Congrats Texas Dems

[malaise]

on their way to DC to deny ReTHUG scoundrels a quorum.
Most excellent!

1. Let's hope that they drop in to visit Manchin and Synema

to have a chat about the voting bill.

I'm glad they are standing up this way.

Interestingly, last year in Oregon, we had the opposite problem. The Democratic-led legislature was going to pass some legislation aimed at climate change and the Republicans left the state to deny a quorum.

We really do need to see some progress in getting that bill passed so that these state voter suppression/negation laws are stopped.

7. They've already visited Manchin - a few weeks ago.

I'd like them to lobby Sinema though, for sure.

She's a good one.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett flew Southwest to DC to deny the Governor's Jim Crow voter suppression agenda.

"I was elected by the people of HD100. And if I can't represent them, I don't need to be in the House."

21. Is there a fund or some other kind of financial support to help the Texas Dems while they're

out of state in this protest?

They're gonna need places to stay, laundry soap, phone bills to pay, food to buy?

Anybody know? Some of us could help them on this extended "trip".
