   Yes! This is what must occur in every Congressional district in the U.S.
   Now! Not 2018.
   Now!

   Every republican legislator should be asked to look the crowd and the camera in the eye and say:

   “I – as an elected republican legislator – 100% stand behind this president, his policies, his tactics and his BEHAVIOR” – no wavering – YES OR NO!

   “I believe a President should be allowed to tweet bullying attacks on elected officials, corporations, citizens and aspiring citizens”

   “I believe this president’s agenda is not personal and has every American’s interests at heart.”
   “I believe this president’s plan for the U.S., our allies, and our enemies is in the best interest of every person in America.”
   “I agree with this president that public funds should go to religious institutions for religious purposes (if “yes” ask if that includes Mosques), that scientists are quacks, that parents should be deported from their citizen children…”

   GET THEM ON RECORD either affirming or flinching!

   If they affirm – remind them of 2018.
   If they flinch – the base begins to crack.

   in a prior post Diane pointed out that
   “while we are distracted by stories about Ivanka and Melania, Congress abolished a regulation that prevents coal mining companies from dumping waste into streams.
   Don’t people in coal country want to fish and swim in the streams? Do they want polluted waters?

   I think we will see more of these Republican maneuvers. For the protesters at Republican town halls, take along a bottle of the nasty polluted water that they seem to love, some scientists who have chemical analyses of the water where waste from coal mines has been dumped. There will be more “deregulation legislation” of this kind put into play past midnight and whenever there are distractions of the media.
   Poet could do wonders with “deregulation legislation.”

     for the poet
     No Deregulation with Representation
     Don’t tread on me – or my children – or my health care – or my planet – or my body – or my rights

     Also going under the radar: the GOP wants to get rid of net neutrality, privatize and/or kill off CPB, PBS and NPR.

   Love it.
   Next step… send this in emails, and petitions and on signs. to any senator or rep who does not do his duty to US,and who gave us the dismal nominees, needs to hear one consistent message:
   “Pack up your stuff, and say goodbye to your Congressional Office!

   You are GOING HOME, unless you do what WE NEED!

   DO YOUR JOB — Represent US, not the billionaires who want to rob us of everything we gained, and an insane executive who will take us to war, and destroy the very CORE of what our nation represents.

   Seems like an unintended consequence of Trump and the craven Republicans is to force the average unengaged citizen to finally engage and fight the destructive Trump/Bannon/Republican policies. Hopefully this will lead to a massive loss by Republicans in 2018 when voters realize (hopefully) how they were duped.

   there are elements, like George Soros, who creates “color revolutions” around the world
   and are funding NGOs to organize protests and the NY times is all ,over reporting about “anarchists”. Ads are even taken out to pay protesters. It will be hard to tell “grass roots” efforts in the future.

   It’s looking like these are paid mercenaries.
