Boerne Activism

It's exploding. Ya gotta love it!

Within a month of its creation, Boerne Together is having 150-person meetings, getting the city council to order a new master plan written, and making San Antonio television. Suddenly, BT is a real player in the decision-making process in Boerne. What remains to be seen is precisely what their plan will be, and if they can keep their momentum going. But I applaud their passion and their willingness to step up and be heard.

We Kendall County Democrats, at a time when we could still be reeling from the November election, when we might be licking our wounds and wondering when we'll fully get back in the race, instead are creating blogs to keep the information flow up. We're writing letters to state representatives (and getting responses). We're inviting distinguished speakers so that we can learn more about our world (see the post about Sarwat Husain below).

Republicans aren't the enemy--they're just misinformed. The enemy is inertia. And it seems to me that we've got inertia on the run. Even right here in Boerne.
