As far as I am concerned we are in a run-off. We will be picking up our signs from the polls and re-using them in thirty days. Until we know exactly what happened today in Webb County, this race is not over.

I wouldn't be here if I hadn't gotten the support of the online community. It's been overwhelming to see how people can make a difference, and make things happen by coming together, even if it an hour of blockwalking, a few phone calls or $20 and $40 dollars at a time. We must have the final word in who our leadership will be, not the special interests, and we must keep up this fight. I want to think the thousands who have given their time and resources to push this campaign forward.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for each and every kind word, dollar bill and one cent.

Dear Friends,

For weeks you have astounded me with your continued genorosity, and tomorrow we will see what the results of our combined efforts will be.

I am fighting hard to win back this district for real Democrats and my campaign is working over-time to make this happen as well. I know many of you have contributed as well, parting with your hard-earned dollars.

Tomorrow is election day, and there is still so much left to accomplish.

I am asking you to make a contribution to my campaign today, via ActBlue, to help us once again. Read More

I want to thank you for your support. In addition to the thousands of individuals like you who have invested in this campaign, we have been joined by national organizations like Democracy for America, MoveOn.org, AFL-CIO and all the major national labor unions, The League of Conservation Voters and NARAL in this fight. Today I write to ask for your support one more time. With your help, we can make the final push as we near Election Day: March 7, 2006!

I am truly humbled by what can only be called a genuine groundswell of support. Contributions have come into this campaign from ordinary men and women all over this country, working and raising families, and contributing $10, $25 and $50 at a time. It reminds me of my early campaigns, when we raised money by throwing a Barbeque, and folks gave $5 or $10 for a plate. These small contributions add up to be a force to be reckoned with, and just like each and every vote is important, so are every one of these valuable donations.

Make a contribution to keep us going strong until Election Day! Read More

Crunch Time in the Texas 28th

As we enter into a 2nd week of early voting here in Texas, I wanted to take the time to share with you some of things that are happening here on the ground. We have just over a week until Election Day, and things are really heating up.

As you know, my opponents' campaign has begun to finally realize that the real Democrats are not going to sit by and watch him coast to an easy victory. They have continued to downplay, and attack, our efforts. His campaign manager even went so far as to disrespect the online community, after this "one day story" has stuck around:

"Ciro and his special interest friends have arrived at the 11th hour...," said Colin Strother, the general consultant to Cuellar's campaign.

What they don't seem to get is that our campaign is not beholden to any special interests but to the hard working men and women of the 28th District.

We may be nearing crunch time, but we are far from satisfied - my campaign is in full swing. Read More

Earlier this month this community rallied behind me and helped push my campaign forward. I am honored to have received your support and this past week, Democracy for America joined us in the fight.

Today we are just 21 Days away from election day and while so much has happened, we have so much more to do.

Your contributions, both via your time and money have been integral to making this happen.

At my headquarters in South San Antonio we have received repeated requests from supporters throughout the country asking what they can do to help. Today, I want to answer that... Read More

I'm overwhelmed by the support that I have received in the last 24 hours from this amazing effort, and I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.

We will continue to work hard everyday to win back this district. We know that the opposition has a great deal of resources. We know he will be able to raise a lot of money. We know that he will be going up on TV next week.

But no amount of money or resources will take away from the fact that he hasn't voted with the working families of South Texas. Read More

People often ask me why I am running for Congress. It's simple, I wanted to continue to do more to work for the people of this district and for the values that I believe are important to hardworking Americans everywhere.

This is a solidly Democratic district. Yet, we have someone in Congress who does not represent the people who live here. In fact, we have someone representing us who doesn't live in the district or keep his Congressional office in the district. We should not have someone in Congress who is consistantly voting on the other side of the aisle! It would be one thing if he was working to enhance Democratic values and morals, but he isn't. He has basically sold out to special interests, big money, Tom DeLay and his Republican pals. Read More
