It's just a few more days until July 4th. Has your governor responded to the FoodIndependenceDay.org inquiry?
Here in Texas, we're still waiting to hear from Governor Perry. [UPDATE: We got an answer, via a Twitter-based video. I blogged a bit about it over at MySA.com ]
Over on the new, non-partisan Dig for Texas blog, I just posted this update:
Since neither Roger nor I have received any response from Governor Perry or his office yet, I've just tweeted to all the 2010 candidates (Democrat and Republican) for governor AND senate that I could find on Twitter, asking them what they'd serve on July 4. I swear it's NOT a trick question... we're just curious and want to spotlight local Texas food. Am hoping someone is willing to give an answer. A response from a Senate candidate would be terrific at this point, even if the project is geared at First Families!
As a reminder and for those of you coming late to the game, FoodIndependenceDay.org is a non-partisan project spearheaded by the same fella who engineered EatTheView.org during the 2008 presidential race.
In other words, this is not a "gotcha" activity. It's an honest inquiry.
If you're not sure if your First Family fessed up what's on the menu, then go look for the little red dots on the map. And if you haven't done so already, be sure to add your own green mark! You can be anonymous or you can use your name (and that's a big ol' hint for the candidates in any race out there--free advertising!)
