Enough with the words, it’s time to put teeth or action into effect. If Democrats are going to bolt every time they have a distasteful vote then shut off their paychecks! Put them in cuffs. People who flee their state and job are known to have quit their positions so it makes sense to stop their pay. When they return, the cuffs will be at the border. They can’t stay away forever unless they quit or abdicate their post.
Democrats can play dirty tricks
If the Republican sticks to his or her guns, we can too. If the Democrats DO stay away, replacements for their position will need to be found.
Governor Greg Abbott was on The Ingraham Angle and said, “Once they step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol and we will be conducting business.” If they want to party, it needs to be done on their own time, not the people’s.
Democrats whining about the minorities
The narrative must be kept up. Among other things they’re protesting, minorities have to have identification to do basic things. If you can’t drive, there’s still a basic state ID that anybody can and needs to have.
This has been done twice on the same bill. The governor should keep their feet to the fire. Democrats can’t permanently block this, at least at this level. It has to be federal. Governor Abbott reminded, “We have special sessions that last 30 days. And the governor calls them, and I will continue calling special session after special session because over time it is going to continue until they step up to vote.”
Democrats maybe looking to Biden
They flew or rode a bus stocked with beer to Washington, DC to thump their chests and ask Biden to save them. Rep. Chris Turner declared, “We are determined to kill this bill.”
Democrats pleaded for Congress to pass federal legislation as soon as possible. They’ll stay in Washington to run out the clock. The For The People Act is the only way they can block this but Republicans filibustered it. So Biden, are you going to take out your pen like Obama did?
Texans Oppose Walkouts to Avoid Votes.
No one else gets paid to walk off their job.
Quitters never win.
We will continue successive Special Sessions until elected representatives do what they were elected to do—debate issues & cast votes.https://t.co/egrVh6zCbF via @TPPF

Democrats must get back to the job they were elected to do.
Their constituents must not be denied important resources simply because their elected representatives refused to show up to work. pic.twitter.com/dGC9DceRaZ

Texas Democrats' decision to break a quorum of the #txlege inflicts harm on the Texans who elected them to serve.
As they fly across the country on cushy private planes, they leave undone issues that can help their districts & our state.
It's time to get back to work. pic.twitter.com/XE8VcgOFhs
