Dallas County Democrats
Proud To Be A Democrat
This site is an ARCHIVE of the website used
for the Dallas County Democratic Party from 2000 to May of 2002, and which was built by the then Chair Bill Howell. Though some information
here will be relevant through the 2002 elections, other pages here are of interest for
history or research. For the
latest updated news about the Dallas County Democratic Party, see their own website at

"When the Republican Party blasts "big government," many voters buy it - until they
realize it's programs and protections like these that the GOP is attacking: I'm proud that
all these accomplishments were initiated by the Democrats - most of them over strenuous
opposition from Republicans. I'm proud that we Democrats are committed to improving
government, not destroying it.
"We're Democrats. We believe in government that works!
For all people!
"The most important steps for economic and social progress taken
during the 20th Century were initiated and led by Democrats."- Molly
