       Praise to Les Ledger and his ETJ of Copperas Cove - and many city citizens for the great turnout Saturday afternoon at their press conference with State Representative Anna Mowery of Fort Worth!  There was standing room only with over 50 people in the courtroom.  We all learned a lot, and it was very informative!

       This was a good example for ALL areas to follow:
       1)  Have a good meeting to gather strength -
          20 heads are better than 10.
                           There is strength in numbers!
       2)  Each person call the three closest State Representative and tell them how wrong forced annexation is, and ask them to support State Representative Anna Mowery's bill on annexation reform.
                    THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM EACH OF YOU !!!
       3)  Talk to the city citizens and help them understand that Texans deserve the right to vote on annexation.  You need them on your side for the next council and mayor elections.  Look for and support some candidates with integrity that are on your side.
       4)  Join CAFA - Start now - gather support for our Austin trip in Feb. or Mar. to support and / or speak to State Representative Anna Mowery's committee against forced annexation.  They want to hear your story!  (The TML - Texas Municipal League - will have city employees there to tell them the current bill in effect is just fine and doesn't need to be changed.)  It's up to each of us to help set the record straight.  The cities are getting away with many injustices.  It's up to us to tell it like it is.  
      GIVE THEM GOOD REASONS TO WANT TO CHANGE THE LAW!!!
       5)  There is no area too small - We ALL count!
             We can do it if we work together!
       6)  We want a delegation from each area of Texas to come to our
            
CAFA meeting
             JAN. 15, 2005  at  6:30 P.M.
       Willow Park Church of Christ
  721 Ranch House Road, SW of Fort Worth

             We don't get to meet very often - so take advantage of this. 
             It's on a Sat. so you could come from all around the State.

Keep up the good fight.
