I am unable to go to Austin today and that makes me mad as the dickens.  As you probably know, there is ice flowing in my veins, and I’d hate to give up being a warm blooded creature and lose my career as a semi-famous minor local  E-list celebrity.  Okay, that was an overstatement.  We’ll go with “person vaguely known at the local grocery store.”

So, since the weather in Austin is unwelcoming to cold blooded creatures, I’m leaving it to my younger sisters to go fight the good fight.  They have promised to text me during the day and send pictures.

I’ll post first hand updates here and update it throughout the day.

You go, Girlfriends!

UPDATE:  They encouraged women to show up at 7:00 this morning to sign up to testify.  In this case, the blue shirts are the bad guys and the orange shirts are the good guys.  Rumor had it that the blue shirted government control people were going to be let in first.  So … orange shirts lined up outside the capitol, trying to get in the speak at 7:00 this morning.

UPDATE#2 (11:20) My friend and Matagorda County Democratic Chairman Nora Dearing sent this picture of the line waiting to get into the hearing room.

And her ticket showing that she is in Group #9 to testify.  She is going to have a loooong wait.

Nora says it’s pretty peaceful so far but she did see a sign saying Ohio Supports Pro-Life Texas.  She says the number of blue and orange shirts are about even.
