I found what he said from Limbaugh.com

"Well, maybe at some point that was an analogy that might have had some weight. The problem is, the conservative movement is the Republican Party today at the grassroots -- and you know, I had a great idea yesterday for the next issue of my newsletter with Mike Pence, congressman from Indiana about the efforts in the House of Representatives to toe the line on spending and to finally get something done on set-asides so that we don't break the bank, start borrowing more money for whatever disaster relief comes up after hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the flooding up in New Hampshire and all the rain that's going on in the Northeast right now. It's very uplifting to hear him talk about things. Can I tell you one thing he told me? Just one thing, I don't want to give the whole thing away. He said that to this day what remains of the most powerful influences on members of Congress -- outside of this program, of course -- is legitimately made and legitimately written phone calls and letters from the same ZIP code of the district of the congressman. He says you would be surprised at the number of congressmen who wanted no part of cutting the budget; they wanted no part of sounding like they were going against the grain here to reduce spending, but then when their constituents started telling them that they wanted them, these congressmen, to get on board. Some of them came to Mike Pence and said, "I want to hear more about what you're doing. I might want to join your effort here." It's what I've always said: You inform the people and you get them educated, get them participating, as you people do, and that's the way things happen."

Hey...that sounds great....and if he is interviewing Pence for his newsletter...even better.

The only bad news is that he wants letters from people in his zip code...which I am not..

And my congressman..Joe Barton, seems to be on board with most of what Pence wants...BUT, I will write him some letters just to nudge him a little more...and also mention Pence's name...it couldn't hurt to have Barton know that Pence has a lot of fans.
