Every minute we keep this bill from passing, it becomes even more unpopular, and every minute we keep it from passing, that means theres more people going to the district offices, calling the offices in D.C., sending letters, protesting, reaching on social media, Frost said.
When that compiles, we get to the point where hopefully many of these members will stick to it and vote no, and thats our goal, he continued.

Keep making those calls, folks. Keep the pressure on them.

(6,997 posts)The day before yesterday, I had breakfast in a diner in a small town in Arkansas. Fox News was on the TV, of course, and a half-dozen good ol' boys were seated near me.
I gritted my teeth when their conversation turned to politics, but I was pleasantly surprised when they asked the group's resident political expert to fill them in on what's new. He spoke up and said that this new budget bill was terrible, and would add huge amounts of money to the national debt. The rest of the group just nodded and grunted in agreement.
That's purely anecdotal evidence, of course, and not worth much by itself. But maybe, just maybe...

They are cowards and for whatever reason they are afraid of the Mango Mussolini.
