Still doesn't the change the fact that he's one who started Drill for now this issue alone could very well bring the Republicans back control of the house.

[Marmolade]

Off to my meeting. It’s a town hall mtg. with the guy up against our current DEM rep. Will spread the word and the websites there.

[lonevoice]

Wow. See post #348

Carter was simply 30 years ahead of his time. It's taken that much longer to solidify the handclasp between socialism and environmentalism, gain complete control of the media to propagandize their agenda, and dominate academia to brainwash our children.

Kay Granger - He said that she was there yesterday and a few of them are alternating to give each other breaks. She’s not there today, but is in town and will be back.

Good! Thanks for getting to the bottom of it.

LOOKS LIKE OUR CALLS ARE WORKING FOLKS.

WE NEED TO KEEP UP THE PRESSURE TOMORROW!

Especially on MCCAIN....BLUE DOG DEMS....and the WH!!

Hey, lonevoice! Thanks for the ping. I was there today. It was a long day!

The crowds in the House chamber were triple the size of yesterday. Opening speech this morning was standing room only with two deep around the side and rear aisles of the floor with overflow in the gallery. The Members and staffers all had a spring in their step, very, very upbeat today, as you can see this thing growing before your eyes.

Newt was inspiring to everyone, as always, commenting on historical aspects of everything. And the hardest worker I saw the whole day was Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina. After comparing Pelosi to "Let them eat cake," Marie Antoinette at the morning presser, she gave a floor speech and was then non-stop tending to tour groups.

Count I got from Blunt's office (Blunt returned today, his primary in MO was yesterday) is 72 GOP members have participated so far coming in and out... more fresh faces expected by Monday with murmurs from Members that they're going to support this effort through August.

You are quite welcome~

[GoldwaterChick]

Great! Thanks for your report; it must be awesome to be there!

[STARWISE]

BTTT ... YES ! Thank you for being there, and all you do!

[lonevoice]

Awesome report! Thank you for being there and for giving us a peek at what things look like on the ground there. It sounds like the energy is off the chain. Here’s hoping this congressional revolt is a real turning point and someday you’ll be able to say “I was there when it happened!”
