Email From Senator Wendy Davis: Received @ 2:02 am

[MagickMuffin]

Wow. What a day.

I cannot believe the amazing outpouring of support and encouragement that you delivered over the course of my 12 1/2 hour filibuster on the Senate floor.

This may seem hard to believe but I only have a few additional words to share at this time. First, I want to say an incredible and heartfelt thank you to the ten of thousands of Texans and Americans that offered their support and wishes of kindness throughout the day. Your presence at the capitol and your calls, emails, Facebook messages and tweets have sustained us and gave me the opportunity to make your voice heard.

Most importantly, I simply have no words to express my gratitude to those who lent their voice in the over 12,000 personal stories that you bravely and selflessly shared with me to object to this dangerous legislation.

Although I was the one with the microphone on the floor of the Senate today, it was your voice and your words – it was your filibuster.

Now we can’t fool ourselves. Governor Perry and the legislative leadership see their own political livelihood tied to denying women their full rights to make their own health decisions, and they won’t stop here.

I will admit I am a bit tired. But I’m ready to keep fighting and assure you I won’t stop. And, without a doubt I know you will never stop fighting for the Texas we love.

Thank you with all my heart and we will be back to fight another day.

Your friend and, proudly, your State Senator,


Wendy

WTG WENDY, You Did An Incredible Job and We Support You 110% :appluase:

1. Thinking ahead to the 2014 TDP convention

She is going to be a Rock Star!

[MagickMuffin]

4. Indeed, the Tarrant County Democratic Party work extremely hard for her

She is definitely making a difference here and within the State of Texas. And now she will be known elsewhere as well.

Hopefully I'll be able to attend the 2014 convention. Has the TDP decided on where it's going to be held?

[NoPasaran]

5. I think I've heard Dallas but don't take that to the bank

[MagickMuffin]

8. Well Dallas would be fine by me. Of course Fort Worth would be even better

When will there be a finalized decision?

I thought they had to get everything finalized fairly quickly. Next year should definitely be interesting. The TCDP here has a program to help organize our precincts called the NOG (neighborhood outreach group) perhaps the TDP could start using this program if there isn't anything like it throughout the state.

[NoPasaran]

9. I actually think the SDEC may have already chosen the site

I'm simply not sure right now.

[Violet_Crumble]

2. She's an incredible woman who deserves to be called a hero...

I find most American politicians a bit uninspiring, but she's amazing

[MagickMuffin]

6. Yes she is! We are very proud of her in Tarrant County

All of our Democrats in Fort Worth are amazing examples of what our Party stands for and we're just getting started to take back our county.

It WILL happen!

[SunSeeker]

3. My hero!

She may not be my State Senator, but she is my hero.

[MagickMuffin]

7. Unfortunately, my state senator is Kelly Hancock

A worthless t'bagger.

But at least Wendy is in Tarrant County and we are very proud of her. She is a fighter and is definitely a strong candidate within our Party.

During the last election it was incredible to witness her winning her seat once again at the Victory Party. Everyone in Tarrant worked extremely hard to help her GOTV. Of course the republicants tried to get rid of her by gerrymandering her district. Glad that didn't work out!

[TexasTowelie]

16. Unfortunately the state senator that represents my district

is the asshole that is responsible for this bill, Glenn Hegar.

Why can't I have good things?

Hey Wendy,

[MagickMuffin]

18. My question is Why do men want to control and dominate a woman's body

and more specifically our reproductive options?

If men don't want to have an abortion then they shouldn't have one, no one is forcing them to have one.

And hell yeah, Wendy

[MirrorAshes]

10. I'm so proud of her.

And all who had her back.

I see very bright things ahead for her. Maybe she can unseat Ted Cruz next time around. Ahh, dare to dream.

edit- make that Cornyn! He's up next year!

[MagickMuffin]

13. We all are so proud of her

She will continue to fight the good fight and she has proofed she is well qualified.

Cornyn definitely needs a good challenger. He had one in '08, however, Cornyn has very deep pockets so he had a lot of advertising dollars so his ads were nonstop.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Awesome job!!!

[MagickMuffin]

14. Yes, she is AWEsome

We us some Wendy!

[FreeBC]

12. Presidential material?

First in her class at TCU and then Harvard Law....

[MagickMuffin]

15. Perhaps, but not certain that appeals to her

maybe sometime in the near future. But I believe she still wants to fight here in Texas.

Anything is possible however.

[TRoN33]

17. K & R for her!

Wendy Davis, previously nearly unknown in nation, she is now a new face of democracy. Big kudos for her, she have won over the hearts and certainly made her name in the history books.

[MagickMuffin]

19. Isn't it incredible?

I never dreamed she would become a shining star, but I suppose I never really thought about it.

We our Wendy!

[AnnieK401]

20. Thank you and congratulations Wendy!

[Triana]

21. SHEro of the Day!

Now THAT is how a legislator is supposed to do their job - being the voice and doing the will of THE PEOPLE.

[reusrename]

22. Brava!

[LearningCurve]

23. This is someone I can believe in

Because she walks the walk.
