I have been saying for weeks now that the GOP leadership has and will continue, to only respond to the mob in the street.

We need a delay of action in the house and a date certain for a citizens march in D.C., organized and led by every conservative grass roots organization in the country.

But even our "conservatives" here are not listening.

Because mass demonstrations go against the psychological pre-disposition of conservatives (this is a republic not a democracy), conservatives are self-limiting our options to making our voice heard with the force it deserves and needs at this moment.

Believing we will not "take to the streets" or even organize to do so, the GOP elites are counting on that fact and thus counting on the media's lack of a need to focus on such an event, and focus on our actual numbers as one of their means of ignoring and muting the voice of the grass roots of the GOP.

They fully intend to work a fait accompli BEFORE November; as if to say - "Now we got the bastard law we wanted and you will look like the bad guys, even if in 2 to four years you could have the votes in Congress to repeal it; we [they] can keep spinning the deceitful platitudes about what the "reforms" do (not) and make you look like ogers".

But, if the we can stop them from achieving that, then the November elections will be a referendum on their non-reforms, and contrary to what the GOP leadership is spinning, the chances for their bill will be less after November not greater (most of the Democrat Senators who voted AGAINST the bill are up for re-election). They are at least honest about what the people really want.

But, even here, few are prepared to work to give national focus, in public, to our true concerns and true numbers?

I'm ready, willing, and able. Washington, weekend of June 17, we should be bold, quick and voluminous. The Senate deception is ludicrous - let's mock them.
