They even have one planned for here in Houston.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is pretty much the only tactic they have, but we&#8217;ve seen this for the past several years now. There really is no meaningful momentum behind it&#8221; noted Hoffman, &#8220;These are paid organizers, but it doesn&#8217;t have any meaningful outcome at the ballot box.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today is May 1st.
