Latest Email from Senator Wendy Davis: Received @ 3:17 am

[MagickMuffin]

I have amazing news!

Just moments ago, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst announced to the Senate that SB5 is officially dead! Evidently, Governor Perry and the legislative leadership can hear our voices.

This amazing feat is because of you. I wanted to share this wonderful news as soon as I could.

Thank you so much for all of your encouragement, support, hard work, and most of all dedication and determination.

It is a great night for women and families in Texas and our allies across the country.

Your friend and, proudly, your State Senator,


Wendy


And Thank You, WENDY! We are ALL so proud of you and honored that you represent Tarrant County and the rest of Texas!

But for now go home and get some sleep. Stay Strong so you can continue to Fight for Another Day.

1. K&R!!! Thanks so much for posting!

[MagickMuffin]

3. You're Welcome

Wendy deserves ALL our support as she has our backs and we need to show her we have hers.

I am so proud of her. Dedicating oneself to what she just accomplished last night shows a lot of courage and character and I know for a fact she has both of those attributes plus many more.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. She certainly is a hero tonight, and not just for her district and state!

The entire country is watching this! Awesome job, amazing courage and stamina and I'm proud of her, too!

[MagickMuffin]

6. YEP

She is now in the world stage. It is simply amazing.

12. I'm not surprised! She's become a hero to those of us all over the world

She certainly has courage, hope that she goes a very long way! Thanks for the link!

[MagickMuffin]

19. I will send her the link

I think this will help solidify her position on how to keep up the fight.

Thanks for the link. I thought that perhaps you only knew about her through DU, so this article will be very beneficial of that I am certain!

[idwiyo]

24. More links from around the world in post #21. Entire world was watching her.

[idwiyo]

2. K&R From across the Pond- Thank you Senator for doing what's right!

[MagickMuffin]

4. She will continue the fight for us ALL

We her and are extremely honored she is working for ALL of us.

[idwiyo]

7. I only wish there were more like her, both in Texas AND in Capitol Hill.

She has more integrity and determination than overwelming majority of the US Senate & House combined.

[MagickMuffin]

8. Absolutely, she is what the DNC should be looking for in candidates for our Party

She is determined and she has the potential to make everyone notice she isn't fooling around and won't be pushed around.

Where are you located since you mentioned you were across the pond?

[idwiyo]

10. I am British, live in UK.

[MagickMuffin]

13. I'll let her know her efforts are reaching far and wide

I'm certain she will be impressed and maybe a bit surprised.

[idwiyo]

17. Huge hug from me and its me who is impressed! She is fighting for all of us, regardless where we are

[Violet_Crumble]

18. They definitely are. I'm in Australia and my daughters so impressed she's emailing her support...

And my daughter doesn't get impressed by political stuff especially in the US much at all, but this has really impressed her

[MagickMuffin]

20. That is so awesome

I will let her know that even down under she is getting attention. Amazing

Thanks for sharing and letting me know about it and more importantly that your daughter is impressed.

21. Here are few more headlines from around the world:

That was just a quick look on Google. So yeah, entire world is watching!

[MagickMuffin]

23. Thank You, just sent her the links

Hopefully she'll get much needed rest today and will have time to read through some of them.

[idwiyo]

25. If you can let me know how I can order and send her some flowers I would be greateful!

You can PM me if you want or post it here.

[MagickMuffin]

30. I will track down her Austin info and send it to you

I will send it to you in a PM

[okaawhatever]

29. How sad is it that I just learned more details from the Sydney morning herald than I

did watching and reading American papers. They must have some crazy notion about printing all the facts down under!!

[BlueCheese]

11. One person can still make a difference!

I wish such courage was more evident in our leaders in Washington these days.

[idwiyo]

14. I am glad Senator Davis stuck to her guns instead of following the example of those on Capitol

Hill who keep moaning about Republican obstructionism and how they just don't have enough votes, instead of doing their job right.

[MagickMuffin]

16. She has stood up to the Texas t'baggers since 08

and they are scared of her. They even tried to gerrymand her district. Luckily it didn't work out for them.

We are extremely proud of her and will continue to fight for her so she can fight for us.

[MagickMuffin]

15. That is absolutely correct

And this is what candidate Obama was trying to convey to us during his 08 campaign. We are the Change We Have Been Waiting For.

However, Wendy is fighting for those of us who need someone to stand up to the bully t'baggers. And she courageously showed everyone last night she is up to the challenge.

HEY DNC, take notice of what courage looks like and how a filibuster looks like!

[love_katz]

22. Yowsa! Fantastic.

I wish we could mange to send her buckets of money, bouquets of flowers, bottles of bubbly, or whatever good things would show our appreciation.

I don't live in Texas, but I am glad she kicked the a$$es of the fundy fanatic pukes who were sponsoring that monstrosity of a bill. Whoo-hoo!

[MagickMuffin]

26. You can donate to her campaign

Us Texas Dem's can use all the cash we can generate. So, I'm sure she would be thrilled by any and all contributions sent her way.

I'm also glad she kicked their butts. The only way they could stop her was with their 3 strikes and you're out rule. I bet they were surprised she showed such courage.

[idwiyo]

28. Do foreigners allowed to donate?

[MagickMuffin]

31. I'm not sure whether or not that would be an issue

I will find out and let you know.

[idwiyo]

32. Thank you! It would be useful to know because I would also like to donate to Alan Grayson

If I can.

[MagickMuffin]

33. Will contact her later today

And see what I can find out!

[idwiyo]

27. I am in if someone lets me know how to send her flowers or something else nice.

[Gothmog]

34. I was following debate online

It was great. Kirk Watson is one of my classmates. We were on law review together and on the debate squad before that.
Wendy Davis did a great job.

[MagickMuffin]

35. I watched after the 3rd strike

Absolutely amazing support for our State Senator, we Democrats in Tarrant County are so proud of her and her continued support of our values.

I definitely knew that the republicons would end her filibuster. No tea leaf reading needed. They are very transparent in their approach.

Sen. Watson, West, Van De Putte, and Zaffirini deserve cudos for their help in parliamentary procedures.

I met Kirk in 08, and receive his emails. He is a good debater, perhaps you deserve some credit for helping him prepare for his role as Caucus Chairman.
