10. The 2011 Texas Legislature, coming to order in the Spring of odd years, changed and supported

new district lines. (The legislature adjourns at the end of Spring of odd years.) The changes have been in and out of several courts since the end of the last session, Spring of 2011. Thanks for clarification on the court dates and rulings.

Last time the matter came out of court, in my opinion, a challenge was not needed in Ms Davis's district, because, the GOP promoted the removal of women rights to say no (in case of rape and other offensive issues that result) in the national elections, which includes Texas Conservatives.

There is the Blunt Amendment which would remove a woman's right to contraception.

Women vote in secrecy, is why I brought up contraception. Do men carry babies in their uterus? Oh, they do not have one. Women do not excuse men. Look for many Conservative Women to vote for President of the United States in the privacy and secrecy of the voting booth in the near future just like they did in the battle on November 6, 2012. And all of this is an extension of the war won in 1920. Please remember that, "The Pill," became available to women in the 1960s. Thanks for supporting women and our daughters.

The Texas Legislature meets again this Spring of 2013. Also on November 6, many red counties went pink even though a Red RW Extremist was elected to the US Senate to represent Texas. What a mismatch. I believe his voting record will be in opposition to the new Texas that is just waking up and becoming empowered. I believe that the TEA Texas Legislators voting record will be in opposition to the new Texas that is just waking up.
