As Reagan said, we must trust but verify. That is, we need to call them and see if they have balls to stand up to this destruction of our Nation. They and their district office may talk one way to us, but then cave in D.C. or be silent or be a bunch of p*ssies on the other, particulary one can almost predict this out of the GOP centrists and RINOs. So we need to REALLY LET THE GOP AS A PARTY HAVE IT in my opinion--as they are stronger in D.C. than we are--and insist that a number of them WILL in fact run the ball for us in D.C. against Obama, but some of them are going to be weak and two faced. Direct pressure on the Democrats and Obama Administration, while good, would certainly have more receptivity by Republicans first. (if the GOP doesnt want to go into the historic trash bin and be overtaken by a grassroots conservative Third Party). We may have to do a little political threatening of our own party first to get some things done here. I think of the RINOS in California all wanting to join the Tea Parties only after it appeared they were a groundswell and taking off; but in the initial stages they would not return phone calls or thought it was fringe, kook stuff. I have had my fill of these mealy mouth types in the GOP. They are almost worse than the Lib Democrats, whom you would expect this from.
