I have given money to Annie's List. Here is a statement from an e-mail that I received this afternoon http://annieslist.com/2014/01/20/annies-list-executive-director-responds-to-attacks-on-wendy-davis-personal-story/
Annies List Executive Director Grace Garcia Responds to Attacks on Wendy Davis Personal Story
Today, Annies List Executive Director Grace Garcia released the following statement in response to recent attacks on Wendy Davis personal story.
Were not surprised Republicans have attempted to undermine Wendy Davis campaign by calling her past into question we have seen similar attacks launched against women candidates before. The recent personal attacks on Wendy Davis and her family are blatant attempts to thwart her campaign and undermine her success. Just last week, the Davis campaign announced impressive fundraising numbers from donors in every county in Texas. Greg Abbott is running scared and for good reason. Senator Davis personal story is a compelling narrative of perseverance and hard work that millions of Texans have responded to. It is appalling that Republicans would attack the details of that story rather than focus on the issues affecting Texas families.
Disputing the details of Wendy Davis life is especially offensive to the many Texas women who can relate to her story. In trying to tear down Senator Davis campaign and her personal story, Republicans are also tearing down all Texans who have overcome difficult circumstances. Its clear Greg Abbott doesnt understand Wendy Davis struggles and the struggles of millions of Texans, nor does he want to.
