I am a conservative and wish to suggest a poster (signs) campaign for Tea-Party activities in Washington DC and around the country in April, which is----
THE PLUMBER POSTER #01:
"It's Time To Call The Plumber And Flush Out Congress (We Are All Plumbers)"
THE PLUMBER POSTER # 2:
A PLUMBER--- -Plumbs a true and straight course -Cleans Out Debris and Waste -Contains scum in bowls, sinks and tubs -Pipes Out Sewage -Pipes In Clean Water -Replaces old fixtures IT'S TIME TO CALL A PLUMBER TO WASHINGTON DC
------Feel free to use any way you wish. Thanks.
I have been using the two phrases together for many months. The “Drain the Swamp’ is not original, but I coined the “DownSize DC” comment. It has been picked up elsewhere since. I noticed an entity on Twitter with that as an avatar.
Hi, welcome to the FR and the thinking world.
Hubby’s reads
You didn’t write it
You didn’t read it
DON’T PASS IT
My offering is:
CAUTION: I HAVE TEABAGS AND THEY ARE LOADED!
and
HAVE TEABAGS, WILL TRAVEL!
>> The “Drain the Swamp’ is not original,
I believe Pelosi said this before becoming speaker of the house. Jerry Doyle uses the phrase all the time.
See tagline.
“Drain the Swamp”
I am sure the phrase is much older than Pelosi. And I did not know who Jerry Doyle was. (NY conservative talk radio commentator) That shows my lack of knowledge in that part of the nation. (NE)
My thoughts on extending the purscription is:
1. DownSize DC.
2. Eliminate entire departments (start with Education and EPA).
3. Move the worthwhile functions back to the States.
4. Force Congress & Senate to telecommute most of the year from their home district, away from the lobbyists.
This would change the center-of-gravity of government.
Texas Legislature meets every 2 years unless called into Special Session. It has worked well for us.
Why would anyone want to use one of those? I think most of us are creative enough to come up with things on our own.
Time to REDUCE OUR GOVERNMENT FOOTPRINT.
Be envirementally correct; RECYCLE CONGRESS
“I don’t care about draining the swamp; I want to flush the toilet.”
Stop the Endless War - Against America!

They'd either ignore it or run it with file footage and a mockingly low crowd estimate.
Expect guys with purple tee-shirts under their coats to be yelling the N-word and calling for the death of various dems while the driveby media calls them “The hateful, strident, racist voice of the TEA Party Movement”.
