Lt. Gov. Dewhurst & Atty. Gen. Greg Abbott Consider Charges Against Student Who Led Eyes of Texas

Leigh Larson, a leader of and organizer with College Kids For Wendy, is now becoming another face of the movement to Stand With Texas Women. Much like Martha Northington, Larson has received a lot of plaudits for leading the "Eyes of Texas" in the Capitol Rotunda at the end of Tuesday night's citizen filibuster.

Now Lt. Governor David Dewhurst may have his eyes on her. She has received notice that the Lt. Governor and Attorney General Greg Abbott may be considering pressing charges on her along with others for "disturbing the peace" and "inciting a riot".

I (Joe Deshotel) was sitting with Leigh when she first heard the rumor and she had the following response:

"I'm not gonna worry about it, I have a Spanish test on Tuesday."

As soon as charges are filed for changing the time of the vote. I'm beyond pissed. To me, Dewhurst should shut the hell up!

why isn't the Dew looking for the person who falsified state records--a felony, if I'm not mistaken?

Maybe it's because the Lite Guv ordered someone to change the official record.

I don't understand why more people aren't livid about it. I'm going to watch the vote today. I wish I could be there showing my support.

Singing is now "inciting a riot"? What nonsense!

The real felony was the record tampering in the Senate chamber on the date stamp. That's the one Dewhurst should be prosecuted for!
