Good read !
Two words: Hastert Rule.

It says that unless a "majority of the majority" don't support a bill, it won't be put up for a vote in the house. So we need 124 GOP reps to agree to support the bill, otherwise it won't be put up for a vote by Paul Ryan.

It's similar but not the same in the senate, even if 12 or 22 GOP senators support it, Mitch McConnell won't put it to a vote even though he knows he it would pass with mostly democrat votes.

Hastert Rule is not a real rule. The Speaker of the House can decide to not go by the rule at any time.

UWD is holding a conference call tonight at 9pm est. Text DACACALL to 877877 to register and get more details.

We need to attend this call and tell them to rethink their approach because individuals like the uwd spokesperson on cnn, will be the cause of our demise.

We have to make it crystal clear to Democrat that We want them to compromise with GOP to save us. Stop using us to play politics just like in the past. enough is enough. I am tired of it.

They need to give up shit like Amnesty for all, it doesn't work.

We have to tell United We Dream our thought, they have to stop acting like Democrat's puppy
