Mr Podesta:

Hi! Ive heard much about you over the years as I worked for Hillary in 2008 here in Texas and am a leader in the Tx Dem party ! Im reaching out with this email in search of some possible direction.

The org I'm pres of (Meyerland Area Democrats in Houston) is the largest most active such in Tx-Wendy Davis, Mayor Annise Parker and others have given us numerous accolades and awards. Its a full time job but no real compensation.

I've had to overcome a disability in my life and  you can see I work hard-but the work just pays nothing to little. Our PAC is small and focused only on our neighborhood. I've worked on so many campaigns and lead many things here-but its time to find something with pay for my bills.

Im ready for a change.

If you have any insight or recommendation on what or where I should go to get me plugged into doing work more than what I'm doing locally please email me? Ie who in Clinton camp is searching prelim hires? Or other possibilities?

Its a sometimes frustrating situation-Im very smart, have gut instinct esp in politics, am hailed all over yet .. I had a terrible struggle to regain a paid role in this sphere in part due to having had Crohns disease. Im a example of Pres Clinton's ticket to work program allowing me to work and retain benefits if needed.

Hillary changed my life in 2008 -as I organized Harris county here-the largest in Tx population wise-before OFA got over here. Cong Sheila Jackson Lee heard about what I had been doing all over the county and brought me into her kitchen cabinet for Hillary. One day at a event with Hillary present  someone tapped on my shoulder-it was Hillary! Sheila told her about my life saving work for Clinton. Hillary hugged me, praised to the room what I did for her. People still talk about it here!

Well hope to hear back.

Also here is a video clip from our Jan meeting on MLK -Bishop James Dixon-a icon here -gave a powerhouse speech on King, community and moving forward-enjoy friend, and there is a link to photos from our meetings- Yours Art Pronin
