#StandWithTexasWomen – anniversary celebration

Last night, Wendy Davis spoke to a huge crowd in Austin to celebrate the anniversary of her filibuster. I met the political director of Battleground Texas at the event & promised a diary, so here it is. if you want to skip the pictures & fangirling, and just help us turn Texas blue, you can do that right here: Battleground Texas: What Will You Do?

Here’s a crowd shot from Austin:

Of course everyone was thrilled. She was in full-on campaign mode – there’s an article from the Texas Tribune here: On Filibuster Anniversary, Davis Targets GOP “Insiders”

Here’s something that must have been making the rounds last year but I missed it. It so covers Wendy’s feisty attitude:

Our Lieutenant Governor candidate, State Senator Leticia Van dePute, she of the “At What Point” quote, also spoke — and wow she is good. Senators Kirk Watson and Senfronia Thompson also spoke — and can I just say we have the people who know how to fire up a crowd.

So whether you’re in Texas or not, how about helping us out, right here: Battleground Texas: What Will You Do?

here is a good pic — all the pics are from Battleground’s twitter feed, as short as I am, I don’t try to get pics at events like this — of Wendy & Leticia:

I hope everyone saw the segment earlier this week on the surprisingly easy way to turn Georgia blue — voter registration. Here is is in case you missed it:

  1. They know it and we know it … and they will fight tooth and nail to stop it from happening.

    Keep fighting the good fight, anotherdemocrat and all Texans. We stand with you.

    Here is that MSNBC video on turning Georgia blue:

    I was in Austin at the State Capitol last July with Daughter and Granddaughter. It was a real thrill!

    Proud to report that Granddaughter, who graduated last month from Purdue with a degree in Political Science, is now working for the Leticia Van de Putte campaign in San Antonio.

    I will be deeply interested in this particular campaign and contributing as my finances allow.

    Thanks for the diary and photos!
