Long filibuster against Texas abortion limits suspended - CBS News

13 hours ago ... Lt. governor halts Democratic State Sen. Wendy Davis' effort to block GOP-led measures, but Democrats moved quickly to appeal the decision.

Has any woman politician in the history of US government ever successfully filibustered?

Long enough to defeat a bill?

If so, who was it, and what was the bill?

Also, do you think State Senator, Wendy Davis, (D-Ft Worth) now in her 6th hour filibustering, will be successful? What is your prediction and thoughts?

How do I get an agent?

I know Id probably have to live in either LA or NY to get an agent. Im thinking and planning on living in California next fall and I was wondering how I go about getting and agent? And I dont want any John Robert Powers crap that isnt real.
I know you can send your resume and headshot to an agency but tons of people send their photo and resume and so those just get cast aside. Im talking about like auditions for agents and casting calls.

Answer: To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won’t see you unless you’re SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.

You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them. By showcase I do not mean scammy conventions like IMTA, IPOP, Proscout, or Best New Talent. I mean legit ones like at Actor Connection, Reel pros, Network Studios, etc.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you’re interested in

DON’T
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT’S UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent’s ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

Scene Study/Acting (It varies. Some schools are not for everyone. Chubbuck, Eric Morris, and Howard Fine are not for people who aren't fans of Strasberg or Uta Hagen (ie. affective memory and substitution.) Playhouse West, Joanne Baron/DW Brown, and Acting Corps are more Meisner oriented. Try to audit these places and make sure if they're for you or not.

How to feel comfortable sexually after past abuse?

When I was young (4ish) I was sexually abused by my father. In my teens, I was emotionally and physically abused. Ive had good relationships but have never been comfortable with my boyfriends sexually (I would shy away and have flashbacks of abuse).

My current relationship is wonderful and were heading towards engagement. Hes very understanding of my past and never pushes me into anything uncomfortable. But how can I overcome my sexual "roadblock"? I am seeing a counselor, and its helping slowly, but I wanted to see if anybody had any advice. Thanks!

Answer: Hi Susan,

there are a couple of good books that deal specifically with intimacy and healing for survivors of sexual abuse;

The Survivor's Guide to Sex - Staci Haines
Incest and Sexuality - Wendy Maltz and Beverly Holman
The Courage to Heal - Ellen Bass and Laura Davis

There is also some information on the SECASA website www.secasa.com.au you might find useful.

I hope this helps.

Why on earth would a woman want to abort her baby 20 weeks into pregnancy?

I just heard about Wendy Daviss efforts to kill the proposed bill that would make it illegal for a woman to get an abortion after 20 weeks in Texas. My question is, why would any woman (with the exception of women who are forced to abort for medical reasons) need to wait 20 f*cking weeks to decide whether or not they want to have their baby? 5 months should be more than enough time to decide and as a woman myself I could not imagine being so incompetent as to wait so long to make the decision.
I dont think its possible to not show ANY symptoms for 5 months because thats almost halfway through the pregnancy and unless it is some kind of special case a woman would know well before that.

Time will tell if his plan works and we are with him on this, but. Is it now time we got serious about telling our president that we DO NOT want any more war and to bring the troops home? The savings would be worth the higher oil prices (opps)

And why the hell do we need gitmo and bases all over the world? Isn’t it time we made some serious defense cuts?

Answer: Excuse did you listen to the same Pie in the Sky Speech, with his yelling to Pass this bill? What specifics are in the bill? It is weird to see Obama's lap dog GE CEO, asking for tax increase when GE did not pay a sent in corporate income tax!

If Mr Buffet would like to donate money to the federal government no one is stopping him, but he is not rushing to do that.

Did you notice he only toss applause bones to his UNION friends, Road Construction, School Teacher, City Building contractors> --- Not a peep about repealing Davis Bacon which makes taxpayers to spend more for labor then the market price --- the law was racist in the 1930 and it still is.

Being yell at for 45 minutes is not compromise it was my way or the highway with his media and Democrats singing the Hallelujah Chorus. Listen to him! I was hearing the Wendy's commercial from the 1980's WHERE'S the BEEF? The evils of most laws is not is their selling to the unwashed public but in the minute details of the "regulations ordered by the secretary."

He is going to pay for this with HIGHER TAXES.

Better Idea JUST STOP SPENDING.

Also why will Korea not have big Chevrolet on their highways, because the size of S Korea is a bit bigger than Indiana and has 48.8 million people. Big boats will not do well.

Why is the PRC building high speed rail, because of it population density Trains work well in densely populated countries --- the USA is not densely populated.

Yes, the MSM was spinning this Sermon but it was mostly flim flam by a tent preacher barking to his shills.

Texas Democratic Senator Wendy Davis Filibuster Abortion | Mediaite

Texas Democratic state senator Wendy Davis is fighting to block the state legislature from passing a restrictive abortion bill by launching a thirteen-hour filibuster ending at midnight, when the session ends. Her one-woman ...

What are the better hollywood acting agencies for new commers?

Answer: Starting out you're NOT going to get with The Big 4 (ICM, UTA, CAA, William Morris/Endeavor) or the B Agencies (Gersh, Paradigm, Innovative, Don Buchwald, Stone Manners, etc.).

To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won’t see you unless you’re SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.

You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them. By showcase I do not mean scammy conventions like IMTA, IPOP, Proscout, or Best New Talent. I mean legit ones like at Actor Connection, Reel pros, Network Studios, etc.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you’re interested in

DON’T
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT’S UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent’s ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

Will Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis be able to filibuster the abortion bill?

Sen. Wendy Davis (D) must speak nonstop for 13 hours – without bathroom breaks or leaning on anything – if she wants to halt passage of a major abortion bill that would solidify Texas’ status on a growing list of states passing restrictive abortion measures.

Can she do it?

Answer: does the texas bill include exceptions for rape and incest?

How does a filibuster stop a bill from passing?

I know a filibuster is when somebody wastes time talking about nothing so a bill doesnt get to the senate floor to vote. But everybody online is saying that what Texas just did is illegal because they arent allowed to vote on it after Wendy Davis filibusters. Why not? I thought it was just a time-waster and people could vote later? I read a post that says that it is illegal for the Texas Senate to vote on the bill for another two years because thats the next time they meet. Why is the Texas senate only meeting every two years?


"she can continue talking about abortion until 11:59 tonight, the bill won’t reach Governor Perry, and they would have to start all over with the bill next time they meet- 2 years from now."
^ Thats what I read


Give me straight up facts because I actually want to know this kind of stuff about government. Dont be biased just based off this whole Wendy Davis thing, because this is what Im using it learn about government in general. I know Ran Paul recently filibustered also.
Thanks jacara. Perfect answer
Weird because everyone on Tumblr is so fired up about this. Literally every single post is about this and on yahoo answers, I am the only one.

Answer: Some states only call the State Senate for special sessions, otherwise they only meet once a year or every two years. This was a Special Session, that was called for 30 days, this is the 29 day of the 30 days, and if no vote is taken then the bill in question has to wait 2 years before it can be considered again under TX Senate Law.

Edit: They can call a Special Session to attempt to change the Senate rules but that is notoriously hard to do in TX.

NY is also this way with Special Session regarding its State Constitution, if they say wanted to remove the Marriage equality from their constitution, they have to assemble a Special Session, and there is a minimum wait of 2 years for that.

How do i find a free talent agency in los angeles?

Do i need to pay money to show the world my talent?

Wendy Davis, Texas Democrat, Fights Abortion Bill With 13-Hour ...

10 hours ago ... A Democratic state senator in Texas plans to speak for 13 straight hours without a bathroom break on Tuesday in order to kill a bill that would ...

Do you think Texas Sen. Wendy Davis will successfully filibuster the proposed abortion ban today?

I think shell be able to do it. 13 hours is tough, but that woman is even tougher. I dont think Rick Perry would call yet another special session because it would be strictly ON abortion if he did. And thats too much negative publicity.

After this, though, I really think Davis will run for either governor or US Senate.

Answer: I hope so, but talking for 13 hours is tough. She needs testimonies from real people to read out. You can contribute your story here:

What are good commercial talent agencies in Los Angeles?

Looking for new agent, please help.

Answer: UFDAD is giving you BAD Information. The agencies that he's listed ONLY take CELEBRITIES. Also, Endeavor doesn't exist. It merged with William Morris. You're wasting your money if you're mailing to those agencies without a CELEBRITY/INDUSTRY endorsement.

To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won’t see you unless you’re SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.

You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them. By showcase I do not mean scammy conventions like IMTA, IPOP, Proscout, or Best New Talent. I mean legit ones like at Actor Connection, Reel pros, Network Studios, etc.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you’re interested in

DON’T
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT’S UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent’s ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.
