Let's face the facts, both political parties have been on an extended spending binge that has no end in sight. And I will say, with 100% certainty, no matter what party is in control of congress, if the earmarks and wasteful spending don't stop you will see our members and other chapters engaging in peaceful protest at congressional district offices and townhall meetings wherever necessary. This action will especially apply to the Progressive Republicans out there. Our M O consists of educating our members on the issues and Federal Constitutional limits that our founding fathers crafted more than 220 years ago. Personally, I think our members are the opposite of what you would find at your typical political organization, especially since there are no jobs to hand out to political hacks, relatives, and favorites. We become members because we want to become involved in the political process in a meaningful way. We want our message and votes to count. Our membership consists of people you would come in contact with on a daily basis. Peace, my friend. P.S. Our coffee and sweets are always worth coming out for, and bring a non-perishable food item for the local food pantry. I hope you will consider attending a meeting.
Thank you for explaining the 9-12 organization to which you belong much better. I like the peaceful protest action, that is totally appropriate in our democracy.
And I do thank you for the invite. I may just take you up on your invite to learn more about this perspective.
