Republicans Deploy Grassroots Army to Defy History, Hold House Majority in November
Breitbart ^ | 1 October 2018 | Sean Moran

Posted on 10/02/2018 12:05:13 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

MOUNT LAUREL, New Jersey–The Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), a leading Republican super PAC, continues to lead the charge to deploy the Republican grassroots to defy history and hold the House Republican majority, as seen by their efforts in New Jersey’s third congressional district and documented by Breitbart News.

The Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC endorsed by the House Republican leadership, announced on Saturday that they held their fourth “Super Saturday” to reach a record number of Republican voters across the nation. CLF is using its 40 field offices to engage with over 500,000 targeted voters in key congressional districts needed to hold the Republican majority.

Compared to other super PACs, CLF has decided to build its grassroots army, rather than use most of its money solely on television and digital ads. Not only are CLF’s grassroots efforts building up Republican voter engagement, but they are also building up a Republican network which it can use for future elections beyond the 2018 midterms.

The CLF is empowering its 5,500 grassroots volunteers to engage in door-to-door canvassing and phone banking and to build a Republican grassroots army across the nation.

Corry Bliss, the CLF executive director, said in a statement on Saturday, “In February of 2017, CLF launched a hyper-targeted and data-driven field program that has grown to 40 field offices nationwide and resulted in over 24 million voter contacts to date.”

“With less than 40 days until Election Day, CLF is hosting its fourth Super Saturday, contacting 500,000 targeted voters in key congressional districts to inform them how their member of Congress is working for them,” Bliss added. “CLF’s unprecedented field program has proven to be a major factor this election cycle, and we will continue to increase our efforts as Election Day nears.”

From the article:

"Republicans will attempt to defy history this November and hold the House majority. Historically, a president’s party typically loses significant Congressional seats in non-presidential election years. Republicans gained a historic 64 seats in 2010 when Barack Obama was in office, while Democrats took 32 seats in 2006 during George W. Bush’s second term in office.

The Democrats need to win 23 Seats to win the House majority, which would only give them a slim majority of 218 to 217 seats. Republicans have used their legislative victories such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well repealing Obamacare’s individual mandate, and the skyrocketing economy to bolster their midterm message."

Let's do it! VOTE!

Talked to a former student yesterday He has seven children—six voting age— some with spouses. Never been political. Until Trump hadn’t voted since high school government class. Since 2016 all have jobs. All have registered to vote and are voting solid red.( some for first time)
He also races cars. He and his race car buddies have covered their cars with “Dump Donnelly” stickers and are passing them out at regional race tracks. This is grassroots America. No formal organization. Just fed up “normal folks”!

Indeed there’s “Only the Fight”. Never sensed an election so important. This one is for the roses.

This isn’t about any one of us, but if those Republicans who only vote in Presidential Elections feel half the anger I have felt over the past 2 weeks, they will show up and it will be a Red Wave.

We have the numbers, we just have to show up!

I have been upset with myself that I have let this Kavanaugh hearing actually affect my mood! I have been angry for 2 weeks over all of this. Friday morning, for example, I was great - Flake was a Yes vote, all good. Then I learned he caved, and it literally ruined my day. Have to fight that, but if less political people share in our collective disgust, we will indeed keep the House and Senate.

I am right there with you. I am a Christian and have vowed to fast because of the uncivilized brutality unfolding before my very eyes, based on unconfirmed charges brought through unknown people, who have not been vetted. I found fasting easy because I have lost my appetite anyway. America is being marched to her death. Where can we find any semblance of truth? Do we trust the CIA, the FBI or any of our nation’s security forces or watchdogs? No, because they, too, can be polluted through fear, money or just plain lust for power. Are we going to see bloodshed or even war? Yes, I believe we are and I believe this unearthly attack on an innocent man, who has proven documentation of his entire adult life and lots of support from people who knew him before he was an adult, will be the torch, lit by the left. They tried to lynch Clarence Thomas. Now, they are trying to lynch Judge Kavanaugh. If this is allowed to come down, I say, judgement will fall on this nation. God will NOT be mocked.

Every Man who feels indignant watching a good man falsely accused needs to vote against these evil bastards.

Any woman that loves a man, be it father, husband, brother, son, or friend needs to vote against these perpetrators of fraud and evil.

I hope there are millions of stories just like yours out there. The media doesn’t realize or care how many normal people feel this way. In Indiana, you have a great opportunity next month for striking a blow for liberty by dumping this fraud Donnelly.

I love how they conflate losing seats with losing the house.

Liars, the lot of them.

I had no idea until talking with Chris. Knew I was doing my part. Adding three to voting roll All voting straight Red. Apparently it’s much larger than I realized. C is a truck driver. They are firmly behind our president. He laughed about the truck stops sounding like a Trump rally. They are all firmly behind Kavanaugh.
