  <blurb>&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;re not done yet with Elections in Texas. With an expected 76-74 Republican controlled statehouse we have a chance on December 16th to help narrow the margin in the state senate by one more vote to 18-13. That race of course, pits former Gubernatorial nominee Chris Bell against GOP nominee Joan Huffman in a special runoff election.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Today I&amp;#39;m kicking off a weeklong effort in support of Chris Bell&amp;#39;s runoff election on &lt;a href="http://www.burntorangereport.com"&gt;Burnt Orange Report&lt;/a&gt;. With Early Voting this week and Election Day next Tuesday, we&amp;#39;re also announcing our second $1000 Burnt Orange for Bell online fundraiser.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last time, we went on strike and you reached that goal in one day. We&amp;#39;re not striking this time, but I&amp;#39;m more than confident our community can raise $1000 this week for Bell. So if you haven&amp;#39;t given (and it&amp;#39;s the only race in town so you should), donate to Bell today.&lt;/p&gt;</blurb>
