Dollar Bill White
Great news out of the political fundraising world today — Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Bill White has out-raised Governor Rick Perry for this most recent reporting period! This is true both in terms of money raised and in terms of number of donors. White also has more cash on hand than Perry, who had to spend quite a bit to survive his primary. White is accumulating the resources necessary to get out his message this election season.
Also, Bill White will be in Lubbock tomorrow (Saturday, June 17th) for a fundraiser dinner. He will also make an appearance at Montelongo’s restaurant (on Clovis Highway between Indiana and University) from 2-3pm tomorrow (Saturday). This is not Bill White’s first visit to Lubbock during this campaign season either. He’s been at least two times before that I know of.
Lastly, if you want to get involved with volunteering for the Bill White campaign, then there is an excellent training opportunity Saturday morning/afternoon: Bill White University (BWU) from 10:30am-3:30pm at the Union Hall at 405 E 50th St, just East of I-27. I will be one of the trainers at this BWU event, so I look forward to seeing you there if you decide to go.
This year’s statewide races are shaping up to be exciting and very, very competitive. I hope you will get involved!

After having read up on Bill White a bit more, he’s just as corrupt as Perry is purported to be. Making money off investing in companies who get state government contracts. He also supports making Texas a “sanctuary state”. He also wastes no time in his campaign speeches to give a low blow to Sarah Palin… I mean common wtf does the Alaska gov. have to do with the price of beef in Texas? At least have some dignity Mr. White. His propaganda message of “repeate after me: Rick Perry is in it for himself” does not exactly outline his policy agenda. Also most of his big cash lead came from trial lawyers with about $382,000++ from attorneys and $2.1++ million from business executives. Defiantly a man of the people right? I’m not gonna come on here and say Perry is the ideal pick but what angle are you shooting from? Let’s be honest and say they both suck!

How is White corrupt for making a good investment choice?
Bill White has more individual donors in Texas than Perry, who prefers to do his fundraising with the very rich. Perry most certainly isn’t a man of the people.
I’ve met Bill White in person several times now. Each time I am impressed by him: his work ethic, his dedication to public service, and his problem-solving ability.
