Now 126 Representatives Supporting Texas-Led Trump Lawsuit. Where are the Others? What about your Representative?
Forbes ^ | December 11, 2020 | Andrew Solender

Another 20 House Republicans have been added to an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton aimed at overturning the results of the presidential election, a sign of the enormous political pressure on GOP lawmakers to back President Trump’s long-shot legal efforts.

The 126 lawmakers join 17 Republican state attorneys general who filed their own amicus brief supporting the lawsuit, 6 of whom are seeking to join the case and 10 of whom met with Trump at the White House on Thursday.

I encourage all Freepers to find out if your GOP rep is supporting this lawsuit, and if he/she isn't, start putting on the pressure. Call, write, email, and put on the pressure. Remind him/her that he/she is up for re-election in two short years.

I emailed my representative last night asking why he wasn’t on the list.

Today he was on it.

Perhaps yesterday it was a “clerical error.”

I can’t be sure.

Just sent a message to our GOP rep, Don Bacon. He was quoted on the news last night as saying he would not join. Told him I hope he is primaried by a better candidate in 2022, and we would never have voted for him, had we thought he would not support POTUS.

If they feared Americans as much as they feared the anti-Americans, we might get better response.

Found out this morning that mine is. Verbally at least if not actually filing.

Someone lit a fire under the MN GOP and conservatives in the State legislature are ringing the fraud bell for all they are worth.

You don’t think we legitimately voted for Franken/Dayton/Walz/etc do you?

Paul Gosar, AZ-4, has not signed it yet. He is one of the most conservative members of Congress and staunch defender of President Trump.

Good idea. How can I find out if my congressman Pete Olson signed?

I should have checked before posting. Gosar was exposed to CV-19 because he sat behind Guiliani in Arizona and went into isolation.
