Texas House Democrats planning to stay in D.C. for 2nd special session - Edited... Huh?

[FBaggins]

WASHINGTON D.C. - Gov. Greg Abbott is called a second special session before the first one even ended but Texas Democrats who fled the state said they aren’t budging.

The Democrats stood together with Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley Friday morning in Washington D.C. to discuss voting rights. Friday is the 56th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act.

Texas Democrats said they plan to continue pressing Congress to pass federal voting legislation that would override the controversial Texas election bill.

Republicans were not able to get anything passed in the first legislative special session because House Democrats did not attend the session in protest.

On edit - One of the following paragraphs calls the title into question:

"Texas Democrats said they will probably not be back in Austin for the start of the session on Saturday."

1. Abbott is showboating.He's calling special sessions and there's no emergency situation

2. Abbott is a single minded git. Even Perry realized what a waste is was, he only tried it once.

3. Willie Nelson is actively speaking out.

Willie is not someone Abbott should have on the wrong side of him in Texas.

From a July 31 rally ... Nelson said, “It is important that we ensure the right for EVERY American to vote and vote safely. Laws making it more difficult for people to vote are Unamerican & are intended to punish poor people, people of color, the elderly and disabled-why? If you can’t win playing by the rules, then it’s you and your platform -- not everyone else’s ability to vote.”
