Today, I pray today for the families and dear friends of every soldier who has given his/her life defending my freedom. Every year we Memorialize those precious people, for a little while, we grieve with the loved ones left behind.
I'd like to ask another thing of each of you today. The people we memorialize paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Their families also paid a horrendous price. I know many FReepers have experienced the loss of beloved friends or family too. If you are like me and not a veteran you may wonder today, “What can I do?”
I got an answer last week when I was requested by fellow Freeper, bitt, to call my Congressmen and let my voice be heard. Almost all of us have a cell phone semi-attached to our bodies. We all have 3 people in Congress who work for us! All calls to legislators are listened to and tallied. Our representatives may not be conservatives but they still keep tabs of the number of constituents calling “for” and “against” each issue. Those legislators are fairly certain that if you are informed enough to call, you vote. Many more people actually vote than ever call a congressman.
We have been blessed with President Donald Trump who is working to Make America Great Again. He is bogged down by this Mueller investigation, he's being hog-tied by Congressmen not passing his legislation and holding up approval on his appointed Federal Judges. The FBI/DOJ are stone-walling on releasing unredacted information lawfully demanded by Representatives Gowdy and Nunes and I'm not hearing my conservative representatives backing them up in their demands for information. We have an election coming up in 5 months and need to assure the integrity of elections, eliminating illegal voting and prosecuting the election fraud perpetrated in 2016. That's a healthy list of things about which we need to have our opinions on record with our Congressmen.
Fellow FReepers, I'm asking for a concerted effort among ourselves for a commitment to calling your U.S. Congressional Representatives once a week. More if you run into an item that needs an immediate call. It took me less than 5 minutes for web searching numbers and calling both my Senators and my Representative. No huge time commitment. President Donald Trump can use our help now getting Congress to move on many items. Make a list. Each call make points of 2 or 3 things on your list and change your talking points each week. Free Republic is full of topics from which to choose.

Please resolve to begin making regular phone calls to your Congressmen. They work for you. Tell them what you want them to do. They are actually employing people with our money to hear our concerns. I believe with both prayer and making these calls we can help President Trump DRAIN THE SWAMP. Thank you.
May God Bless and encompass with protection President Donald Trump and every member of his family. May we always remember those who have served our nation and passed on to a greater life. May we all be vigilant in prayer and love of our country. May God grant us the wisdom restore our nation to the Republic it was founded to be and may we learn to educate our young people in retaining this Republic. Amen
Excellent - We can support the freedom that others fought and died for just by picking up a phone! THANK YOU!
Pinging you to maybe help me get the word out here. Maybe ping some of your ping lists if you think I’ve presented this effort well enough.
Soldiers do their job. We need to do ours by winning the war at home.
Thank you ransomnote, how very true.
We have a weapon in our cell phone! I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you for html assistance today :)
Thank you Salvavida, indeed we do. As an old grandmother I don’t know much I can do but I can wield a mean cell phone. I thank you for your positive comment :)
Amen!
Thank you for your post.
Ping
I meant to ping this earlier. Please excuse the prior thread post.
You are most likely heavily armed with one or more phones in your household. You have backup artillery in the form of email and snail mail. This thread explains how you may deploy your weapons to demand our public servants work for us and expose traitors hiding in plain sight.

No more hiding documents or government based traitors from the public.

Copy this thread link and send to your email list(s) and post on social media. Let’s Roll as they say.
More military veterans running for office. We must check them out and support the ones who are conservative and who we trust It’s way past time to Drain The Swamp and to help President Trump do so and to have his back!!
This is an excellent idea. We need to make this happen.
Definitely plan to call my congressmen. To be honest, I do not know exactly what to say. Need to look over the materials I have been gathering and compose some talking points based on facts the liars can’t dispute. My actual impulse is to call them and tell them off, but that is not constructive.
And, my FRiend W, because of you I have resolved to compose some talking points and post them right here on this thread so that others can utilize them. Congress is not back in session until 5 June, I think.
Thank you.
Thanks for the reminder. We need to do this and not be complacent.
Amen! And yes, its time to make those calls!
We must get out the GOP vote in November.
Many, many thanks.
On it first thing tomorrow.
Thank you laplata, I hope you’ll consider making some call! God Bless you.
Thank you Ransomnote.
I forgot to post that if anyone needs help with how to get started making calls please PM me!
Thank you so much ExTexasRedhead. Must be something about us Texas Redheads. I’m past fed up with the slow moving Congress. We need to light a fire under them.
Yes, I will. Thanks again. It is so important and very easy to do.
Bigg Red. I will be happy to help you (and anyone else) with planning for the calls and what you’ll encounter when you call. I’ll PM you as soon as I’ve fed my brood here.
