   On 12 Feb 2026, Ron L. said the following...

    RL> "You will own nothing and be happy."   
    RL> "You will eat ze bugs."   
    RL> And so on.   
    RL>    
    RL> In other words, their policies are "you are our slaves making our lives   
    RL> better while burning yourself out."   
    RL>    
    RL> But actually stating those policies is a good way to never get elected   
    RL> again.  So they coat their policies in "feel good" words.  And if you   
    RL> look at the policy, Stage 1 thinking (which is all the Left can handle)   
    RL> makes it look good.  But when you get into Stage 2 and 3, you see how   
    RL> the policy is horrible for the country (but good for the Elitists).

   I spent some time yesterday calling Senators, mine and a few others, telling   
   them to vote yes on the save act.   
      
   I did some calling today as well.  Senators that were on the fence... I know   
   my calls weren't the pivotal ones... But we have 49 cosponsors now... we need   
   at least 1 more and we're in.   
      
   Susan Collins is leaning YES and John Fetterman might be one other that will   
   vote yes.   
      
   Fetterman won't signal a co-sponsorship to the bill because of the Karen wing   
   of his party.   
      
   if they get the 50 then the VP will break the tie.   
      
   Senate leader says he'll change the rules back to speaking filibuster so the   
   Democrats will have to speak endlessly to stop the bill.   
      
   Get excited!!!
