Many have sounded the horn:
Senators Grassley, Cruz, Lankford, and Lee along with Congressman Louis Gohmert and ALL FOUR relevant congressional chairmen.
News Reports:
1. Drudge
2. Washinton Examiner
3. Wall Street Journal
4. Breitbart
5. [UK] Daily Mail
6. The Hill
This is so frustrating.
We are just internet users .. and we have no say.
This is taking place under Obama .. when it should have taken place under Trump - wherein this “give away” would not be happening.
If the internet does become a giveaway, I will not be on it.
