However, SOMEONE needs to do this. If not me, then WHO?
Ask yourself this: Lord, is it I? If not me, than who? Is it I Lord?
I don't want to do this, I want someone lese to lead, but it's not happening...
Join me?
It’s been 20 years since the March for Justice.
I think it’s time for a reunion.
Sign me up.
Babylon, Appreciate and respect your zeal, but the Swamp just laughs at us when we enter those fetid waters.
There’s a more effective way and it’s something we can - and should - do right at home.
The 2018 elections will bring the Swamp People back to Flyover Country to implore us to punch their tickets for another 2 or 6 years.
Every concerned citizen should go to as many Congressional Town Hall Meetings as possible if only because they are great theater.
But, here’s the thing, if YOUR GUY DOES NOT have microphones available for voters to ask those questions, YOU NEED ANOTHER GUY IN THAT JOB.
DO NOT allow him to pass out those small note cards on which you are to write your question or comment. If he does that, you will notice that his district staffer will shuffle through them and pass on to his boss ONLY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS favorable to the boss.
If YOUR GUY uses that system, REPLACE HIM!!
And, another thing: If you ask an intelligent and thoughtful question and your guy gives a typical weasel worded response, all is not lost. Your question – and his dumb response - MAY have educated others on some issue they have never considered, moving THEM to formulate a critical follow-up question or comment!
Years ago, I rose at a local school board meeting and asked why it was that the Civics book my son had shown me looked like it had been written in the Soviet Union?
When I finished the question over half the parents applauded and made positive comments.
The Superintendent of Schools – a pretty decent and, it turned out, conservative older fellow – stepped up and remarked that he, too, was concerned about that and went on to offer that the problem was (and still is) that “…most of them are written by folks who teach at liberal Eastern universities.” He continued by saying that while many of those decisions were made at the state level, he asked any parents who knew of alternative publishers to get in touch with him.
When the meeting broke up, over two dozen parents surrounded me and asked if I could steer them to organizations where they could learn more about how to cure the problems they were also having with the government schools.
I was more than happy to tell them.
Remain at the mike and DON’T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THE OLD POLITICAL TRICK OF ANSWERING SOME OTHER QUESTION.
And, YES, it can be a BOTHER to haul yourself out of the house and go to these things. It can be made LESS of a bother to take a car load of like-minded conservative friends and neighbors, grab a bite to eat then on to the “festivities”.
But, do you know what is even MORE BOTHERSOME? Having to live under the plethora of often stupid & frivolous laws and regulations handed down from ON HIGH (for which the fast growing PRISON INDUSTRY thanks them with large contributions) by a legislature composed of hundreds of Doug Neidermeyer wannabe control freaks we keep returning to office because not enough folks can be “bothered”.
What’s that old saying again? “USE it or LOSE it”. It applies to FREEDOM and the PROCESSES of MAINTAINING IT!
MILLIONS of us hitting those meetings on a regular basis MIGHT send ‘em the message that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Oh yeah. If you can’t get to these meetings, the number at the Capitol is 202-224-3121. You should call your critters once a week or so to give them a piece of your mind. As an added bonus, you’ll be treated to the WORST MUSIC-ON-IGNORE in the history of mankind!

It’s past time for DC to come to fly-over country.
Move the Dept of Interior to the Interior and the BLM to the grasslands just east of the Rockies and the Ag Dept to the middle of the National Forests of the Rockies..
I’m sorry!
It was some time ago I posted this thread.
I was fed up and wanted to do something beside post.
However, like coming off a drunk, I realized I did not have the skills to pull it off—even remotely.
I wish there was someone who could actually make this happen but I now know it’s not going to be me.
I did register the domain name MAGAMarchOnWashignton.com if anyone wants to use it. The domain is good and locked in until May of 2019.
Rallies are fine but showing up to vote is the real hot ticket.
