Does everybody understand Trump is trying to make Congress work like it is supposed to?? That includes citizens calling their representatives and telling them what you want them to do.
SO, Have you called or written your Representatives and told them to Fund the wall once and for all and quit kicking this can down the road? They keep making the deal the Democrats want now, open the government first then we will deal with the rest... That is the proverbial football Lucy has been pulling at the last second for my entire voting lifetime now, 35 years. I say hang on tight Nancy, your going through the goalposts with it this time.
I have called my Democrat congressman a couple times over the past couple weeks now and asked him to support funding this wall. I told him I was talking to my LEGAL Hispanic Neighbor and he pointed out Illegals hurt him and his family more than me and mine. I called McSally's office and told her to stand strong on this... I have written Majority and Minority Leaders from both houses and told them to fund the wall and I support the government shut down until it happens.
My new Democrat Senator, the openly bisexual atheist Kysten Sinema won't even answer her phones, they ring busy off the hook all day long.
Who can tell me, Is constituent correspondence with our representatives public information?? I want to know which way the calls are running for or against the wall! I assume it is and why she wont even answer her phones.
Here is contact info for the entire HOUSE and the SENATE
If I as a home owner in Arizona, did not have a fence around a pool that a child fell into and drowned, besides feeling like dirt and knowing I was responsible that somebody lost their life, I would be held liable both civil and probably criminal for providing an attractive nuisance...
That is EXACTLY what our country has done by kicking this open border problem down the line to the next congress for my entire voting lifetime... and WHY Trump did the exact right thing again today, we have to stay shut down until this congress changes their collective mind and quits holding 800,000 federal workers hostage in their non-negotiations.
Remember Reagan giving amnesty?? I DO! Then fast forward 20 years and Chuck and Nancy both were in congress when they passed a secure fence bill back in 2006 to allocate $50 billion for nearly 800 miles of fencing. Chuck Schumer voted for the bill, I have not found how Nancy voted on it... Do your own search, also check and see how that approved funding worked out after Obama took office... the first two years (before his administration had any say) it got 1.4 billion each year and then the rest of the money disappeared, that is $47 billion of our tax dollars that was allocated for our fencing and just disappeared...
Where did it go?? Is this part of what Obama paid Iran off for his bogus deal? Or maybe why Maxine Waters can live in a 4 million house on a meager congressional salary for the past 28 years or all of the others (from BOTH parties) that have enriched themselves in office while supposed to be serving us.
Did you notice all the republicans that did not even attempt to run again in 2018?? That was the republican side of the swamp that was allowed to walk away instead of being publicly embarrassed... which leaves the democrat swamp members that still don't understand Trump has been playing chess while they are still playing checkers. They are getting ready to understand soon... as well as a large swath of the American people that have not been paying attention for years, who WILL be voting next time. 2018 was one of the biggest turnouts of all time and not even a presidential election year... 2020 will be historic when Trump gets another 4 years.
Nancy Pelosi keeps saying (now that Trump is president) that walls are immoral... Last night President Trump gave a number of 1 of every 3 women and children making the journey across our border are raped along the way... the CBS broadcast we watched had fact checkers come on and said no it is actually 60-80%... Funny they made it WORSE! Tell me how is congress not MORALLY RESPONSIBLE for every single one of those women and children being raped. They become responsible for every single human life that is trafficked across that border both in and OUT of our country... They become responsible for every drug overdose that happens from illicit drugs walking freely across. We will hang these facts around their necks next election, I can see those commercials already, the sound bites are already out there and they write themselves! We may be watching the literal end of the democrat party... Trump has spent 2 years highlighting double standards and hypocrisy and TRYING to get congress to finally do the job the constitution mandates they do... Now that the democrats are in charge of the finances, he is hanging this around their necks and it will sink them for good if they wont secure our borders NOW!
Trump accepted the mantle for shutting the government down and the Democrats have even stole that away from him now... There have been numerous offers made giving them more and more of what they have been asking for and the only answer in return is NO WAY NO HOW. I have yet to find a democrat that will even admit Trump won an election... not sure how you can talk to anybody with their fingers in their ears screaming at the top of their lungs to avoid hearing ANY facts or offer presented.
Good advice: Ill do it.
THANKS FOR LINKS
+1000 BUMP
Thank you for the info kick in the pants!
NO one cares if you call them. NO one. They don’t answer to you.
For every 25,000 calls you make to your representative, someone is handing them $250,000 at lunch to ignore you.
Congress is now 100% bought and paid for. You don’t matter in the slightest.
But if I call my corrupt CA so-called representatives again they'll no doubt audit my state taxes, threaten to investigate me and or give me their usual nasty canned comments, such as, "Are you threatening me". That's one of my favorites!☺
If your Representative is Raul Grijalva, you are wasting your time.
I’ve done it. Got back form letters talking about how horrible the government shutdown is without any mention of the wall (from my senators) and no reply from my congress twit.
It was him... until they redrew the boundaries... Now Ruben Gallego I think just as bad, a newer model of the same guy.
I know it is waste of energy, was hoping to get one of his interns answering the phone to think.
Mine is Haaland, just as bad.
Honestly that is all I am expecting... Finally to get me off the phone they said we can send you a reply in writing if you give us your address... so I gave it to them... I have 3 big dogs and a Security six...
Thing is, I have been screaming eliminate the FED for years... Why is there a private entity controlling our economy?? BUT, that means monetary policy reverts to Congress. Could you image this congress trying to set our countries monetary policy??
In under two weeks this congress already wants to end the Electoral Process and send 54 billion out in foreign aid, but the 5.7 billion our border patrol is asking for to secure our own Southern border is too much money.
“Have You called your Representatives?”
Yes...repeatedly. I get a form letter
sent to me that explains THEIR stance
and a “Thank you for contacting me with
your concerns.”
KEYBOARD COWBOYS IT’S TIME FOR ACTION SADDLE UP AND GET INTO YOUR PRECINCT
How about printing this up and passing it out and into your area ?
I dont have the tech stuff to post this here in FR. But here is what I’m doing Made up a leaflet using a pix from one of those earlier December invasion postings here in FR : http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3697570/posts I put this caption underneath the pix that has the INVASION caption . Pix from www.freerepublic.com / in 10pt type. To encourage FR readership
Below the Invasion caption I added this in 24 and 36pt in bold face type

BUT (insert NAME your dem congress or senator)
WON’T LET PRESIDENT TRUMP STOP THIS
"Go fornicate yourself"
One of the many joys of living in "The Gay State"
I wonder what Pelosi, Kamala, and Brad Sherman will do to help?
Nice try. I am gerrymandered into a urban black-majority district that is safe Dem. My Congressman doesn't even care about the opinions of the people who DO vote for him, let alone the ones that don't.
Most Americans are in the same boat, about 70-80% of congressional seats are drawn so the opinion of constituents doesn't matter and their Congressmen can freely ignore them without consequence no matter how much they melt down the phone lines in DC.
But the "abolish the 17th amendment" crowd says its all fine and dandy since I can still vote for my Congressman in this rigged district and therefore it reflects the founding fathers wishes. Now if we just take away my vote for Senator in the one election politicians CAN'T rig due to the fact they are unable to gerrymander statewide legislative officials, everything will be splendid.
Mine is firmly Dem also... Heavily Latino. I had Raul Grijalvo until they redistricted us and now we have Ruben Gallego... Have not had a Republican option on my ballot for as long as I can remember, we finally had a Green choice in the general this year.
My only point is nothing will change if we accept what we have and don’t try to change it. Trump intends for us to have a government of the people again and can’t do it alone, I think the contact becomes a matter of public record too??
I know I am probably not making much difference when I call, but am having fun trolling them and thinking MAYBE I can get one of his interns to start using their head and thinking for themselves by some of the questions I ask.
I have been screaming to end the FED along with numerous fellow FReepers for years now, but that would put monetary policy back where it constitutionally belongs, in Congress... Can you imagine any recent Congress with control of our monetary policy... Thinking it would be making us wish we had the Fed again.
Prediction, Congress will look very different before Trump is out of office and will be functioning much more as our constitution intended them to do.
