Texas State Rep. Alex Dominguez, D-Brownsville, walks the halls of Congress conferring with U.S. Rep Fil Vela , D-TX 34th District, on the passage of John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Dominguez was one of the 52 Texas House Democrats who went to Washington to break quorum and block the passage of voting restriction legislation and a right-wing agenda pushed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during consecutive special sessions in Austin.

State Rep. Alex Dominguez, D-Brownsville, said Wednesday he planned to remain at the U.S. Capitol despite the civil arrest warrants that Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan signed Tuesday evening for the 52 House Democrats who broke quorum and left the state July 12.
Dominguez is one of four Texas House Democrats from the Rio Grande Valley that said they left the state for the Capitol to protect voting rights in Texas.
The three other Valley reps, Bobby Guerra, D-McAllen, Armando “Mando” Martinez, D-Weslaco, and Eddie Lucio III, D-Brownsville, remained mum Wednesday on their whereabouts. They did not return repeated attempts to reach them for comment as of press time.

“Given what people of all backgrounds, Black, Hispanic, Asian, women and others have endured to ensure the right to vote, an arrest warrant seems of little consequence,” Dominguez said Wednesday, adding that he and the other 51 members of the Democratic caucus had always been prepared to have an arrest warrant issued against them to try to force them to return to Austin.
Democrats left Austin, he said, because Republicans refused to negotiate in good faith on voting legislation during the regular session.
"The Republican leadership fully knows that this is voter suppression,” Dominguez said. “We’re still trying to negotiate with them and they still refuse. It let us know that the other side is not willing to play fair.”

Why would Vela flee to Washington to break quorum like you state on the photo's caption?
The lard ass Barton published his wife Ana is a coauthor of his blog. I sent it to DA Blimp and he is too much of a coward to hold Ana accountable for Barton's posts. A real man fights.
He's in Mar-A-Mierda retreat with el pendejo trumputo...
I am disappointed that the two Cameron county area people voted to work for us, aren’t working. If you don’t like the Bill, then vote against it. Holding the state hostage is unfair, illegal (warrants) and wastes time. This is criminal behavior, not what Cameron voters were asked to sign up for at the polls.
COWARDS....
Jim "Manteca" Barton is the Big, Fat Zero. Ese guey le hecho madres a nuestro Pedro Cardenas y que se gano, el mantecon.
Nima.
vato soflamero!!!
Da Blimp is disbarred!
Still, he writes on his dead blog today: As an attorney you do not want your client running their mouth as to strategy.
He's not an attorney. Vato presumido, le faltan cesos, o que.
"As an attorney," my ass.
Lucio looks like bozo the clown
🤡
Yep, they want to protect the right to vote illegally.
Brownsville and the rest of Cameron county lack infrastructure.
Blame it to our State rep and sen, county and City officials.
Thank you elected officials!
Cameron county residents will vote you out.
Nobody wants to visit the poorest county in the nation.
Move La Pulga downtown. No difference.
What kind of weak, ineffectual, feeble man attacks another man's wife?
Limp-dicked, impotent Duardo?
Have you heard of the fiasco of Ludy Fischer and Frederick Fischer. They’re going through a hellish divorce ( Robert Sanchez involved) She’s spilling all the dirty secrets to McHale. They meet up and she gives him police reports and who knows what else. She’s so stupid getting involved with McHale. They warned you, Ludy.
Filemon Vela is the main instigator into this set-up corrupt attempt .
Did he give Dominguez instruction as to what he wanted him to do to continue his corruption as congressman ,while he is now with the Biden Administration? Remember he disrespected former President Trump and told him to shove the border wall up his ass. Leaves one to wonder as to what he has planned up his ass. Keep in mind that he was with Salomon Ortiz, who was involved in Brownsville Bridge to NOWHERE. He then came out of nowhere and was elected as congressman. Is this Dominguez guy following Filemon Vela's instructions?
This is my opinion
Lucio
Pro-life until you're born.
Pro-death as soon as you're born,..... guns, guns,...
will not protect you if you turn out to be gay.
Why do we keep voting for USELESS career represantives???!! They do nothing for us!!
I pray for the day Brownsville like Mcallen votes for a Republican as mayor. We can see the huge difference between Brownsville and Mcallen.
LUCIO's....DINO's...Democrats In Name Only.
I don't care how you vote, but stop lying by taking advantage of the party you supposedly represent, because all you are doing is stealing their votes and then vote with the other side. ..
You say you vote your conscience and your religion ?Remember?....
*Bridge to Nowhere?
*Gallegos Fiasco Lucio III ?
I'm sure there are more skeletons in your closets.
You seem to pick and choose what you want, but you forget a few others.
**Thou shalt not steal
*Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods
If you're gay que te proteja tu mayate!
