It's Time For Some Butt-kicking, North Carolinia

5/17/2017

 
 The Republicans control everything and yet they control nothing; and yet they DO nothing.
    —Mark Levin, May 17, 2017 
What: Demand that Burr, Tillis and Hudson (or your rep if you're not in the 8th NC District)* immediately become visibly active in the fight against the daily, relentless, unfounded attempts to neutralize the Trump Administration* via death by 1000 cuts.

Why: The Democrats (incl. the media) and the Establishment Republicans are attempting to destroy the President and his "drain the Swamp" agenda. You decide whether your Congressional politicians are part of the GOP Establishment, but the 8th District's (Burr, Tillis, Hudson) are certainly not helping the President with the good and vital parts of his agenda such as slaying Obamacare and funding the wall.**

Why is it important: The Establishment (both parties) is unified in its mission to protect its power (i.e., the "DC Swamp"). Some are shouting in our faces while others work more passively. However, like a stack of wood, the mutual support network will collapse if it looses some blocks. We can't impact the Democrats, but we have three squishy Republicans who do depend on our votes. Force just a few of these swamp rats to pull out of the "Get Trump" network and the strain on the remaining blocks will collapse the effort.

How: Convince your elected Establishmentarians (Burr, Tillis and Hudson) that whether or not the Swamp drowns the President, you will make them pay for being part of if. Call 2-3 times each week to demand to know what your Senators and Representatives are doing to actively fight back against the smear-and-obfuscation campaign under way against the President. They are using Alinsky's Rules #8 and #11.

What to say and how to say it: Be yourself and speak your own thoughts. It's good to have a list of points that are important to you. Be candid. Don't say anything you don't mean. Don't attack the person on the phone. Address behavior, not motivation (after all, you're not psychic). Be direct and straight to your point. Passion is great but be civil; don't curse or insult. The person answering the phone doesn't make policy (even if s/he does try to argue with you). Just ask your questions (if you have any) and state the action you want the politician to take. A few examples:
  • I want to see Richard on television demanding the Speaker introduce wall-funding bill.
  • I want Sen Burr to stop using of his committee as platform for repeating rumors and defaming the President.
  • Why isn't ("Swampwater") on WRAL condemning the fake news-based attacks on the White House?
  • What makes him think that that by protecting the Swamp we'll let him stay in it?
  • What is he doing to actively fund the recovery of the military?
  • Why haven't I heard him on TV and radio shouting support for the regulatory rollbacks the President has and is making?
  • Why is he not killing Obamacare so the Free Market can rescue medicine in America?
  • Introducing bills that go nowhere feels a lot like Swampmud is patting me on the head. When am I going to see results??

These guys are not principled conservatives. When-convenient conservatives, perhaps. Progressive Republicans, yes. Principled conservatives they are not. See who voted with the way Cruz and Lee did?

Wrong, Sen Tillis. The President DOES Have a Mandate

2/17/2017

 
TELL TILLIS THAT CONSERVATIVES DO HAVE A MANDATE FOR CHANGE ON THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE

Thom Tillis emailed to me that the voters didn't give Republicans a mandate for change.  I very strongly disagree!

Email Tillis on his House website (92% effective) or call 202-224-6342 (84% effective, but higher if you are personal and passionate).

One of Trump's strongest selling points was "Build the Border Wall."  Now this wimp Tillis is spouting to the Charlotte Observer and the Wall Street Journal and the Senate and his constituents that the election was a mandate to cast aside their petty partisan differences in order to deliver solutions that benefit the nation!

The benefit to the nation is border enforcement and visa enforcement — keeping out drug traffickers, terrorists,and yes, people who have it economically tough in their country and think they deserve, they have the right, to come to the USA.  A country that cannot protect its borders does not deserve to be called a country.

Tillis' emphasis is on securing 60 votes to get an immigration bill passed.  However, there are Democrats who are up for re-election in 2018 whose districts favored Trump.  Rather than fighting for what is best for America, and convincing Democrats to join him, Tillis is groveling in the sand.

Tillis says everyone wants their position on one end of the spectrum or the other.  I think Border Security is smack dab in the middle, an absolute no-brainer.  All Americans DESERVE border security.

Tillis said that "All [Americans] said was to produce results."  I strongly disagree.  I believe that it is better to NOT create a law than to create a BAD law.

The first steps under Tillis' proposal would tighten border security and deport any illegal immigrants engaged in criminal activities while also providing some temporary legal status for people brought to the country illegally at a young age by their parents.  WAIT!  Isn't the second part of that Obama's illegal DACA program (Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals)?   Isn't the United States already supposed to be enforcing its borders?  Isn't the United States already supposed to be deporting illegal aliens, especially those engaged in criminal activities.  This is not bipartisanship.  This is caving to Obama's illegal executive action.

EMAIL or CALL Sen. Thom Tillis and tell him the Republicans do have a mandate to protect our borders and enforce our visa and immigration laws.

Thom Tillis Is Not a Friend of Americans Seeking Jobs

2/12/2017

 
Tillis is not a friend of Americans seeking jobs.  Tillis is not a friend of the U.S.A. trying to pay down its trillion dollar national debt

Please read the below Charlotte Observer article.

"You will never satisfy the far extremes on the left and the right," Tillis, R-N.C., told Fox News. His aim, he said, is "to get something to the president's design that he will sign."

Tillis acts as if enforcing the immigration laws, building barriers to illegal immigration, and a system to track visa overstays would be far right actions.

Tillis acts as if President Trump would not sign a bill that doesn't include relief for illegal aliens.  Hello, we no longer have Obama as President.

According to the CH, he told The Wall Street Journal that "his plan would aim to tighten border security and toughen enforcement of immigration laws - goals often cited by Republicans - while providing some kind of protective legal status for the roughly 111 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally, a Democratic priority."

Clearly, Reagan tried to do that.  The relief for illegals was actually put into action.

Now it is time to put border security into action.
