It was incredibly powerful. Watch and see for yourself, but be sure to have some tissues handy:
[Video at link]
Passionate and fierce. Rep. Gowdy (R-S.C.) spoke for all Americans. Rep. Gowdy spoke For the Women in the real way, not the Obama way. Rep. Gowdy cares for the most vulnerable in the real way. Rep. Gowdy delivered a boom-worthy statement blasting the IRS that will be, and should be, remembered for a long time to come. Everyone in America needs to see this indeed.

You really must see it.
Gowdy should run for president
Rep. Gowdy is a dedicated, loving man who speaks and acts like a “Profile In Courage, Dignity, Truth, Honesty, Passionate Love Of Country & All Its Citizens, Men & Women Alike!!! Thank you, Congressman Gowdy!!!
WIKI EXCERPT Gowdy considers himself a constitutional conservative. In August 2011 during the 2011 United States debt ceiling crisis, Gowdy opposed the Speaker John Boehners debt limit bill, and he voted against the final debt ceiling agreement.[15] In December 2011, he told Congressional Quarterly that he will only support a measure if its sponsor can demonstrate that the Constitution gives the government the power to act in a particular realm.[5][16]
Gowdy worked on the Committee on Judiciary, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Gowdy developed a reputation as a tough questioner and frequently speaks on the floor of the House on issues ranging from Fast and Furious to his support for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
In 2012, he received the Defender of Economic Freedom award from the fiscally conservative 501(c)4 organization Club for Growth. The award is given to the members of Congress who have the year's highest ranking, according to the Club for Growth's metrics. Gowdy scored 97 out of 100, and was one of 34 congressmen given the award.[17]
Gowdy considers himself "pro-life plus", meaning that he believes "in the sanctity of life" and that "the strategy should be broader than waiting for the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade."[18]
Trey Gowdy signed the Contract From America, which aims to "Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care".[19][20]
======================================
Time to catapault Trey Gowdy to the top of the List of presidential contenders. In this and every forum, he has defended conservative interets like no other Republican.
I wish all public employees could see this. Wouldn’t touch the union leadres one bit, bur maybe some members.
Can you say bye bye Lindsay Graham. This guy has a big future.
I wish I knew how to pass the video link around. Maybe it’s on youtube? I need to pass this around. Trey is compelling like no other public speaker I have heard in a long time (’cept for Cruz).
I pray for this gentleman & all others like him trying to do the right thing in this cesspool we call D.C. May the Holy Spirit guide them & may God protect & defend them.
Go Trey!
p.s. this is what a true public servant looks like.
If I were casting a movie on the American Revolution and the founding of this Nation ..... I would want Trey Gowdy for Patrick Henry. Powerful orator in both content and delivery. A man for OUR times.
there is a toll free number that you can call to reach Gowdy.
I highly recommend that people call him to support.
While it’s great to see long-needed light of scrutiny shined upon the IRS, what do we think really is going to be the end result? We’re all going to take a hang-dog look and a sincere-sounding apology from Dan Wuerfel and a period of good behavior, only to have this crap all happen again in a couple years?
Unless the cancer of the IRS is cut away completely, it’s only going to become worse.. more angry and aggressive.
Clearly, the IRS targeting has put conservatives in the catbird seat---even left-wingers are appalled about the IRS targeting.
However, it is nauseating to see RINOs grab onto this issue---and run with it---as if they were really concerned about conservative interests.
RNC RINO Rancid Priebus was allover the tube moaning and groaning about conservatives being targeted b/c he knows this is an issue that could bring Repubs back to power....the same RNC that turned away conservatives and would not listen to their concerns few months back.
REFERENCE--FR POSTED---Grassroots Activists Turned Away at the RNC
United Liberty ^ | 4/16/2013 | Jason Pye / FR Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 by Hilda
Just days after the Republican National Committee (RNC) rejected most proposed rules changes that would undo the power grab from last years convention, a number of grassroots activists stopped by the RNC to express their disappointment with party leaders and let them know that they would not give up the fight.
Shortly after 10am, around 50 activists (pictured at web site) showed up at RNC headquarters in Washington, DC to present a representative from the party with a open letter to Chairman Reince Priebus that hit at the heart of grassroots frustration with the party.
As grassroots fiscally conservative activists from states across the country, we are stopping by the RNC Headquarters in Washington today to express our disappointment in the Partys continuing marginalization of the individuals who are driving the only credible ground game to combat the progressive liberal political machine, read the activist-signed letter to Priebus. After reading the 100-page Growth and Opportunity Project, we had a glimmer of hope that the Republican Party was going to make a sincere effort to make the Party process more bottom-up and transparent in structure.
They continued: The opportunity to repeal the Tampa Power Grab last week was your first big shot at beginning to mend the relationship between the Party and the principled, small-government grassroots activists that youve disenfranchised, the letter continued. And you blew it.
At issue are two specific rules Rule 16 (A) (1) and Rule 16 (A) (2) which conservative grassroots activists consider unfair.
Rule 16 (A) (1) was upheld on the floor, giving national leaders the power to dictate how states bind delegates, the letter stated. This rule puts underdog challengers to the establishment at an immediate disadvantage with fewer delegates sent to the convention. This is only made worse by 16 (A) (2), which prevents principled challengers from growing their delegate count on the convention floor.
The activists say that Rule 16 (A) (2) was a watered down version of a power grab. They also note that the changes made at last weeks RNC meeting fail to restore the authority to state delegations to enforce and create their own rules.
In fact, it strengthens and reinforces the RNC power grab that outraged the grassroots last summer by giving the RNC Secretary full authority to ignore the delegates wishes. The letter also brought up the way the rules were adopted at the convention, which only highlights the distrust the grassroots has towards establishment.

====================================================
The RNC should be put on notice---they cannot use conservatives to get back in power UNLESS rock-hard conservatives like Trey Gowdy and his surrogates are placed in key positions in the party---in DC and nationwide. This must happen now....or we will proceed without them.
More importantly it's time to ditch RINO conservative-haters like Priebus, the neocons, Rove, and the rest, who have continually kicked conservatives to the curb. They cannot be a part of any effort to clawback Republicans to power using the important IRS issue.
Gowdy seems at this point to have great values/speaking skills. But he's new to the scene and the Presidential choice should never be based on someone who has had only a couple of excellent performances.
He has to have more skills than that.
I’m ready to help in any way.
you tease with a number but you don’t give the number! do you have it?
