HOLD THE LINE!!

They'll have to come back to you. DEMAND a REAL CUT in spending!! Do not under any circumstance approve a debt ceiling increase!! Instead, insist on real spending cuts NOW!! The country is bankrupt. Do not allow them to take us deeper into debt! It's time for the HOUSE to do its job of controlling the spending!

The federal government is bankrupt due to Obama's reckless spending. Cut up his credit cards and force him to quit spending! It's time to put Obama and company into receivership! Make them come to the House to authorize current payments on the debts as they come due so that we don't default. Do not authorize any spending whatsoever on discretionary items until the spending crisis is solved. Pay the obligated social security checks, the military, the interest and the required debt payments, but that's just about it until our fiscal house is in order!

Make no bones about it. We sent you to Washington for one reason and one reason only and that is to take control of our big spending, big taxing problems and get our economy going again so our our people can get back to work!! Do not let the DC ruling class sway you. Do not take your eye off the ball. Do not fail to do your job! Our nation's survival depends upon your vote!!

Tell Boehner to get HIS ass in line!! Cut the damned spending, already!!

Reinforcements are coming in 2012!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

DON'T TREAD ON ME!!

We thr people demand it. If you can’t do the will of the people then you need to go.

I also know all embedded incumbents need to go, on both sides.

I am a displaced Texan, exiled in CA.

There are only two GOP Nay-votes from TX right now: Ron Paul and Louie Gohmert. The rest are Yays or undecided.

Call Barton. Call Barton, Sam Johnson, Hensarling, and Pete Sessions and tell them to cut the crap.

Also, Floridians need to have a chat with the Good Col. Allan West. I think he’s drinking some bogus Kool-Aid.

Mr Robinson, where was this kind of support for our freeper friends that despised RINO’s
and wanted to hold this same standard you’re talkin about right now. They got booted out. It’s discouraging. Freepers that were trying to warn against just this kind of crisis, if we continually voted RINO’s into office.

I love your spirit. If they can succeed in wrestling an uncompromising immediate cut out of the Dems, then godspeed, but I don't see any realistic chance of that happening.

As much as I appreciate the newfound principle, I don't see how we can win this politically absent a compromise increase. We're already losing the PR battle (shock) in the MSM.

It’s been hard to see a clear path forward on this changing situation. I know mine is a less-widely trumpeted position here on FR, and granted, maybe I'm mistaken, but as painful as it is, when you're in a minority position, as we are on the Hill, you take the best deal you can get to minimize the damage to the country (unquestionably our first priority), and try to avoid being politically eviscerated, which is what will happen to us if we don't compromise, and the result is either a partial government shutdown or negative economic repercussions (genuine or ascribed). 2012 is perhaps the last big chance to fundamentally reverse what Obama has wrought, generic Republicans are outpolling him; we should not sacrifice the enormous opportunity to do good then, with a largely symbolic one now.

FR has always led the charge.

Solid Todd Akin from here in Missouri is standing firm with the Texans.

I’m a Texan. Ron Paul is my Rep. (not by my choice, don’t judge lol)...anyways, I never have to call him on stuff like this, he ain’t budging. I don’t even check up on him. He’s that solid on this stuff....so that frees me up to bug other people’s reps....

I think it has become abundantly clear that 2.6 trillion for Obamacare is not fiscally responsible. Repeal it NOW.

Before ANY American suffers one slap in the face. ALL foreign and payments to other than for American bene should be halted.

Wonder what would happen if all the money that is going to prop up American hating entities stopped.

Plus ALL federal benes to illegals must stop, period.

While not president material, Ron Paul has been an excellent House Rep.

Can we call more than our own representatives?

I called my congresswoman and then called another TX congressman’s office at which time I was asked me if I knew he really wasn’t my representative. I said “Yes, but I want to encourage him to vote no for the Boehner plan anyway. I want him to know what we all think.”

However, when I got that question, I did wonder if it was OK to call more than my own rep. Especially since Texas seems to be trying to hold out and they are getting even more pressure now, I, as a TEXAN, want to call whoever I can!
