At least ONE of em’ has a pair!

This blog entry is a simple shout out to Congressman Dave Brat. I do not know him personally, but I greatly respect him-why? Dave Brat is the ONLY Freshman Congressman that voted “NO” in re-electing Boehner as Speak of the House!

You might remember that Dave Brat was the guy that beat House Majority leader, Eric Cantor, back in the June primaries, causing a HUGE upset!! Brat then went on to win the general election for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, and was sworn in in November, a little earlier than the rest.

While other Freshman Congress men and women, preached-“small” government “anti-establishment” lingo on the campaign trail recently, Brat is the only one walking it out! I was so proud of his bold stance, it’s not an easy thing to do as a Freshman. I am sure he now won’t get the best committee assignment-because it’s turned into mafioso politics in DC. “Ya best do what we say, or you’ll pay!” And, to most, selling your constitutes out to get in the “cool” group is part of the political game right? Well Brat gave me some hope, because he sided with the people-not the the “game.”

I was so proud to know that not all can be bought! I called his office and said thank you (You can too:202-225-2815)

I think we have to support these guys, going against the grain-it’s NOT easy, but it is what’s right!

Keep it up Congressman Brat-we CONSERVATIVES SUPPORT YOU!!!

thank-you

How I feel at the moment:

After the House decided to keep Boehner, this is how I am feeling right now:

independent-is-better-21878565532

Hopefully, 2015-brings redemption, but it hasn’t started out so bright. This vote just made me think, wow-both party’s are jacked! I am in full “Term Limits” mode right now! These politicians, lying to the constituents to get a vote, then go to DC and join the “boys” club! They are willing to lie to just get assigned the right committee, please!

Let’s start vetting the hell outta these guys! Hold them accountable, term limit them, and then send them back home! It was never meant to be a career, or a club! Geeeeez!

Screaming at an empty room!

Over 560,000 Letters were generated and sent to the “‘Don’t Be Yellow: Dump Boehner Now!’ campaign,” but they will arrive too late. The House voted to keep Boehner today, and this momma is MAD!

Why, because the voice of 560,000 people was completely muted in today’s vote! At this point I don’t think “they” (our elected officials) hear us at all! And they certainly DON’T have a spine!!! DC mantra: “Go with the flow, don’t make waves, or else the Establishment will devour you, or better yet-you won’t be placed on the committee you want :(“

House Reps are also lying by saying that they “HAD” to vote for Boehner because he was nominated in November, and this is NOT true, others were nominated and our representatives had a choice!!! The others who were nominated and could have been picked were:

1) Ted Yoho

2) Daniel Webster

3) Louie Gohmert

My representative DID vote FOR Boehner-which just shows me that he does not represent my voice. The house could have gone bold here, but they opted to do whatever the hell they wanted, not what we wanted! How can you call for change, if you don’t make changes???

I am however proud of these 25 Reps that stood up to the Establishment and voted against Boehner:

  1. Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) — Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)
  2. Rep. Brian Babin (Tex.) — “present”
  3. Rep. Rod Blum (Iowa) — Rep. Dan Webster (R-Fla.)
  4. Rep. Dave Brat (Va.) — Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.)
  5. Rep. Jim Bridenstine (Okla.) — Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.)
  6. Rep. Curt Clawson (Fla.) — Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
  7. Rep. Scott DesJarlais (Tenn.) — Jordan
  8. Duncan — Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.)
  9. Rep. Scott Garrett (N.J.) — Webster
  10. Rep. Chris Gibson (N.Y.) — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)
  11. Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) — Webster
  12. Gohmert — Gohmert
  13. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (Kan.) — Webster
  14. Rep. Walter Jones (N.C.) — Webster
  15. Rep. Steve King — Webster
  16. Rep. Tom Massie (Ky.) — Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.)
  17. Rep. Mark Meadows (N.C.) — Webster
  18. Rep. Rich Nugent (Fla.) — Webster
  19. Rep. Gary Palmer (Ala.) — Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)
  20. Rep. Bill Posey (Fla.) — Webster
  21. Rep. Scott Rigell (Va.) — Webster
  22. Rep. Marlin Stutzman (Ind.) — Webster
  23. Rep. Randy Weber (Tex.) — Gohmert
  24. Webster — Webster
  25. Yoho — Yoho

“We could try Freedom for a while”

I loved watching Rand Paul here, I thought I’d share!

Rand: “You sell something and I agree to buy it, because I like it.”

Wow, what a concept!

Hmmm, let’s try exercising the Freedom to NOT be forced to buy something that you don’t like-aka ObamaCare!

The idea of freedom, is slowly becoming a foreign mindset!

The 114th Congress will be sworn in tomorrow-hoping to see some real change! Not just talk-talk-talk! Now, I know that we are going to see a lot of Veto’s from Obama, but-it’s gonna look pretty bad if he veto’s everything that the House and Senate Pass.

Come on elected officials….DO what we ELECTED you to DO!!!
