Report from the Battle Front

Here's a report from the recent Howard Dean rally at Pan American University in Edinburg:

The media was there in large crowds to greet our great DNC Chairman, Howard Dean. we got to see and hear him be interviewed by many different reporters and boy does Howard shine. Howard Dean has so much charisma. He is a super-star. The media loved him and were in awe with him but I'm sure their media bosses didn't allow them to be too nice in their newstories about the great Dean.

The crowd was enormous. The auditorium was packed to capacity. The crowd cheered and welcomed each and every speaker. David spoke to the cheering crowd and made lots of new friends in the Valley. Then here comes the man of the hour, the crowd starts cheering, louder and louder, stomping and clapping, waving signs, banners and noise makers and then enters Chairman Dean--it was like a rock concert. He was his usual self full of energy and with lots of positive words for change and for new hope. The crowd loved him. Howard Dean made a lot of Mexicanos like me, proud that he was our leader in the Democratic Party. We have never in our history had a DNC Chairman attend any type of event in the Valley or Rio Grande area. this was a momentous event and Chairman Dean brought lots of smiles to South Texas and to the Mexican-American community. Howard Dean--La Voz De La Gente--The Voice of the People.

We next drove to the luncheon hosted by Howard Dean at a museum banquet hall. The Hidalgo County Democratic Party staff and volunteers did a great job putting the rally and luncheon together. There were a lot of people there from our community who very much support and admire the work Howard Dean is doing for the people. The Mexican-American people from the Valley showed a whole lot of support for Dean in his run for President also--I met lots of Dean supporters. Dean was very well received at the luncheon as well at the University rally also. Dean and his charming self gave a rousing and inspiring speech again with words of hope for a better America.
