding how students learn.
