Today, March 2, is Texas Independence Day, celebrating the day 174 years ago when delegates to the Convention of 1836 met in Washinton on the Brazos and approved a Declaration of Independence from Mexico and began writing a Constitution and formed an interim government. All this mind you, as reports were coming in from San Antonio that the Alamo was under siege by the army of General Santa Anna and his large army would soon be advancing toward Washington on the Brazos. The brave men of the Alamo held the fortress inspite of overwhelming odds until March 6th when it fell, giving the Convention time to finish it's task.
Today is also a day to Vote in the primary elections for various statewide offices including Governor. If the brave delegates to the Convention and the Defenders of the Alamo could sacrifice so much so that we could be free and independent couldn't we at least exercise our Right To Vote and honor their sacrifice?
