Wendy Davis Daughters Slam Disgusting Right-Wing Attacks Against Their Mother
"I think most people knew that once a powerful Texas woman (who happens to be a Democrat) decided to run for Governor of Texas, the attacks against her were going to get very ugly. I mean this is a strong, independent woman against the Republican party and Republicans dont like strong, independent women."

"Well, apparently her daughters have had enough and they decided to speak out.
Her youngest daughter Dru said, in part:"
Her eldest daughter, Amber, also weighed in on the ridiculous conservative attacks:
Much More to the story..

(37,573 posts)I'm afraid that a majority of Texas DOES hate the Federal Government, especially things like the EPA, the ACA, and planned parenthood.
I don't think this is a winning line of attack.

(32,029 posts)the past few years because my kids are still young (believe me - it was easier when the little one was in the stroller sleeping at the caucus ... harder when they are school age and running around the room!) so I haven't been officially involved since 2008. Last night I spent some time trying to talk one of my friends into being an organizing fellow in our area - her kids are older! So, still pushing from behind the scenes.
For Texans who are unaware the Texas democratic convention is in Dallas this year -- http://www.hotelplanner.com/Event-Hotels/7592-For-Texas-Democratic-Party-State-Convention-June-26-2014-in-Dallas-TX#navPanel. I know sometimes DUers try to meet up at these events. It's a good opportunity to see Wendy and who knows - Hillary might even put in an appearance! You never know ... she is very well liked here in Tejas!

(297,028 posts)Whatever you're able to do.. past present and future!
I'm going to put the Texas Democratic Convention in the OP and I'm sure we'll all talk about it as it gets nearer. Good Luck to us all!
I really appreciate your help. I don't do OPs too much myself but I know you write ones that people notice and we need all the help we can get down here. Thank you!

(1,365 posts)for kids aged 4 and up for people volunteering for Wendy. I'm in Houston. I have a small school at my house (after 33 years in public schools) I'm sure others will do the same in other places.

(32,029 posts)I bet that will help out some folks! With older kids we have a lot of activities on the weekends (sports, scouts, Sunday School & youth group amongst others). I'm getting all the emails so I have contacts and figure that I should be able to get on the list for calling folks (during the day while the kids are in school). A lot of folks work but not everyone - I was able to get through to some people and leave messages for others when I did this for Obama.

(19,558 posts)She's got the backbone to take on the Republicans in Texas, that alone is worth parting with some of my hard earned money. I also like to indulge my fantasy of her winning governor of Texas, and imagine the all out panic that would spread throughout the R's everywhere!
I can remember a time when crazy, hate filled people like that Abbot fellow wouldn't have had a chance in politics. Things sure have went downhill fast in this country.

It was very well organized and I got a lot of positive responses. Check the Battleground Texas web site for many events near you.
Give the letter W it's dignity back! Elect Wendy!

(12,665 posts)Your sister state, Tennessee, will be doing what we can to help get her elected.
The "womens" are different and deserved the uneducated attack from the ugly neanderthals. The antiquated thinking of the white Tex-ass menz show just how far they have their collective heads stuck up their proverbial asses.
Excellent OP, Cha.
I stand with Wendy Davis. I hope Texas knows what the future can hold for them with Wendy as Governor!
GOTV2014!
