The Truth
Redstate ^ | 12/1/2014 | Erick Erickson

Congress is coming back. And the painful truth is that the Republican leaders will not stop Barack Obama unless they hear from you in overwhelming numbers. Our action center is live. You can call them by clicking here.

It is the truth. Republicans will not stop Barack Obama’s executive overreach. In fact, while you were enjoying your Thanksgiving there were a number of stories out that the Republican leadership wants to give its members an opportunity to express their outrage and opposition.

Expression is not action.

They will take no action to stop the President. In fact, a few days ago the House Appropriations Committee tried to convince everyone they do not even have the power to stop the President

I wish the public would be as worked up over Dictator Obama’s usurpation of power as they were over the events in Ferguson. I’m not suggesting looting, but a surly crowd of one million demonstrators roaming the streets of DC would be a good start. Phone calls won’t apply enough pressure to be taken seriously.

Less than a month ago we gave the GOPe, which ran on nothing, a congressional majority not seen in eighty years.

Congress has the power of impeachment, the purse and a gale force wind of support behind their duty to stop Obama.

Sorry if I don't see the purpose or need to send a message via jamming an always jammed DC.

We have nobody but ourselves to blame.

We voted this scum into power.

Now we reap that which we have sowed.

It's pretty much come to that.

The civil systems laid down by the Framers have been so hijacked, distorted, and subverted by the criminal political class, that nothing short of direct and sustained protests on the part of millions, will stop it.

Should The People allow this degraded state of affairs to continue along their present course, we'll reach a point where nothing short of rebellion will free us.

I called Speaker B today and only got his answering machine. I said to do a long term budget only makes sense if he is a Democrat or blackmailed.

So if he doesn’t have the good of the country or his party in mind he should resign the speakership and just vote as a House member.
