Ciro's Comeback Bid is a very big deal...

"This is a life-or-death battle for the heart and soul of America," Congressman Charlie Gonzalez said. "It is Ciro's social conscience that is so desperately needed in Congress." Ciro Rodriguez raised some money at a birthday fundraiser for his bid to unseat Henry Cuellar in District 28.

Congressman Gonzalez is right. Ciro offers a track-record of solutions and accomplishments. Ciro has responded to the needs of his district, especially after NAFTA took its toll on the well-being of the South Texas economy and infrastructure. Ciro kept the people in mind, and not wealthy special interests, during his time in Congress. This is what Congressman Gonzalez means when he speaks of Ciro's social conscience. It's been tested. It's been proven.

I won't today, but I know there will be plenty of opportunity to write about the record of the current guy in the seat.
