Did you call your congress critter with specific instances? Did you encourage your friends to do the same? Did you call daily for months? Did you push it on social media?

So, when do people start losing their jobs and going to jail?

I wanna know when we take a stand in this country. We should be surrounding IRS buildings en masse and daring those traitors to come out.
