Emails That Led To The Sugar Land Protests

KHOU out of Houston has a story I seem to have missed last week (I think almost everyone did; I haven’t seen it anywhere) that tracks the emails encouraging DeLay supporters to protest Nick Lampson’s press conference.

More after the jump:

11 News obtained e-mails Thursday that detailed the planning of the disruption of Nick Lampson’s news conference Thursday morning in Sugar Land and showed it was organized by DeLay supporters.

One of the e-mails from Chris Homan, called on supporters to “give Lampson a parting shot that wrecks his press conference.”

Homan is the former campaign manager for Tom DeLay. The other e-mail is from Cress Ann Posten.

Here are the E-mails:

Attention all who support Tom DeLay…

Tomorrow morning (Thursday, April 6), Nick Lampson is holding a press conference to demand that Governor Perry immediately schedule a special election to replace Tom DeLay.

Hmmm.  Exactly who is Nick Lampson to demand that Governor Perry circumvent the law?

Chris Homan is organizing a rally to show support for Tom tomorrow morning, (Thursday, April 6).

Meet tomorrow morning (Thursday, April 6) at 9:45am on the first floor of the parking garage attached to the Marriott Town Center, in Sugar Land.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***–Please call the campaign office at 281-343-1333 and let them know if you can attend, or email Leonard Cash (click on link to his name below) so that they can get a head count.
