On June 16 & 17, I completed my first event as an Obama fellow. I registered Obama supporters, and registered voters. The people that I talked with were very receptive of President Obama's leadership and were ready to vote to reelect him in November. This is the one of the largest Pride events in the Midwest. and according to the Columbus Dispatch newspaper, more than 230,000 people attended the event.

The Texas Democratic Convention ended today. Great motivational speeches by Sheila Jackson Lee, Gene Green, Al Green and Wendy Davis. In Texas, a Democrat has not held a statewide position since 1994 . Some of the values of our party were stated such as protection of Social Security, Women rights, Health Care Act, and protection of constitutional rights for all Texans. A lot was spoken of about education and the need for a State Board of Education that puts our kids ahead of politics. The school curriculum that is mandated by our SBOE affects the entire nation, because of the sheer number of textbooks purchased in Texas. All 15 seats are up for election this November. Visit the Texas Freedom Network for more information: tfn.org/educate.

I am proud to be a part of the grass roots effort to get the vote out in Ohio to reelect President Obama in November. Your donation will help build my internship fund for my transportation and housing expenses as I relocate from Texas. Donations of $10 or more will be placed in a drawing for a Nike Elite Houston Texans Jersey for Andre Johnson #80.The jersey has a retail value of $299, and is a Men Size 48. Drawing will be held on June 7.
With Congress scheduled to vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act tomorrow (June 5), President Obama talked about why the fight for equal pay is more important than ever
Women still earn just 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. It's worse for African American women and Latinas. Over the course of her career, a woman with a college degree is going to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars less than a man who is doing the same work.
I believe in equal pay for equal work.
