00:00I'm Marianne Aitner from NBC here in Chicago.
00:02So what does that mean exactly?
00:04What is your commitment financially if they're here for two weeks and maybe return again?
00:10Can you give us a little more detail on what logistics mean?
00:14Well, I know that you're all interested in whether I'm writing checks to this.
00:19Let me be clear.
00:21You're saying, of course, but let me be clear.
00:23I have stood with the Texas House Democrats.
00:26We have been in consultation for weeks and weeks.
00:31This possibility was always something that we feared.
00:35And I made it clear to them that we'd do everything that we could, logistically and otherwise, to try to support them.
00:41I have not written a check or supported them financially, though I am not reticent to do that.
00:46But I have not done that.
00:47But lots and lots of people around the country have.
00:50Lots of people.
00:51And you can go to TexasDemocrats.com slash donate and give money to support this and the efforts of Texas Democrats across the state.
01:00Has your Think Big America donated?
01:02I noticed you guys had some messages coming out.
01:06No.
01:06Again, I know you all are interested in that.
01:09But no.
