excerpt:
But buried deep within the immigration bill are hidden multimillion-dollar slush funds for left-wing nonprofit groups to provide services to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants now in the U.S. Once enacted, the slush funds would total almost $300 million over three years and grow over time.

excerpt:
The Real Action

Alinsky gleefully noted that “The real action is in the enemy’s reaction.” Watching the grim-faced Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) proclaim that the members of the Republican House caucus have “lost their minds” must have the very liberal Alinsky simultaneously spinning and laughing in his grave as his playbook is used against his political heirs, thereby demonstrating its effectiveness.

When Congress Comes Calling:a Primer on the PrinCiPles, PraCtiCes,and PragmatiCs of legislative inquiry

excerpt:
Throughout its history, Congress has engaged in oversight of the Executive Branch—the review, monitoring,and supervision of the implementation of public policy. Congress’ right of access to executive branch information is constitutionally based and is critical to the integrity and effectiveness of our scheme of separated but balanced powers. The first several Congresses inaugurated such important oversight techniques as special investigations, reporting requirements, resolutions of inquiry, and use of the appropriations process to review executive activity. The legislature’s capacity and capabilities to check on and check the executive have increased over time. Public laws and congressional rules have measurably enhanced Congress’ implied power under the Constitution to conduct oversight.

The GOP surrender caucus

You know who they are. Push them to stand firm with your beliefs.

What is going on now is a critical time in American politics.

If you do not know the democratic agenda by now you have lost a nation ruled under the constitution.

Rule # 7 & 8

 RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

 RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
