STOP SCROLLING AND READ THIS! HELP SENATOR DAVIS FILIBUSTER AN ANTI-ABORTION BILL!
From the Jezebel article:Texas Democrats are currently trying to kill a venomous omnibus anti-abortion bill that would basically end access to safe and legal abortion across the state by holding an intended 13-hour filibuster to stop the legislation from moving to Governor Rick Perry’s desk — a crucial endeavor, since Perry seems to think all his constituents are nonviable fetuses. It must be voted on by midnight to pass.
Awesomely feisty Senator Wendy Davis began the filibuster that will hopefully derail the vote at 11:18 a.m. CDT Tuesday. She sent us a statement outlining her plan for the day (which won’t involve eating, drinking, sitting, or peeing):
But Senator Davis is running out of material. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SEND HER LETTERS SO SHE CAN KEEP FILIBUSTERING! You can submit a letter HERE.
It doesn’t have to be long, or specifically about you. 500 words is all they ask - talk about how your life or your friend’s life would be affected if you did not have access to abortion; talk about how your parents’ lives would have been different. They’re only using first names.
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS! THANK YOU!
I’m sure this has filled up your dash today. Good.
