Keep Austin Blue Meetup Group

Welcome to Keep Austin Blue!

Austin is continuously rated one of the best places to live, work, and play. Austin is also the most progressive place in the state.

Coincidence?

We think not.

Please note that while we originated as the 2004 Austin For Kerry Group, we don't at this time necessarily favor the nomination of John Kerry in 2008 and welcome liberal-minded people whoever they might eventually support.
