“Showing up and confronting your congresscritter when they make public appearances, as I did recently with mine, and keeping up the phone calls to their offices, writing them letters, using every available opportunity to teach conservatism, etc., might be all that is necessary.”

The problem is that the majority of people that show up at the meetings and write their congressman, are doing so to beg for more handouts and Gov programs.
The next month, the very same mob of idiots will show up and write to complain about high taxes! There is no way to win at this when STUPID people are allowed to vote!

Precisely my point. Thank you for providing more insight into what I was saying. If you are a Conservative and you want things to continue down the road to full blown Socialism, continue to not show up and confront these STUPID people. It's yours to lose....
