For about the same effort as pounding your computer keys complaining about the Republican effort, you can try to actually influence your government as a citizen.
I suggest the fax because the phone lines can be ignored so easily. A similar fax or phone call to your own Senators is mandatory. Get your Senator to pressure McConnell to move the House bill using the Reid Rule.
According to Fox News stories, Pelosi was telling the Dem caucus that she had been promised if the Dems would back the one week extension, they would have a chance to vote on the clean bill passed by the Senate last week. If a backroom deal has been made for Boehner to use Democratic votes to undercut the Tea Party in the House, then there will be little we can do to stop him on this vote. But it is an opportunity to use this outrage to oust Boehner. If he stabs us in the back only a few weeks into the year, it’s only going to get worse as the session moves along.
What’s Plan B? Even if you pass the bill, Obama will veto. Until you can name 13 Democrat Senators who will vote to over-ride, you’re wasting your time.
idiot mcconnell needs to go nuclear like fluken harry reid did.

We need to overload the Representatives’ fax lines and phone lines and mailboxes and emailboxes, even Peter King’s.

Who was the “idiot” that decided we will give Obama almost everything he wants in the Jan. vote but we will use the vehicle of DHS to stop Obama’s illegal amnesty spending. This was so outrageous to give the best tool possible for the Democrats and the News Media to use as talking points against us that it is inconceivable that the books were not cooked before this was even set up. And my Congressman who pretends to be a Republican but votes like Democrat is using the same talking points on his website. “It is our Constitutional duty to ensure that our country remains safe and today’s vote will adequately fund agencies under the jurisdiction of the DHS.”
