Michelle Obama radio ad for Wendy Davis, plus Weekend of Action updates

With only three weekends remaining to get out the vote (GOTV) for the November 4th Election, every weekend must be a Weekend of Action if Texas Democrats are going to elect Wendy Davis as our next governor and Leticia Van de Putte as our next lieutenant governor, plus all of our other qualified and endorsed statewide candidates, plus our downballot candidates.

So last Monday, Chrislove announced that we won't have our usual Houston Area Kossacks meet-up this month; instead, we are encouraging everyone to volunteer to help GOTV:

The designated TexKos Weekend of Action will be the last weekend of the month: October 25-26. [...] During the Weekend of Action, we strongly encourage every single Texas Kossack to do something with Battleground Texas, whether it is making phone calls or walking door to door. It doesn't have to be all weekend, although the more activism you can do the better. If it's only a few hours, it's still something toward prying Texas out of the grips of Republicans. Then, either nomandates or I will be posting a diary on Monday reporting on our Weekend of Action here in Houston and asking everybody else from around the state to report how it went in their neck of the woods.

Of course, this TexKos Weekend of Action should not be taken to mean that every weekend (and, indeed, every day) should not be action-filled. That's why, leading up to our big Weekend of Action, nomandates and I will be posting diaries every Monday in October asking Texas Kossacks to report back about how their weekends went. But we know people are busy. We know that not everybody can devote every weekend to this election. So we ask that, if you can't do anything the rest of the month, at least try to participate in whatever way you can in our Weekend of Action on October 25-26.

We know, though, that some volunteers are already committed to helping elect various Texas Democratic candidates and that some Kossacks who live outside our state are huge Wendy supporters, so our call to action has been modified to reflect that:

During the Weekend of Action, we strongly encourage every single Texas Kossack or Wendy Davis supporter to do something with Battleground Texas or with a Texas Democratic candidate's campaign, whether it is making phone calls or walking door to door.
