I just called my useless repugnant goon Congressman

And left a message that we need immediate action to protect Mueller.

I also said if he wants to be on the right side of history, he needs to work on impeaching Trump.

Since my Congressman is a useless tea bag idiot named Dave Brat, I am not optimistic about him doing what I said.

But he has one more tick mark in both the protect Mueller and impeach Trump columns for the day.

Maybe, if enough of us call, it will sway a enough representatives to make a difference.

Washington, D.C.— Congressman Dave Brat (R-VA) and Congresswoman Alma Adams (D-NC), members of the Small Business Committee, sent a letter to the U.S. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro this week requesting that he instruct the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate whether Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are receiving adequate support from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to help develop successful entrepreneurs.

The local tea bags didn’t think Cantor was conservative enough.

Mind boggling, huh?

The good news is that a generic Democrat is 8 points ahead in recent polling and we have at least one candidate activity campaigning already.

There are a lot of older, educated white voters here who probably find Trump disgusting.

If that group follows the national trend, we have a chance.

Good for you for taking the time to register your opinion with Rep. Brat, even if it is ineffective. At least he can't go out and grandstand that he hasn't heard anything different from his constituents than his own demented path.
