The GOP Congress and Senate needs to be made to understand in the most unmistakable ways we can, that their feet are going to be held to the fire, through our unceasing scrutiny and reaction to any show of weakness or intimidation on their part.
One way to do this effectively is for each Congressional District to set-up groups to form a "Legislative Hot Lines" to keep track of issues and legislation. These then, rally telephone networks to call their Congressman, and/or Senator supporting Trump and Conservative issues.
You may have already done this for the primary and general election, but it can be done easily through connecting to existing telephone networks such as Eagle Forum, Conservative Women of America, NRA, Church networks, trade organizations, and of course internet organizations like our own Free Republic.
The key is to keep the message to your elected official simple, direct and to the point. Show strong conviction for what action you want him to take and why. Remember, he/she is there because of you. He is "the Feet and you are the Fire".
You can rally thousands of phone calls around the District, State, and Country this way, which profoundly lets your politician understand, you have not gone away, are watching, and what is expected of him.
You quickly find that sound local organizing down to the precinct level, if you can, then makes you able to interface with others doing the same thing on increasingly broader levels.
We need to do this right away. Right now the GOP is putting on their best "conservative face", but soon as they believe you are not looking, or have lost interest, it'll be back to the old "go along-duck and cover"again.
Not this time. This time it simply too important, It has to work.
Ryan is the weak link, the Ephialtes.
Keep your eye on him.
The ‘rats batted in the top of the 1st and they all struck out.
We are coming up on Jan 20.
We’re the home team.
Leading off, PE Donald J. Trump
GRRRRREATEST PE in the history of the republic. WOOOOHOOOOO TRUMP!
if anyone thinks anything is over, they havent figured out what happened in 2016 yet.
Trump will use the modern Bully Pulpit called “Twitter” and will act as the ultimate party whip. Unlike more recent Republicans in the White House, Trump will go after those who color outside of the lines. I think he needs a chat with McLame and Linda....and soon.
Incumbents still have a 95% retention rate so don’t be surprised if they ignore us.
Hold their feet to the fire? Time to hold their head to the fire.
Ryan & McConnell had better get with the program.
It will be an epic scene watching this mass historic humiliation.
No one has ever came out to the people and explained in everyday English how the so-called incumbents have screwed around with things that would help the American people...
Trump will.....
The only hope of holding any of them accountable for anything starts with lining up primary challengers now.
