Thank you cal04
We all support the Women of Texas
Thank you for the great pictures and the transcript of Senator Wendy Davis!
But right now, our state is in trouble. Every single statewide office is held hostage by the kind of politician who cares more about their own future than that of their fellow Texans. So, its far too rare that young Texans realize their biggest dreams.
For the last decade, we have watched the politicians in power embarrass Texas and diminish our dreams on an almost daily basis. They have long forgotten what real Texans want or need, forgotten that lots of folks dont agree with them on so many issues:
Theyve forgotten their duty to represent all of us - folks who work hard every day,
Theyve forgotten the people whose quality of life depends on the quality of state leadership,
Theyve forgotten the down-to-earth Texans who count on politicians to care about them.

But they're there to do the will of the people, not their own will (or Koch's or ALEC's)
