was a 14 hour anti-GOP ad.
It went nationwide and all over the world via Twitter and other forms of social media.
Just the visual of a lone woman defying a group of deceitful men was priceless.
You could not make a better ad.
Thank you Senator Davis.
Your actions will have ramifications far beyond Texas.

Kudos also goes to Senator Hinojosa, whose photo PROVES how the Republicans try to cheat to get their way.

I hope it can be coaxed into a full-blown battle.
