Great post! And another “power of the people” move comes to mind in that of the amnesty immigration legislation!
Speaking of amnesty, I have personally heard McCain interviews in which over and over again he states he “got the message,” he now understands that the people “first want enforcement of the borders,” and so on.
IOW, we raised hell and he, being a thoroughly-trained in compromise Senator and knowing where his bread is buttered, and he is now saying “Okay, I understand the political realities here.”
We can and must do that again!
Some will say, “I don’t trust him” or “he doesn’t mean that.” I say, don’t be concerned with what he says, what he means, what’s in his mind or heart-—only be concerned with actions and the relative potential for influencing action.
Liberals concern themselves with intentions. We should focus on results.
If we raise hell and he listens, that’s a better result for us politically and it doesn’t matter WHY the president listened.
And, again, I note that there is NO chance whatsoever that any kind of hell we could ever raise on any issue would have ANY chance of influencing a Rat president.
