This will be a very short one but I wanted to say congrats to State Senator and gubernatorial candidate, Wendy Davis (D. TX):

MOST VALUABLE STATE LEGISLATOR: Wendy Davis
State Senator Wendy Davis captured the imagination not just of her fellow Texans but of the nation in June, when she put on her now-famous sneakers to filibuster for eleven hours against anti-choice legislation. Despite a massive “Stand With Wendy” outpouring of popular support, the Republicans eventually got their way, after Texas Governor Rick Perry and his allies called the legislature back into session. But perhaps not for long: Davis is running an insurgent Democratic campaign that says it’s time for the home state of Ann Richards to elect another pro-choice governor. - The Nation, 12/18/13
As a way of congratulating Davis, please do consider donating or getting involed with her campaign:
