something about Lowes and other similar stores running out of tar and pillow manufactures running out of feathers.

And missing rail ties.

Kansans want to see the whites of your eyes.

Face us and tell us what a crappy job your doing for Americans and Kansans.

That’s ok...we’ll protest at their offices and at their homes. They’ll hear from us and then on 09/12 we’ll protest at the capital and WH...maybe 500,000 to a million strong. We will not sit back and let them socialize our country!

We should encourage people to stand guard at their local offices and collect all of the letters of protest and offer to film anyone that wants to leave a video message for their congress slime person.

Maybe we can block their doors with an avalanche of letters? We would need to make sure that the people are trustworthy as the Marxists would show up and trash the letters. If their offices are closed, take the letters home so that they would be secure. Deliver them to the office when they open up.

But they are still willing to ram through health care, cap and tax, etc.

They really do think they are above needing to be accountable to their voters.

I guess only time will tell when they come up for re-election or or not if they get away with this.

But knowing how dumb voters are and willing to forgive their elected official who knows. Otherwise how could they continue to get re-elected over and over.
