ping list me please.
Antique Gal would like to be added to the list too. Thanks to you Political Mom for starting this.
Please add me to your ping list.
I remember Charlie Norwood, G-d rest him, talking about 15 million of our tax dollars going to La Raza. Thanks, for doing this. I came on tonight just hoping someone would be talking about what we should do next. I'll call my congressman tomorrow.
One thing, and I know it's far out there, is doing away with Birthright Citizenship. My congressman, Nathan Deal, is trying to do something about that. If we don't stop it, the children of the illegals will vote to open the borders to anyone who wants to come.
Do you have a bill number for the anti-anchor baby legislation? I have been hunting and can’t find it. I know I read about it recently.
bump
Me! Me! Me! (Please add me. Pretty please!)
Please “ping” me.
We must NOT become complacent, we must NOT think this thing will go away.
The House of Lords needs its wings clipped and the COnstitutionshould be amended to change their six year term to a three year term, or they remain arrogant and contempuous towards public opinion.
Great ping, so ping me and ping harpo11.
Thanks- yep, that 17th Amendment is the source of a lot of modern problems.
