Then we need to keep the pressure on them. Let’s keep them to their word. Contact those congressmen, tell your friends and family to do the same, and let them know that we will stand behind them for as long as it takes. This is our economic national security at stake here, and it’s about time to do something about this. If they are going to “say” that they’ll stay there until the vote is cast, let’s hold them to it so we know they are serious about this. It’s time to expect more from our representatives and be able to believe what they say, and, let’s not forget, it would make a big impact on conservatives and Republicans all across the country. Look at how excited and jazzed up everyone is after just five hours Republican chutzpah. Show up on Monday, talk all day, and people are going to notice, and then we can get some real momentum.

Let’s see them do that, and then let’s see how we can lend support to them. I know most of us have jobs or seeking to acquire one soon, so we are at a disadvantage to the Democrat masses in the available numbers sense, but how quickly could we organize a joint protest with the Republicans? We wouldn’t all necessarily have to take 5 weeks off from work. Organize it right, and I bet you could find a good number of people (couple thousand at least) willing to donate a couple days over the next five weeks to travel to Washington and sit in the House Chamber (if able) with the Republicans, while they give their speeches or just talk with the attendees about ideas, and have a true “national” town hall meeting. Ball gets rolling just right, and you may have protesters spilling onto the street.

I have no idea how to do this, but it starts with a campaign this weekend to get as many of those representatives back to Washington on Monday.

There’s energy in the air. Let’s take advantage of it.
