DarkVein's Journal: Texas State Senators Exiled

Taking a page (or two) from Roman history, eleven of thirty-one Texas State Senators have fled Texas. Initially they left to boycott a second "emergency session" to pass unprecedented district redistribution plans, but now they'll face arrest if they return to Texas. Meanwhile, in Texas, the Governor intends to discard the 2/3 majority requirement for the vote. The detailed story was sent to MoveOn.org by Texas State Senator Rodney Ellis. MoveOn is hosting a contribution fund for the exiled senators.
