He's been TRYING to do something for over two years.

Such as meeting with Harry Reid instead of John Cornyn to get the amnesty/guest worker bill through the Senate?

Stop trashing HIM and work on your congress people. They're the ones angling for votes.

The House has done something. They passed a security/enforcement first bill. Funny how Bush wasn't meeting with the Senators who wanted a Senate version of that bill.

If Bush is on-board with border security, I'll be thrilled. But quit pretending he's been leading the parade for two years.

Yes, trying to shove another Kennedy-designed amnesty down our throats. That's what he's been doing for over two years.

I did work on my congressman. I organized REPUBLICANS to protest the leftist, pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-gay marriage RINO dirtbag whenever he came back to his home district. His town halls were angry shoutfests with him getting flustered and red faced every time. He had illegal alien garbage gathered from our neighborhoods stacked against his office doors in the mornings, requiring him or his staff to remove it before they could go to work. He has finally announced his retirement after 11 terms and he, in fact, among the reasons he gave one of them was all of the opposition he faced whenever he came home. It just wasn't fun for him anymore. Good! He deserved every bit of it. Now we've got a strong conservative pro-life, pro-border security, pro-family Reagan Republican who is one of the authors of Prop 200 and a charter Minuteman who is the FRONTRUNNER in the primary. And I am one of his volunteers. I'm doing what I can in my district - big time!

Now, I'm not "trashing" the President. I'm bringing up uncomfortable realities, educating people to the specific problems I have with the President (border security and spending), and seeing what I can do to cause a change in those areas. Apparently it is working in limited ways. The day the Minuteman Project rolls into D.C. for a rally after another successful border operation the President announces a speech to address the border topic which is rumored to include a call for national guard troops on the border. We had to make a lot of noise on this issue for years, but apparently he may have finally got the message. Now, if we can get him to veto some pork-laden appropriations bills and actually work to CUT spending, we'll have a two-fer.

Is making noise to get your point across and affect change a bad thing? Obviously not to FReepers. FReepers have done protests and rallies and all kinds of attention-getting things from day one. Remember? That is what independent grassroots conservative activism is all about, Howlin.
