I love the HFC! And am in regular contact with my congress critter, who is a founding member. I will contact with my thanks on Monday.
People here on FR are really getting emotional and targeting the wrong group, IMO. This is our best chance EVER to get rid of Paul Ryan. Responsibility for this process fiasco rests entirely on his shoulders, and he knows it. I think he will fire himself, and Trumps fingerprints won’t be on it because he gave him all the rope he could.
I suggest the people who have never actually spoken to one of the HFC members live don’t know what the hell they are talking about. Lots of disinformation today.
The HFC guys put the brakes on lots of bad stuff before it makes it into law. They’ve forced changes in legislation in our favor. By “our,” I mean freedom loving, small government conservatives. For the most part, HFC members are Republican-libertarians. They focus mainly on reducing the power of the fedgov, and work largely behind the scenes. But they are effective, and make no mistake, are beholden to no one, including the Koch brothers.
(Although I reject the premise that having the Koch brother’s backing is some kind of bad thing. That’s moveon.org-type crap)
Before people continue to make fools of themselves, I suggest reading the short wikkipedia article on them for a start:

They are the good guys.
They are the good guys.

I know that and you know that and taxcontrol knows that, but there are so many freepers that don’t that it is scary.
They want to keep the slimy RINOs and get rid of the good guys. smh
