The house has already instituted rules and new law that has the government employees union shaking in its boots.

The Holman Rule is the thermonuclear weapon in slashing the size and employment of the bureaucracy. And every single congressman can submit very specific amendments to appropriations bills to do so. There could be hundreds or thousands of such amendments. Normally they could be thwarted easily by committee chairmen and the house leadership. Not any more.

So, for the first time in a very long time, “contacting your congressman” about cuts could be extremely effective.

It literally begins with citizens identifying fraud, waste and unconstitutional actions, and notifying their congressman about them. Right now they are in a great mood to slash and burn.

“The Holman Rule is the thermonuclear weapon in slashing the size and employment of the bureaucracy.”

That’s valuable information. It allows citizens to investigate federal bureaucracies for illegal and questionable actions, and then inform the district congress critter of those bureaucrat deficiencies. Time to get the cameras out.
