"Senator Wendy Davis visited the University of Houston to give a speech detailing corruption in the state of Texas. She appropriately excoriated Attorney General and Gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott for his role in a sort of pay to play in Austin, Texas."

"The bottom line is Greg Abbott doesn’t want Texans to know if there are hazardous substances in their neighborhoods because his donors paid him off to keep that information secret."

Texas Republican Greg Abbott Tries to Bury His Court Fight With 600 School Districts in the Past
www.politicususa.com/2014/04/30/texas-republican-greg-abbott-bury-court-fight-600-school-districts.html
"However, as the Davis campaign’s fact checkers and the Texas media have shown, Abbott’s ideas on education amount to more of the same unequal education that he is fighting with 600 school districts over in court. Texas children are already living with the consequences of an unequal education with crowded classrooms, fewer teachers and closed schools. The future that Abbott offers is, at best, more of the same. The more likely scenario is a further decline in education for most of Texas’ children."

Women Republicans Try To Explain Why Women Don't Need Equal Pay
Women Republicans Try To Explain Why Women Don't Need Equal Pay
"Using women as campaign surrogates was expected to help Abbott better relate to women voters’ needs. Unfortunately, Abbott’s campaign spokeswomen aren’t any better at addressing the GOPs failure when it comes to women’s equality, especially economically."

While Republicans Try To Send Women Back to The Kitchen, Obama Fights For Equal Pay
www.politicususa.com/2014/03/22/republicans-send-women-kitchen-obama-fights-equal-pay.html
"While the president is fighting for equal pay, this week alone we have seen a fundraiser for Mitch McConnell say that wives have an obligation to have sex with their husbands, and Texas Republican candidate for governor Greg Abbott vow to veto the state’s equal pay bill, while he is paying women in his office even less than the 77 cents on the dollar national average. Speaker of the House John Boehner refuses to bring the Paycheck Fairness Act to the House floor for a vote, and Republicans at every level of government are making denying women equal pay a staple of their agenda."

Wendy Davis’ Opponent Texas AG Greg Abbott Also Pays Minorities Less than Whites
www.politicususa.com/2014/03/21/women-screwed-republican-greg-abbott-pays-minorities-whites.html
"If the office were run by a Hispanic woman who paid other Hispanic women higher than white men with the same qualifications, Fox News would be running an endless scream fest about how white men are being targeted in Texas. But since it’s just minorities and women, who are supposed to know where they belong, well, this questioning is “irresponsible”."

Greg Abbott Falls into Wendy Davis’ Trap, Admits He Would Veto Equal Pay in Texas
www.politicususa.com/2014/03/19/greg-abbott-falls-wendy-davis-trap-admitting-veto-equal-pay-texas.html
"It’s the War of the Roses and Greg Abbott’s new tactic is to stop hiding that his office doesn’t pay women equally. Now he’s just coming out with it — doubling down on misogyny. After Greg Abbott (R-TX) was busted for claiming to support equal pay but paying the women in his office less than men for the same jobs, he finally admitted that he would veto equal pay in Texas."

"This isn’t the only issue Abbott is silent on, he’s also avoiding discussing equal pay for women. Here’s a clue: When a Texas Republican won’t discuss their stance on women’s issues, it’s probably not good"

Wendy Davis Obliterates Ted Nugent and Greg Abbott With Blistering New Ad
www.politicususa.com/2014/02/27/wendy-davis-obliterates-ted-nugent-greg-abbott-blistering-ad.html
"Do the women and men of Texas think it is representative of their values to have the Republican candidate for governor getting cozy with a sexual predator? If Greg Abbott has no qualms about buddying up with Ted Nugent, he’ll also won’t hesitate to accelerate the extremist anti-women agenda in the state of Texas."

Dirty Tricksters in Texas Target Wendy Davis
Dirty Tricksters in Texas Target Wendy Davis
"My guess is that the funding for the calls comes via Empower Texans, a group connected with Texas oil interests and James Leininger, an ultra-right wing billionaire who functions as sugar daddy for the religious righties in Texas. A quick review of independent expenditure reports through February 4th shows that they're paying for robocalls in several Texas districts."

Sandra Fluke, Wendy Davis, And How The Fight For Reproductive Rights Is Inspiring Women To Run For Office
www.thinkprogress.org/health/2014/02/04/3243681/sandra-flukes-congress-reproductive-rights/
"Republicans are gearing up to emphasize their opposition to reproductive rights — in fact, at the most recent Republican National Convention, GOP delegates passed a resolution declaring that candidates should not stay silent on their anti-choice views. But progressive candidates may be prepared to meet them head on."

"Here's 'Bush's Brain' with the latest round of attacks on Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. Keep in mind this is the same man who encouraged George W. Bush to go buy that campaign prop of a ranch down in Crawford, Texas."
