This will be fun.

Texas Women will be going back to Austin today as the Senate re-considers the bill.

We are trying to gather as many pictures as possible of people in Texas and even from foreign states Standing with Texas Women.

Here’s how it works.

1.  Take a picture of yourself holding a homemade sign that says “I Stand With Texas Women” and the name of your city or town (optional).

2.  Send that picture to:

Here’s where you can email your photo:
standwithtexaswomen@gmail.com

Or you can submit it on our Tumblr:
txwomen.tumblr.com/submit

I’ll give you the link where they’re posted as soon as we get some up.   This can be as simple or as creative as you want it.

Thanks for your help!

From the New Yorker.

AUSTIN (The Borowitz Report)—Republican lawmakers in the Texas State Senate are proposing a precedent-setting new bill that would make it illegal for women to live in the state.

Senator Harland Dorrinson, one of the many pro-life lawmakers backing the woman ban, crafted his bill after witnessing Senator Wendy Davis filibuster an anti-abortion bill last month.

“That was our moment to say, ‘Enough is enough,’ ” he said. “This comes down to a choice between life and women, and we choose life.”

There’s more ….

So, you’ve heard that the GOPpers are taking Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — or food stamps – from the Farm bill.  That’s food for working families who still fall below the poverty level.  Seventeen million children go to bed hungry at night.

Yeah, His Mother Warned Him That His Face Would Stick That Way

When Democrats tried to “revise and extend their remarks” on the bill, something always routinely done with no objection, Louie Gohmert objected.  Loudly. That’s something unheard of.  It means that the division in the House is ugly, mean, and vicious.  Thanks to Louie Gohmert.

“Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks in strong opposition to the farm bill rule and the underlying bill because it will increase hunger in America,” Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) said.

Although requests to “revise and extend” remarks are routine, Gohmert immediate shouted, “Objection!”

Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-IL) next asked permission to “revise and extend” his remarks in opposition to the farm bill “because it takes food nutrition away from working families.”

“Objection!” Gohmert yelled.

Yeah, well, Captain Crazy, we’re even because I have objected to you for years.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

It is my opinion that we jumped from the skillet into the deep fryer when Rick Perry decided not to run for Governor.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott came through the open door.  I do not like Greg Abbott.  At freekin’ all.  I have never liked him and always will.

“I go into the office in the morning, I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home.”

Greg Abbott

He’s as serous as a rattlesnake bite.

He has sued the federal government 27 times, eating up tax dollars on both ends like a digestive system trying to meet in the middle.   The cost for Texas alone is $2.58 million dollars.  And of those 27 cases, he’s only won 5 of them.  He ain’t just an expensive lawyer, he’s a damn bad one.

But, here’s the part that rattles my brain.

In 2004, Greg Abbott launched an effort to strike down the Americans With Disabilities Act because it was “unconstitutional.” Abbott, himself, is in a wheel chair, following an accident when a tree landed on him. Abbott lost the use of his legs, won a $10 million lawsuit settlement — then immediately championed tort reform. In both of these fights, Abbott fought to prevent Texans from enjoying the same disability assistance — financial and regulatory — that he himself has benefit from.

So after he gets his $10 million settlement, he screwed everybody else who gets injured.  If a doctor commits blantant malpractice and because of it, your 3 year old is crippled for life, do you know the most you can collect?  $250,000.

He is the most hatefilled man in Texas.  And, Honey, this is a state where the competition is stiff.

The great political minds have caught up with what everybody has known since Elvis died:  Battleground Texas came here to win this state for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Oddly enough, Hillary holds her own against Rick Perry in Texas.

Texans have adopted the opinion that a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do and woman’s gotta do the rest.

Honey, you put the Clinton political machine and the Obama political machine in the same room and there ain’t  a Republican in the entire United States States of Damn America who can knock on the door.

But, we don’t have to wait until 2016.  We have Wendy Davis, Leticia Van de Putte, Senfronia Thompson, and a whole host of other women to clear the thicket for Hillary by winning statewide now.

Honey, we’re working to make the new State Motto this one.  Texas:  where men are men and women are … in charge.
