I was so Happy this morning, The history we made last night. Unbelievably Sweet. Three States fought the GOP and we won. Damn it we did. Fairly without deception. No smoke and mirrors. We won!Well lo and behold the GOP rears their ugly dishonorable heads again. They are doing it in Texas again and I want to cry.
Statement by Sen. Wendy Davis on Announcement of Second Special Session
Misplaced priorities of legislative leaders squandered a tremendous opportunity to make much needed improvements in our transportation infrastructure and help create good jobs and bring businesses to Texas. Despite urging by responsible members of the Senate to bring up the matter of transportation, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst derailed as much as much as $1 billion per year in transportation funding by stubbornly pushing divisive, failed legislation attacking women's health care options.
If leaders are serious about using this second called special session to improve the lives of Texans by repairing and expanding our transportation networks, they will find no greater ally than me. If they intend to keep pushing their extreme personal political agenda ahead of the interests of Texas families, I will not back off of my duty to fight on their behalf.
