Harlingen Tea Party
Candidate Forums for 2 March Primary 
8 January 2010
 
 
PATRIOTS!
 
Only SIX WEEKS until early voting for the Congressional Primaries!  It is important for each of us to study and select our choice of candidate! 
 
Harlingen Tea Party will sponsor Candidate Open Forum meetings on Tuesday, January 26 and February 2, 2010 at 6 PM at the Harlingen Public Library.  Note we will be starting at 6 PM, an hour earlier that usual. 
The meeting on January 26 will feature candidates for office in the 27th Congressional District.  Republicans Willie Vaden, Jessica Bradshaw and James Duerr, Libertarian Ed Mishou and the Democratic incumbent, Solomon Ortiz, are invited.  
 
The meeting on February 2 will feature candidates for office in the 15th Congressional District.  Republicans Eddie Zamora, Paul Haring and Daniel Garza, Libertarian Aaron Cohn, and the Democratic candidate Doug Purl and incumbent, Ruben Hinojosa, are invited. 
 
These meetings are intended to let us hear from each individual candidate.  Questions from the audience will be permitted.  The format for the meeting will be different, guaranteed to allow each candidate to communicate his positions to our members. 
 
After hearing the candidates, a straw vote will be taken!  Come and support the candidates of your choice!
 
The Harlingen area is split among the two congressional districts (15 and 27).  Everyone is encouraged to attend both meetings.  We may not be able to actually vote in both district elections, but we all know someone in the "other" district - so come on out and determine the best candidate to recommend to your friends and neighbors. 
 
See ya at the straw polls on January 26 and February 2!
 
Respectfully,
 
Donnie Thompson

Cleaning Mold and Mildew From Your Window Air Conditioner

By
I don't think cleaning mold and mildew from your window air conditioner is a problem specific to the Rio Grande Valley. After all, there are plenty of other places with high temperatures and high humidity. However, given that there are so many of us who rely on window units to cool our homes, allow me to share some experience in cleaning these things out. Why I'm Cleaning My Own A/C Obviously, our window units grew some black stuff on the blower and its enclosure. This generated allergies in my little one, who is sensitive to such things. Not having my own laboratory, I couldn't tell you if it is mold or mildew. It matters not. What I've Tried Other than replacing the window unit every couple months, I've tried washing the unit with Clorox products. I figure bleach kills everything; but, I guess it doesn't. We still had to use cotton swabs to wipe and scrub surfaces on the blower and enclosure, which is almost impossible on some models. You can't d...

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
