a delicate balance for them their first vote is member of congress is going to be for nancy pelosi of speaker. and many promise that they wouldn t do s it so eyes are focused on that very first vote did you break your bond to your constituents on day one but even on day two, three, and four and bringing radical bill after call bill to abolish i.c.e. they want to get rid of interior border patrol agent, this open border mentality medicare for all with eliminate private health insurance and help bankrupt medicare. and then let alone all of this personal stuff where they want to keep going after president and ultimately impeachment. they that go down that leftest agenda that sid not where middle america and nip from republican to democrat are, are you guys ready to organize on these committees battle them inch for inch territory territory, territory. we absolutely need to. look i was there on the energy and commerce committee on new energy of congress in 2009 when they
