It is time to write/email/phone Senator McConnell. Here is the email I just sent in case you’d rather copy/paste than vent:
Dear Senator McConnell,
I have been watching the Republican party pretend to promote conservative principles only when they are in the minority. When we had both houses, both the Senate and House refused to support a majority of President Trump’s efforts, especially repealing Obamacare and funding a wall on our southern border.
Do not succumb. Leave the measly small percentage of the government closed until the Dems are on their knees begging for the wall.
In fact, add $100,000,000 to the border funding requirements for every day that the Democrats refuse to negotiate. This is why conservative principles almost never get passed. We get crumbs and the socialist Democrats get whatever they want.
When Republicans only had a majority in the House, they said, “We can’t do anything because we’re just 1/3 of the government.” Now the Democrats are in that position and you still want to give them everything they want.
Please hold firm. In fact, it’s time to start RIFing most of those furloughed government workers. Only keep those who continue to work without pay (but will be paid when the DEMOCRATS AGREE TO FUND THE WALL!!! And not before then.
This is absolutely absurd. Do your job. Support our President and stop bowing down to socialists who really do want to destroy our liberty.
Sincerely,
Nice but waste of time
