Bulletin – Congress about to vote
We warned you.
:::
:::We told you that this month was going to be a bad one with Congress. And yet, we haven’t sent that many messages. But today Congress is so busy it requires a second message.
:::
:::I’m not going to apologize for sending a second message — it’s Congresses’ fault.
:::
:::This is an URGENT bulletin and phone calls are required.
:::
:::I’m writing to urge that you call your Representative in the U.S. House THIS AFTERNOON to oppose two amendments that would require the use of a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license.

Urgent Grassroots Danger!
Today’s Downsizer Dispatch . . .::::::Please share with concerned friends . . .::::::Subject: Urgent Grassroots Danger!::::::Rust and Congress have a lot in common. Both do damage, and neither of them ever sleep. We need to take urgent action today to spray a little metaphorical Rust-oleum over the latest danger area.::::::We have told you in the past how the campaign finance laws have protected incumbents from serious challenge at the ballot box. ::::::Yesterday we described how the establishment’s reaction to Congressman Ron Paul reflects a similar intent to rig things in favor of the status quo. ::::::Today we must alert you to the latest danger to the the kind of grassroots pressure organized and exerted by groups like DownsizeDC.org.::::::Grassroots pressure on Congress is the last remaining tool we have to control the establishment monopoly. This tool must be preserved at all costs.

The Great Escape
Four years ago, I met Bruce Shortt. Bruce, an attorney and homeschool parent, is a Southern Baptist. And each year at their annual meeting, his resolutions make news and move the denomination towards schooling independence. This year’s resolution is my favorite yet.
:::
:::Bruce will be my guest today on the Downsize DC Conference Call (radio show) and we’ll talk about that resolution.
:::
:::But Bruce is also the author of, “The Harsh Truth About Public Schools.” It’s not enough to criticize — many people need government schools, right?
:::
:::Well, we’re going to put Bruce to the test. I want to know how more kids can be helped to “escape” the government schooling system.
:::
:::And I invite you to put Bruce to the test too. Let’s see if he can get an “A.”
