Press: Montemayor Welcomes Crabb to Race
For Immediate Release
Contact: Joe Montemayor-281-452-6888
Democratic candidate for Texas House District 127 Joe Montemayor extends his congratulations to Joe Crabb on his Primary victory. Republican incumbent Joe Crabb held on to earn another shot at re-election in November; however, he was held to 7399 votes. “Given the more balanced political make-up of the district, as was exhibited in this primary election, I would also like to invite Rep. Crabb to openly and honestly discuss the issues that most affect the people of our district, such as K-12 and community college funding, Children's Health Insurance, and services for seniors and the disabled.”
Democrat Joe Montemayor collected 10,061 votes while unopposed, and is now better prepared than most challengers have been at this point in the campaign to challenge Crabb. “We will now begin the process of introducing Mr. Montemayor to a greatly expanded list of voters of District 127, while also showing voters the policy differences between him and the incumbent,” said Montemayor campaign manager, Stace Medellin adding, “I believe the voters will not only see the differences, but will be able to decide who of the two candidates represents them best in Austin based on those issues.”
And with an increasingly balanced electorate, Montemayor feels that the opportunity exists for a strong candidate to attract independents and disaffected Republicans; however, he will also put much effort into bringing out voters in oft-ignored Channelview, Barrett Station, Highlands, and Crosby. “I am looking forward to reaching every voter, while being inclusive of those areas beyond Kingwood and Atascocita, so that we can have a frank and honest discussion about the issues that affect all of our constituents.”
At the Kingwood early voting location, Democrats accounted for 46% of all votes. In other parts of District 127, which includes Crosby, Barrett Station, Atascocita, and Channelview, Democratic voters outnumbered Republicans. “However one analyzes it, there has been exponential growth in the number of identified Democrats in District 127,” said Montemayor, adding, “and it’s about time.”
A retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, Montemayor offers 29 years of public service experience, working with the Department of Homeland Security and serving in the United States Navy. “As a professional in the public sector, I learned first-hand the need for responsiveness and high-quality constituency services, which District 127 has been lacking,” added Montemayor, “The people of District 127 will notice the change in service, the change in priorities, and the added incentive of experience when I begin to serve.”

Stop the Conflict
Saturday, March 15, 2008
Dear Neighbors,
This morning, over coffee with my wife, I found myself reminiscing over the events of a dinner party we had the night before. It was nothing big, just a small group of family and friends that we haven’t seen in a while. Our son Joey had come down for the weekend from San Marcos, my daughter Monica Son in Law Bill and my grand kids were all there as well. Basically we were exited to visit with my cousins Betty and Victor their daughters Belinda, Liliana and Lily’s husband as well John.
It was kind of a surreal situation, because I was really looking forward to finally meeting and talking to John. He has been serving in the Army for 7 years and just completed his 3rd tour of duty in Iraq, oddly he wanted to talk to me about my campaign.
After our meal and a drink we ended up openly visiting and expressing our concerns about Iraq, our current leadership and the overwhelmingly negative opinion that the world now has of America. Finally, we both agreed that this up coming election would be a turning point, not only for the American people but also in the overall reputation of the USA.
After this conclusion, John then stated that he was having a real problem in deciding which of the three candidates to vote for. He said that he did not like the Republican candidate, he would however vote for ONE of the Democratic candidates if indeed this candidate was to win the nomination.
To be honest, this was not the first time that I have heard this argument. So I posed this question to John, and I will also pose it to all who find themselves in this same dilemma.
DO YOU WANT FOUR (4) MORE YEARS OF “LEADERSHIP” THAT HAS:
• CAUSED THE CURRENT RESSISSION
• REFUSED TO ADDRESS DOMISTIC ISSUES, SUCH AS HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION AND IMMIGRATION.
• HAS CREATED A NATIONAL DEBT OF 3 TRILLION DOLLARS
• LEAD US INTO A PRE-EMPTIVE AND QUESTIONABLE WAR
• CONTINUES TO VIOLATE THE AMERICAN PEOPLES CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, REGARDING ILLEGAL WIRE TAPPING, RECORD CHECKS AND WARRENTLESS SEARCHES.
• AND ABOVE ALL; CONTINOUSLY REFUSES TO ADMIT THEIR ERRORS
After asking this question John looked at me stunned. I then explained that when I ask this question it is to put things back into perspective.
I constantly point out that according the Republican candidate we must, “stay the course and in time all will work out”. (McCain publicly stated that he would be fine with keeping American troops in Iraq for 100 -or even 1 million years.)
The Democratic candidates on the other hand both agree that America must have change; furthermore, they tend to be in agreement on almost every significant issue that needs to be addressed but differ as to how to fix these issues.
The problem with this election is that a division is being created in the Democratic Party, not because of anything politically significant but for the worst reasons there could possibly be within a society, Racism and Sexism.
In the determination of having their candidate attain the nomination, individuals in both camps are leading the democratic voters to an “all are nothing” type position. (If their candidate doses not win the nomination of the party, don’t vote or vote for another candidate).
In my opinion, this hostility and developing attitude only helps the Republicans in the end.
We know that both Democratic candidates all well qualified and can bring about these desperately needed changes for the betterment of society. Further, regardless if we are male or female, White, Black, Asian, Latino, even Purple for that matter; we in the Democratic Party must unite and bring forth our resources and efforts to support the nominee whether this be Senator Clinton or Senator Obama.
John eventually seen the reason within my argument and I am not sure if he completely agrees with me, but I know that he now has a lot to think about.
So, to all of you that are in the same dilemma, ask your self this:
