The midterm elections are upon us - and they offer us no relief.
Perhaps Harry Reid will be unseated (please, Lord). But the Establishment informs us "impeachment is a dead letter."
Without impeachment, then what? Bill after bill may be passed. Obama will veto most if not all.
How can we believe more legislation will relieve us from the misery born of prior legislation--that more Congressional activity will relieve us from the disastrous effects of prior Congressional activity?
So...what then?
Our Congresspersons can choose differently. They can choose to be consequential.
And we can help.
Let's all agree to call our Representatives, perhaps even Senators, the day after the election (and this is hard; at least it's been hard for me to make these sorts of calls), and, when the friendly assistant, Biff or Buff, answers the phone, we should say:
"Thank you for taking my call. I'd like you to pass on the following message to the Congressperson. I want to pass on three challenges":
"Dear Congressperson:
Be consequential:
Whatever you've been doing--in Congress--stop doing it. Where is the sanity in trying to improve upon failure?
Whatever legislation you've been working on--stop working on it.
Whatever you've been doing because "that's the way we do things around here"--stop doing those things.
Whatever Committee assignments you've received--give them back.
Whatever you've been ordered to do by Leadership, don't do it.
Whatever your Whip tells you to vote for, don't vote for it.
Whenever you find yourself in the Capitol building, leave immediately. There is nothing consequential you can do there.
Whenever you find yourself compromising, don't compromise--be sustained in the knowledge one cannot compromise with wrong.
Ask yourself, what do you have to lose? Truly, is being just another cog in a malfunctioning machine your aspiration?
Now, having given up your role as a cog, you can make a difference--you can be of enormous consequence in directly battling the Left in its century-long war with America.
Be consequential.
Become our Hero:
Become a Conservative Hero of a Conservative People (still a majority). Using the spare time you'll gain by eschewing your former role as a cog:
Secure the Borders--Now--Whatever the Cost--and Above All Else. If this means State-by-State Amendment 10 Nullification Actions, then so be it. It is unlikely the National Guard will fire on citizens or state workers constructing barriers.
Understand the voting enterprise is the Left's final offensive. With Obama's Executive Orders, Amnesty (pending) plus the Dreamers Order, we'll have nearly eight million new Democrat voters.
According to the recent groundbreaking article in the Washington Post last Friday, 10/24/14, (yes, the Post), 14% of non-citizens were registered voters in 2008; 6.4% of all non-citizens actually voted, and reliably voted for Democrats 80% of the time. The authors of the referenced study--Richman and Earnest - concluded that such numbers likely won Senator Franken his Senate seat in Minnesota and have for many years likely influenced close races between Republican and Democrats.
The Left's treachery in solidifying the illegitimate vote will be rewarded with one-Party rule for the next 100 years or so--unless we prevail against their decades-old nefarious designs. Yes, this issue is that important. No quarter should be given, no weakness unexploited, no waffling permitted, no apologies issued, no compromises agreed upon. Period. Again, Governor-authorized Amendment 10 Nullification Action may be required. So be it. We will either succeed in this fight or we will die, our country will die, our promise will die. We must adopt palpable urgency for this issue--must strategize about it at every breakfast, lunch and dinner. There exist means to solve this problem now, to secure the border, institute voter identification, and prevent voter registration of non-citizens.
Become radical--radically Conservative. Think like a radical, a revolutionary. We are in a war and we are losing. Nothing less than revolutionary, novel, unexpected, will help us.
Recognizing the impotence of the Congressional Conservative Caucus, organize instead a band of brothers,' ( la Henry V, Agincourt, HBO) (and Sisters) to reinforce and support your heroism. Call it the Conservative Union, the Conservative Club, or whatever you wish. Allow membership by invitation only. Require of all potential members documentation they have suffered because of their Conservative beliefs or activities or have consistently voted for liberty (ex. Conservative Review website). A Congressperson's claim to Conservatism is of no consequence. Also, consider inviting into membership all Conservative Republican Primary losers of close races as well--especially those victim to the despicable Thad Cochran/Haley Barbour sorts of perfidies increasingly redolent of the Establishment.
Take the Conservative Message to the People, the Declaration/Constitution Message, the belief in God Message, the Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Free Markets, Respect for Life, Strong Defense, Respect for History, Respect for Logic, and understanding of Human Nature Message. Take the Conservative Message to the People again and again and again--and again.
Make yourself a spectacle for Freedom. Do whatever is required to draw attention to the Conservative Message--and then sell it.
Make the case for the impeachment of Obama, for an impeachment's Bill of Particulars, for convictions of Lois Lerner and IRS officials, anyone involved in the IRS cover-ups, and anyone associated with the IRS attacks upon Tea Party and pro-Israel groups.
Determine how best to offset the countless numbers of Leftist radicals added to the Federal judiciary and civil service during Obama's reign.
Foster Article V rear-guard action--exert yourself to encourage your State's leaders to work with other States to inaugurate a Convention of the States (not a "Con-Con") for the purpose of proposing Amendments (see Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments).
Pursue any other non-traditional, radical measures you can think of.
Become a Hero of the People.
Save us:
100 years of Progressivism, Liberalism, and, dare we say it, Communism, have invited the hideous, insidious, and ubiquitous claws of the Administrative State into our bedrooms, our bathrooms and our light bulbs. Make it stop.
Spending and debt grow inexorably, implacably. Make it stop.
The EPA prevents our farmers building fishponds on their own properties, propounds endless "carbon pollution" regulations, and every day seeks to outdo itself in its war against our oil, gas, and coal industries. Make them stop.
Though the media has forgotten, we have not: The NSA continues to spy on us in our own country. Make them stop.
Obama persists in emasculating our military and alienating our allies. Make him stop.
Save us.
Mr./Mrs. Congressperson. Be Consequential. Thank you."
"So please tell that to the Congressperson," you say in closing.
"Yes sir/ma'am, I'll pass that along."
One can always hope.
But we don't have to hope. We can make the call.
