All the bonds passed with a 2 to 1 majority!

Thanks for doing your part !!

I haven't seen the demographics reports, but there was a small increase in the number of voters that turned out. Still, far, far less than what we should have seen, even in SW Austin.

It seems that voters all over Austin agreed to pay for school improvement in a big way. This is a very hard committement to make, in a year that has had one tax hike after another, ACC, then the Hospital District, the Toll Roads (a different kind of tax, but a very, very expensive one, just the same), and now we have to weigh in on a Commuter Rail plan from Capital Metro (November ballots).


I hope nobody is ''tired of voting''. It's your duty and if you didn't vote, resolve to do better. We don't ask much in the country and voting is how you send your answers to elected officials. All the letters and personal visits don't count for much, if we can't bring voters to the polls. Circle C Ranch and surrounding neighborhoods have a powerful voting block of highly educated, knowledgeable people, who really need to vote in large blocks, least we lose the attentiong we get from the City, the County, and the Texas government.

Your votes DO count!

Register today, if you haven't already. You still have time to get into the early voting cycle for November, and avoid those long lines. Even though, more and more people are sharing wonderful stories about neighbors they got to visit with, at leangth, while standing in line to vote, even at Kiker!

If you go to church every week, voting shouldn't be any harder than a errand to pick-up a gallon of milk.

Just VOTE !!

and, THANKS for those of you who did and all the volunteers who cheered you on, waving signs on the street corners, maning the phone banks, and just getting out the message!
