I think we should give an award to Wendy Davis.

[El Supremo]

Something like a DU Courage Award.

What do you think?

[Marrah_G]

1. Or flowers!

[cali]

2. we could always send her flowers like we did with Helen Thomas

[OneGrassRoot]

3. Or donate to Planned Parenthood in her honor. n/t

[cali]

5. cool idea. we could even do both.

[OneGrassRoot]

23. Exactly. n/t

[Ilsa]

10. I think this would be so great. Planned Parenthood, The Lilith Fund,

Any organizations that help poor women get the healthcare they need.

[Triana]

20. Love the PP Lilith Fund idea - donate in her name.

They need the $.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. We have done flowers in the past

[northoftheborder]

6. donation to Planned Parenthood is a good idea.

The mama in me is hoping she is physically OK, and not overly exhausted after her marathon filibuster. And if she has a weak back, that could have some ill effects.

7. A golden pair of those shoe.

The first 'Standing For All' award from DU.

[bluedigger]

8. Maybe give her a "Get Out from Under The DU Bus Free" pass.

She will need it sooner or later...

[El Supremo]

13. Leave it to you to start bad vibes.

[bluedigger]

17. LOL!

First time I've seen you post outside of the Sports group. Of course, I understand it must be time consuming supporting all your teams...

[NoPasaran]

18. DUzy!

[OneGrassRoot]

22. +1 LOLOL n/t

[Luminous Animal]

9. How about a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood in her name.

[snot]

12. Actually, I like this even better. But let's still send a doz. roses, or something, to Davis.

[Luminous Animal]

14. Yep. She really deserves some lovely roses.

[snot]

11. Agreed. Cf. this: "Senator Boxer to receive bouquet of 5,000 Roses"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x326948

We need to do it again!

[Warpy]

15. Remember when Helen Thomas was standing up to Stupid?

DU sent her dozens of roses. Perhaps this is another such occasion.

[KamaAina]

16. The VP nomination?

[sonias]

19. You and I have the same idea

I'm thinking Clinton/Davis 2016 has a nice ring to it.


She can't win her seat back in the Texas Senate with the redistricting the TX repukes are playing. I would love to see her get a national voice.

Wendy!

[Major Hogwash]

21. How about a dozen Yellow Rose of Texas bouquets on her birthday?

She was fantastic last night.
I've never seen anyone like her.

The filibuster rulez for Texas' state legislature are dumb, though.
No restroom breaks?
That's not even human.
Can't lean on your desk?
That's absurd.
Have to stay on topic?
As if the Rethuglicans have EVAH been on topic!!

[cali]

24. perfect! doesn't even have to be for her birthday

[Major Hogwash]

25. Well, it appears I spoke too soon. Perry just called for another special session next week.

<Insert long string of swear words here.>

[cali]

26. that doesn't make what she did any less worthy.

that was a done deal anyway and she knew it.

[Major Hogwash]

27. True that.

Next week's session is going to be national news.
I hope some big-name celebrities show up to help the Democrats protest.
Lady Gaga, George Clooney, people like that, people with star power.
We need to "rock the house".

All the Texas Rethuglicans managed to do was put more spotlight on their stupidity.

[Comrade Grumpy]

28. I like the sound of "Texas Gov. Wendy Davis (D)"
