In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, as progressive blogosphere favorite Ciro Rodriguez went down to defeat against Henry Cuellar (DINO-TX-28), Chris Bowers at liberal supersite MyDD suddenly recognized a fairly important feature of the Texas Democratic primaries:

Heard this morning that some outfit named Texans for Insurance Reform has bought TV time, probably to slam Ciro in San Antonio and drive down turnout.
This is turning into a real grudge match. We need to win this one!!! Scrape up what you can and give more to Ciro and the orgs fighting on his behalf. Only 10 days to send this message!

I'm sure you all are well aware now that Rep. Cueller is being challenged by Ciro Rodriguez in the primary for the TX-28 seat in '06 in which the Republicans are not even putting forth a candidate.
What is new is that, bluelatinos.org has created a petition to tell Cueller to withdraw his support of an absolutley scandalous right-wing bill that he sponsered. This bill would give $100 Million to the Minutemen. An extreme right-wing vigilante group 'patroling' the border with Mexico.
I encourage everyone to go to www.bluelatinos.org/cueller and sign the petition to show opposition to Rep. Cueller's draconian ideals.
