Austin, Texas August 6th, 2003: Texas leaders, including Governor Rick Perry, meet with the press for the second day in a row Tuesday to plead for the return of eleven Senate Democrats who are holed up in a New Mexico hotel to block a congressional redistricting bill. Perry announced the signing of an executive order to release $700 million to Texas schools that could previously not be done without the Democrat's presence in Austin. ©Bob Daemmrich
