Representatives Lon Burnam, Hernando Martinez, and Mark Veasey
also delivered encouragement to the ACORN group. The delegation that stopped
by to see Representative Roberto Alonzo of Dallas was pleased when he kept them
there for a long visit and discussion of future strategies. He told them that
he would be interested in co-sponsoring a town meeting on the "contract
for deed" issue.
The
Dallas group did not return home until after 8 PM. Before then, they were already
planning another action!
