No Pay for Congress during Shutdown
Add signatureFar-Right Republicans have tanked our government, causing millions to go without pay. The TSA, air traffic controllers, our soldiers and sailors, national parks employees, and millions of other government employees will soon be without a paycheck.
During this period of suffering and anxiety for millions, the Congress Critters who caused this mess are still getting paid. Not their staff (who get back pay), not the cooks or janitors at the Capitol (who do NOT get back pay); only Congress members are still getting paid.
We think the first paychecks that should be cut are those of Congress Critters. Sign if you agree!

Albert Voraman signed Federated CRM System Between TDP & All County Parties 2024-05-25 16:10:09 -0500
Federated CRM System Between TDP & All County Parties
Federated CRM System for County Parties
- Similar to the Unions/Action Network, the TDP should create a Federated CRM system (i.e. mass email/activist database).
- EX: You can create a system of databases that communicate with each other. When an Activist signs up with the state org with a 76550 area code, they’ll automatically be added to the Lampasas County Dems’ database. An activist can unsub from either the state or the local without unsub’ing from the other.
Cost savings will be hard to calculate, given the various data sizes. It could be more, less, or equal to the amount saved with the federated website system.
Most folks outside of the Party DO NOT DISTINGUISH the difference between the State or the County Parties. We know and recognize the difference. Most people do not.
Because of this, all work a County Party does will reflect directly on the TDP and vice versa. The more resources a County Party can put into GOTV and less into overhead, the better for us all.
We need to centralize better and automate certain processes while maintaining local control. Federated websites and CRM systems are a great way to boost long-term effectiveness & efficiency.
Add signatureWe call upon the TDP to create a federated CRM system for all county parties so that resources can be better spent on GOTV and other matters.

Subpages for All County Parties on TDP's Website
Federated Website System for County Parties
- Similar to the Unions, allow counties to create/manage subpages on the TDP page.
- EX: www.lampasas.texasdemocrats.org would go to the LCDP site, even if it’s just a forward link.
If the average website cost is $20/mo+ $20/yr for URL purchase and there are 254 counties, then collectively, all county parties could be spending up to $66,000/yr. Certain subpage systems can reduce this cost to $10/mo or less per website w/ no need to buy a URL, saving upwards of $35,500/yr.

Ranked-Choice Voting for Statewide Party Officers
The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well.
Add signatureWe call for rule changes to the Texas Democratic Party to institute ranked-choice voting for all party officer positions elected at the 2026 State Democratic Convention. It is confusing to our delegates to use ranked-choice for SDEC and committee members only to use an entirely other voting system for party officers. One common voting system will best serve our party. We also call for the party to institute electronic voting, including at in-person conventions, for to make our floor votes faster, easier, and more transparent.
