Our job was to rally the nation, and our job was to rally the nation and bring people to Washington, D.C. because just by chance if we came together, we would not only get the Senate to hear us. We would also get them to act.

If they steamroll us here in Texas, they’re just going to march all across this country until they have made it very hard for everyone to vote.

My response is the governor had 140 days of a regular session to take care of the people’s business. And he failed to do so, that’s the responsibility he’s going to have to bear.

We have to stand up for our democracy.
