Spot on Jerry. It's time for Congressional phones to be ringing off the hook.

I called them all: Speaker Johnson's staff only allowed me to say a very short message before they cut me off--I'm sure they see I'm calling from a 707area code not in their state!

I talked to Congressman Bacon's staff member, very polite.

Called Fitzpatrick, cut off immediately due to my area code.

Called Gallagher, talked to staff, listened politely.

Called Garcia, talked to staff, also listened politely.

Called LaLota, pressed 1 as a constituent, and got a nice person who also listened politely.

Called Kiggans, talked to very nice person, did not mention my non-constituency!

Reminded them that Senator Mitch McConnell is in total support of Biden's aid package to the border and to Ukraine. All said they would pass my message on the Congress members.

Whatever happened to the GOP?

Their foundational platforms (family values, law & order, anti-Russia) seem to have dissolved under the toxic load of Donald Trump.

What is his hold over these people?

Is there not a shred of courage left in these so-called Republicans?

IT IS DESPICABLE HOW THE HUMANS THAT HAVE SEAT IN CONGRESS ARE SO IGNORANT OF HISTORY. THEIR PLACEMENT IN CONGRESS IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE OF THIS. THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CAPABLE OF CONCRETE THOUGHT BUT ONLY THINK OF THEMSELVES & THEIR POSITION POLITICALLY.......NO INTELLIGENCE AVAILABLE HERE FOR THE WORLD & THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING. THE BORDER IS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND MUST BE HANDLED IN THAT CAPACITY. THEY HAVE DEMONSTRATED HOW INCAPABLE THEY ARE IN COMPREHENDING REALITIES, FACT AND HUMAN SUFFERING. PEOPLE LIKE THIS WOULD DO BEST IF THEY MOVED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY WITHOUT LAWS!
