(I wish I could vote for her!)

[sheshe2]

1. I wish I could too, Triana!

However, we will indeed support her anyway we can!

[jsr]

2. I hope she wins.

[Gothmog]

3. I am working with my county party and Battleground

We are going to do our best to help Wendy Davis win.

[pamela]

4. I can!

We changed our residency to Texas last year. (We're fulltime RVers so we pick a residency state.) Voting for Wendy will be my first vote as a new Texan. Yay!

[marble falls]

5. I can. And I will.

[broiles]

23. Me too.

[Thor_MN]

6. Good post, terrible subject line.

I detest "This" as subject. YMMV.

[TxGrandpa]

7. I can vote for her and will!!!!

[Gothmog]

27. Welcome to DU

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

8. I can I will. I can't wait.

[Playinghardball]

9. Welcome to the DU...

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

39. Thank you.

I've been here as a silent and very appreciative reader since 2003. Now that I'm retired from public education, I decided to get a new hobby and join the fray.

[Gothmog]

28. Welcome to DU

What part of Houston are you located?

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

40. Willowbend area - south of 610 between Main and Post Oak.

I used to live in Third Ward until it became The Museum District and I couldn't afford the property taxes.

What part of Texas are you located?

[blogslut]

10. It's going to feel so good to vote for her.

13. Well, what CAN we Texas-challenged types do?

Is it legal to phone bank from out of state? If donations are allowed from out of state, what's the limit?

[northoftheborder]

17. Yes you can phone bank from anywhere.

Wendy Davis is getting very large donations from out of state from the likes of Barbara Streisand, Martina Navratilova (sp? the tennis player) Emily's list, etc.. I don't know if there is a limit or what it is. Someone from Houston gave her a million dollars, I think.

Letitia Van de Pute is a very smart, capable, personable candidate for attorney general. She needs support too. She's a Latina, a pharmacist from San Antonio, presently in the Texas Senate.

You can go to Burnt Orange Report for a link to a video of both of them speaking at the Travis County Democrats meeting last night.

22. Van de Putte is up for Lt Gov

Both women can use all the help we can give them, financial and otherwise.

[Gothmog]

29. Leticia may actually have a better chance if Dan Patrick is the GOP nominee

Greg is a weak campaigner and so far is running a bad campaign but Dan Patrick is truly crazy. I believe that Dan Patrick will beat out Dewhurst and be the GOP nominee for Lt. Governor.

BTW, I have heard that Leticia is going to come to Fort Bend County sometime this Spring.

[northoftheborder]

37. oops, you're right. very powerful office in Texas

[surrealAmerican]

14. That's some damn fine quilting there.

Do we know whose work it is?

[oldandhappy]

15. All of us can help

No matter where you live, you will be able to connect to and work the phone banks in Texas for Wendy Davis. Watch for this as an opportunity for all of us to help her.

[niyad]

16. k and r--cannot vote for her, but wishing the best. that is a beautiful quilt.

[ReRe]

18. When I first seen this...

... I could have sworn it was woven. That is some fine quilting! I'm not in Texas, so I can't vote for her. But wouldn't it be neat if all her needlepoint fans made a quilt of the same dimensions and then have a big fund raising dinner and have a silent auction, all monies to the campaign coffers?

[nikto]

19. She's going to win

[CrispyQ]

21. I can't vote for her, but this is one of the campaigns I'm donating money to.

Saw this on Facebook:




Fuckin' A!

[redqueen]

24. Holy crap that's awrsome!

Thanks for supporting Wendy Davis!

It'd sure be great to have a Democratic Lieutenant Governor in office to back her up (Texas is a weak governor state) so if you're looking for other awesome candidates to support there's also Leticia Van de Putte

[CrispyQ]

38. I just sent her a few bucks & now she's in my contrib queue.

Thank you RQ for all you do on DU.

[kag]

25. Yup, I wish I could vote for her, too, but...

I have a whole bunch of family who can and will--brothers, sisters-in-law, aunts, cousins, and only a couple of them (my dad, for one) will cancel them out with a vote for whichever right wing idiot is on the other side of the ballot.

[Lint Head]

26. Me too!! She's a fighter and our country needs more fighters like her.

[Walk away]

30. My best friend just moved to Dallas and is excited about voting for Wendy!

Things are changing fast in Texas. I know so many Texans who have been living in NYC and are now hitting retirement age and moving back home to retire. Lots of people in the arts and finance are going to be changing neighborhoods, running for local office and voting.

Wouldn't it be fantastic for a pro choice, female Democrat was the Governor of Texas?

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. Go! Wendy! Go!

[Demoiselle]

32. Not that this is relevant, and please don't take offense, my sisters…but...

She is also absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could vote for her, too.

[dem in texas]

33. Don't Forget the Lt. Governor - That's where the power is

Wendy has my vote for sure and also Leticia Van de Putte. Van de Putte (who is Hispanic) is running as Dem for Lt. Governor. In Texas, this is the most powerful seat in the legislature. Let's help both of them win.

[Javaman]

34. She has my vote and yours by proxy. :) nt

[tibbir]

35. I'm thrilled that I can!

I just hope Texas runs a great slate of candidates.

[rivegauche]

36. WOOT!!

She's the first candidate in a state I don't even live in to whom I've donated money. And I will probably give her a nice chunk of my tax refund this year too!
