several texas lawmakers are in washington dc after leaving their state to protest greg abbott's special pledge light of session to approve several republican voting bills. >> i am here with these people of >> i am here with these people of courage, these feed him -- these freedom fighters who came to washington dc to fight. they will not be able to get the governor of texas to protect the voting rights of the people of texas. we know that instead of trying to make it easier for people to vote, the governor and republicans in legislature have done everything to make it harder including threatening these legislators over and over again and they are standing their ground just as we are standing our ground. we know what the texas -- ours. we know what the texas bill will do, and this is a concerted effort as senator warren awful tell you, thiss going on across the country. we now have 22 laws to obstruct voting enacted in 14 states, with the texas senate passage of sb one yesterday. a total of 32 bills to roll back the rights to vote have passed at least one chamber of the legislature. so w

many of us, over 50 democrats left texas to come to washington dc and support the effort to pass before the people act. we left our families, our full-time jobs to be here and make sure that everybody has that chance to have their voices heard. let me tell you something . governor abbott would have you think that voting is reserved for those who are members of an exclusive club. but voting is not for just the elite. voting is for the people. and that's why we need the for the people act. i remember rosa parks saying she didn't ask for all this but she didn't realize what she was doing when she refused to give up her seat and some of us may not understand the gravity and impact that we are making across this nation. but it is a great movement just like she started and we're going to continue that. we invite those that senator klobuchar mentioned, those states under attack, join us in washington. take a stand for democracy. let senators know that we support their effort to pass the for the people act because without this we will be silenced and we will not have the opportunity to have mod
