Dear Republican Party,
On November 4th the American people spoke with a resounding voice, and voted “no” to President Obama’s Marxist Progressive agenda/tactics. The numbers show the American people gave you a definitive mandate as well.
Democrats are now at their lowest numbers in state legislatures nationwide in 86 years, and Republicans now control more than two-thirds of the state legislative chambers across the country. Republicans have the most seats in the U.S. House of Representatives since before the Great Depression.
Republicans posted one of the top five election year swings in the U.S. Senate in the past 70 years. For the first time in 58 years there will be Republican governors in Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts at the same time. Over 80% of U.S. geography is now represented by Republicans.
The depth and extent of GOP gains were unforeseen by every pollster and pundit that correctly ” predicted the outcome of the 2014 election. That’s because they failed to see two things:
1) The willingness of the conservative base you’ve been battling in recent years to still turn out and turn the tide in several key races.
2) The American people were far angrier with Obama than they were with Republicans; disregarding the fact your 42% approval rating in the latest Gallup poll is the same as the president’s.
Despite claims from liberal media pundits on election night, 2014 was not an anti-incumbent election. Almost all of the Republican incumbents won. In fact, the only Republican governor who lost was the one who raised the gas tax.
However, defiant as ever, the president has reacted to the 2014 election results by threatening a”nti- constitutional executive amnesty for illegal aliens, appointing an Eric Holder clone to succeed him at his renegade Justice department, and to essentially create an Obamacare for the internet.
Even Obama’s chosen architect for his signature legislation has been caught on camera admitting Obamacare wouldn’t have passed without a lack of transparency from Democrats, and the stupidity of the American people. The Obama Regime is nothing if not shameless.
In spite of this president’s repeated efforts to thwart the rule of law, this is still a representative republic. On November 4th the American people did all they can lawfully do to save themselves from Obamaism. They more then went out of their way to change the direction of the country, even electing Republicans to positions of prominence within deep blue states like the president’s own home. There is nothing more the American people can lawfully do that they haven’t already done.
Now it’s up to you to lead.
See, the American people weren’t just sending a message to Obama, they were also sending a ” message to you. And if you refuse to act upon that message, then you will be guilty of defying the will of the people every bit as much as the Marxist Progressive in the White House.
The message from the American people is clear – stop Obama.
Contrary to the cynical claims of the Obama Regime, the American people are not stupid. Therefore, you cannot run ads nationwide reminding voters Obamacare was on the ballot this year and then not do everything you can to save them from it. You cannot send Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) all over the country to rally a wary conservative base to use this election as a means to stop Obama’s illegal executive amnesty scheme, and then not do so.
Despite your lackluster record, we are trusting you again because the future of the country is at stake and you were our only viable alternative. Sometimes you have to fight wars with the soldiers you have.
It is your solemn duty to come up with the remedies that honor the faith the American people have placed in you, not to mention that upholds your sworn oaths of office to defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic.
For Obama cannot unilaterally act lawlessly in our system of government. The separation of powers requires fecklessness on your part to permit it to happen.
Forget what your consultants tell you is politically possible. You’re up against an opponent who doesn’t care about possible, let alone legal. And if this is how this president operates when he had to pretend to care what the American people thought, imagine what boundaries he’ll push these final two years when he does not.
You will not be able to outmaneuver or outlast a Progressive who is hell-bent – literally – on winning a Marxist argument with history. You will have to face him and defeat him. This isn’t about the technocratic tactics you too often obsess over. This is about the only tactic that matters now— survival.
Your courage of conviction is required. History is calling on you to hold the line on American Exceptionalism, so there’s enough liberty left for the next president to hopefully start turning the country back to the vision of the Founding Fathers.
Do your damned job, or you may be the generation Ronald Reagan once warned us about. The one who will have to explain to their children and grandchildren what it was once like here when people were still free.
McConell, Boehner, the American people didn’t vote to take impeachment and government shutdowns off the table.The American people didn’t vote for “comprehensive immigration reform” and they didn’t expand the House majority and give you the Senate because they want democrats and republicans to compromise and work together more. They don’t want make adjustments to Obama care and they don’t want you to rubber stamp Obama’s judges and his black militant attorney general nominee.
Try this don’t fund anything,cut taxes,put a hold on all nominees like the democrats did to Bush,enforce all immigration laws,pass a Constitutional amendment against “ born on the soil citizenship” and submit it to the states, and build the fence.
any confidence in Mitch or boehner to grow a set and stand up to the mookabooker in the white hut?
None, zero, squat.
Okay...that’s one.
I have no hope that our wussy leaders will do one damned thing.
The GOP is all talk and no action. Our only hope is to make sure we elect a patriot in 2016 so they can end this nightmare. Hopefully we will have a good list of illegals, yes illegals is what they are regardless of the Emperors decree,, and use that list of applicants for amnesty to round them up for deportation.
Well said but missing the real lawful weapon we have to start correcting this mess, the Article V Convention of States (CoS). We need to implement the CoS immediately.
I will NEVER VOTE for a republican again should they drop the ball on this one. NEVER AGAIN! That being said, right now I would prefer Joe Biden as leader of this country, he couldn’t screw it up any worse.
REMOVE ODUMBO IMMEDIATELY DAMMIT!

The EXEMPT, who made THEMSELVES and Moslems EXEMPT
for their 911 Atrocity, will DO NOTHING.
They are EXEMPT and relish their beloved King.
If you want to understand how this is going to go, and how this is going to be played, all you have to do is watch Saturday Night Live, and Monday’s “The Daily Show”, folks.
Remember, as Democrats well know, the Sheeple are STUPID, and will do whatever the TV tells them to do.
Well............
The SOAP BOX was a dud.
The BALLOT BOX didn’t work either.
I guess it’s now up to the BULLET BOX.
Sigh.
I think they will...or they will see a new party on the right.
That's cute how some people still think the GOP is interested in anything but serving our corporate overlords.
Republicans now control more than two-thirds of the state legislative chambers across the country.

And what they need to do in States like WI, PA, MI, NV, and VA (to name a few) is change how their States’ Electoral Votes are dispensed. State Legislatures have the right to make that determination. In these states where big cities like Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee give the whole enchilada to the liberal Democrat every 4 years, AWARD EVs ACCORDING TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS...... not a State-wide “winner take all”. That would stick it to Hillary and the ‘Rats big-time.
A better analogy is, he drives the bus and the passengers go where he goes.
You are not alone. Please hammer your state representatives to support the Article V Convention of States. It is the last civil recourse to bring the federal tyrants to heel.
