Congressional Democrats are staging a sit-in on the House floor because the Republican Majority won’t go along with any of their antigun initiatives.
Of course, local reps. Kathleen Rice, Steve Israel and Gregory Meeks are participating in this farce.
Charlie Rangel decided to kick it up a notch by declaring that he (and Congress) are special and should be protected by people with guns:
… “I think we deserve–I think we need to be protected down here.” …
That statement makes the case for term limits.
But why aren’t WE doing things like that? Why aren’t WE organizing and protesting and AGGRESSIVELY STANDING UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE?
Limited gov’t types tend not see confrontation like this as a positive.
But Jacob, we are loosing. As an engineer for 40 some years, when something doesn’t work, try something else. We have to make noise. We have to confront. I believe that the big rally we had in Albany helped a lot. They heard us loud and clear. What if 2 million of us marched on Washington? Would ALL the press have to cover it. “We are here, we disagree with you, and this is important to us”. I am NOT a leader, but you, Tom and NRA et al are.
