To: Second Amendment First

The part about dropping the bill because of some Republicans not voting for it, is pure BS. There aren’t enough Republicans in the Senate to stop anything. I will bet the main reason he is dropping it is because some dems have filed to have the entire thing read on the floor and he doesn’t want to waste time so as to cram more of his left wing disaster onto the American people.

Some republican senators “dropped off in the last few days” had some effect, maybe a 60 vote threshold, with dems falling off here or there. The Republican senators caught an earful for earmarking and for the tax bill goo goo bar to the libs, I know that.

Maybe more of us picked up the dang phone against the tax bill than I suspected, and then turned around today and came back at them on the OmnibusT Bill also. We have to stay on the phones or we’re going down.
