Conservatives are calling for Republicans in Congress to fulfill their campaign promises by supporting President Donald Trump’s spending proposal and to not enact amnesty in a year-end deal with Democrats.
A letter released Monday and signed by 44 conservative leaders explains that Virginia is “in ruins” after Republican losses at both the statewide and local level earlier this month. The leaders warn that the Republican majority in the House could be in jeopardy next.
“Your consultants and managers are out of excuses—and your conservative grassroots are running out of both patience and time,” the letter states. “So stop panicking and start legislating.”
The letter criticizes Republicans—who control both chambers of Congress—for making deals with the Democrats that hurt the GOP agenda in the long run. The letter warns Republicans not to fall in line with the agenda of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Congress, the letter says, is heading toward a path in December that will lift “the domestic spending caps set in 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA) debt deal, allowing ballooning trillion dollar deficits in future years,” will give amnesty to the illegal immigrants who came as minors, will give “billions of dollars of bailouts” to insurance companies, and will only allot a small amount of funding for Trump’s border wall.
The letter is signed by the leaders of many conservative organizations, such as Colin Hanna, president of Let Freedom Ring; Jenny Beth Martin, chairman of Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund; and Ginni Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, of Liberty Consulting.

Incredibly, the GOPe idiots gave Obama MORE money than he asked for in the last two budgets! They should all be GONE.
Get the Pitch Forks and Torches ready
The Congress needs to pass common sense, comprehensive Spending Control.
With the end of the chuck n Nancy deal.. they, well not the freedom Caucus.. are about to give Dems their usual windfall Christmas! And look at all the really great accomplishments from the first deal!!
Miles of enforceable border and so much more! Let’s make a DEAL.
Never Trumper’s are more fearful of Trump then they are the Democrats, who they agree with in most issues.
Oh look! Mr. NeverTrump is back from the GOPBriefingRoom forum for another troll!
Have you guys over there manage to be critical of your GOPe sugar daddies yet? You know, the ones in control of the congress?
Maybe one day you will stop acting like Paul-n-Mitch are the “good guys”. NAH! That mean old Trump is the real target!
That’s not the ONLY reason they lost Statewide in Virginia.
The wholesale import of immigrants statewide killed a lot of seats in the House of Delegates.
And, of course, the NoVa and Hampton Roads Democrat Vote Fraud Machines are well-manned and experienced in stealing elections at the State level. . .
When are you all going to get it?
The average politician doesn’t GIVE A DAMN about what you want: they only care about their power, prestige, and perqs.
They promise what they must to get (re)elected, and do what they please otherwise. And dumbasses keep voting for them... Like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.
Meanwhile, the police-state continues to encroach on our liberties.
Go ahead and lie to yourself, but ONLY the Second American Revolution will save this once-great Nation. The current political class must GO.... all of them. The Communists must be firmly DEFEATED and no longer be allowed to hold our Nation captive to their leftist whims.
The gop wing of the uniparty is desperately trying to lose power. They want to go back to the good old days when they didn’t have to lead and just split up their share of the loot. And too many of us labor under the delusion that “our side” actually wants to win.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
Don’t forget that In April, 2016, McAuliffe signed an executive order in VA to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons. I wonder which way they vote?
I noticed you failed to provide evidence where I am wrong. Did you not criticize him for bringing in Syrian refugees to rape American wives and daughters? I guess not, for fear of being called a name. you would sacrifice wives n daughters for what? No need to answer lol.
Right after you stop applauding chuck n Nancy deals. For the truthful record I support trump when he is constitutional... I love the regulatory cutbacks and the start of tax simplification.
You’re a party pimp, I’m a rainier.. equally critical regardless of party. Sheeple, defined.
You sre so tight. The Republicans want to lose. They are afraid or too lazy to lead. That is the only explaination for what we are watching.
Virginia is my plannes retirement state. South Carolina is my back up plan.
Is Virginia still a good state for conservatives to retire to, or has it gone completely from purple to blue? Looking for guidance here.
I plan to retire to Virginia Beach. I like Blacksburg but just hate the svow, so coastal Virginia like Virginia Beach or Williamsburg is my current plan?
Are conservatives fleeing Virginia? Or is it stillsafe to come to Virginia. Idont want to get all settled in just to have the Virginia legislature pass a host of liberal laws.
Manassas is also going massively Hispanic. . .when we relocated from there in 2006 (new job), we were the last English-speaking family on the block. When we moved in, back in 1998, NOBODY in the development was a Spanish speaker. . .
The Blue Line now goes through Loudoun and Prince William Counties. Back in the mid-90s, it was still only halfway into Fairfax County.
If you’re planning on the I-81 Corridor, the farther south you are, the happier you will be. The I-95 corridor from DC to Richmond is purple, overall, these days. . . .
WHOLLYCRUD I hope they are not planning on passing amnesty of any kind.
The writing is on the wall. It’ll be like Cali, which was a pretty OK place outside of LA and SF 30 years ago. It’ll take 20 plus years for it to go full loon, but the trend isn’t your friend with massive immigration and the beltway area.
Another thing to consider is that tidewater VA is relatively expensive. Frankly if you want beach, you should check out the gulf coast.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
