10. Because Abbott was going to continue to create Special Sessions

Our Texas Democrats were fined $500 per day. They left the state to draw awareness to this situation. They are not cowards they are in fact heroes for taking the drastic measures to inform Americans what is happening here. I’m a 5th generation Texas and the republicans have made Texas a “shithole” state. I know several Representatives that are directly affected by this regerrymandering from republicans who hate democracy.

They left Texas to get support from other states to find a solution to this madness.

And then to punish them further with House Arrest. This is what Democratic Texans are up against.
