My congressman, Walberg, was the third to speak. Amazingly, he made it back to Michigan to meet with his constituents this morning. I got to talk with him for over an hour — he’s one of the GREAT ones we need to keep in DC. He said that citizens were being brought onto the HOUSE FLOOR by the GOP congressmen as their guests! Since cameras weren’t allowed they’d go out into the halls to talk with the press, and that’s partially how word got out they were holding an after-hours “session.” Dem pages were sent in to remove all the water glasses so Tim’s voice was still hoarse today.
We need more like Tim Walberg and Mike Pence!
If your congressman is not listed, then write, call, and insist that he or she get on the next plane and join these patriots.
This is a national security issue of the highest level. We are being held hostage by oil cartels and the only way to fight is to ensure that we have enough oil so that we can tell them to go pound sand (as if they have anything else to pound in those hell holes).
You forgot to add my guy, Todd Platts, to that list. He was on his way home to York yesterday, heard about what was going on (probably via Rush), turned around, returned to the House, and joined the revolt.
