4. Perhaps Texas will return to a blue state. Another sign Don't Mess With Texas Women.

Thanks Wendy and those who was in the capital, your efforts together has proven "Yes we can".

5. Dear Harry Ried,

This is what a filibuster looks like!

I'm not from Texas, but today all women are Texas women.

6. This is what standing up for your rights looks like!

We've been bullied far too long. It's time to stand up and say NO to nuttery! Thank you Senator Davis!!

7. It is curious that the record has not been changed back to

reflect the actual vote date of the 26th.

Does tampering with the record constitute a criminal act? Should the record be changed back to reflect the original vote occurring after the end of the session, or should the record be purged of the vote occurring at all since the session had ended?

...perhaps I am just jaded by the corruption around me here in Texas.

8. Texas women, you've made Ann Richards and Molly Ivins proud!

I went to bed last night so depressed, thinking we had lost this battle amid the disgusting tactics of the Texas Taliban. How thrilling to read such good news this morning. Good going Texas Dems!
