This tweet came out yesterday after a historic filibuster from Texas Senator Wendy Davis. Her filibuster was on an abortion bill that would all but ban abortion in the state of Texas. Wendy Davis took on a 12 hour filibuster to kill the legislation. Immediately you could find photos of Wendy Davis like this one:

As the clock got closer and closer she fought on more and more. A remarkable moment in American History. According to a report from thinkprogress.org The GOP of Texas attempted to shut down her filibuster by using a very strict three strikes policy dealing with how you are to filibuster in the Senate. They even took a vote despite her filibuster. Turns out though according to the Huffington Post that vote was taken and recorded at 12:03 a.m. A tweet was sent out by Cecile Richards saying:

The official vote was recorded at 12:03 a.m. Know why? Because of you. #StandWithWendy #SB5 #TXLege

This is truly one of the most single important moments in our history. It was truly amazing. What is also amazing is that her Senate seat was saved by The Voting Rights Act according to an article in HuffPo.  
Now I can't say anything awesome with the Voting Rights Act but something amazing happened in Texas. Update today is Rick Perry is calling a special session to deal with the other "bills that weren't presented" due to Wendy Davis and her Epic filibuster. Also today the Supreme Court found the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. For once something awesome, Democracy is at the top of the list.
