A great piece from Dr. Jack Wheeler:
Dear GOP House Members and Members-Elect –
Congratulations to you all for surviving the absurd calamity of November 6th. You need to know what’s in store for you.
To put it bluntly, you have two years to live. Politically live as the House Majority, that is. You are going to be demonized and destroyed by the Chicago Gangsters who run the White House and the presstitutes of the CorruptMedia. Your chances of retaining your majority in 2014 are 0%.
The question is: what are you going to do with these two years? Realize that the political outcome will be the same no matter what you do. While many of you may individually survive and be reelected in 2014, collectively your majority will be gone and you’ll all be just minority schmucks.
So if you plan to cringe, compromise, and cooperate with the gangsters just to be reelected as a minority schmuck, why not just quit now, resign and collect your pension – rather than continue a charade in order to keep your perks of power for a little while longer, and all that while you’ll have to look into the mirror every morning and see a coward?
Why not, then, see someone of courage in that mirror instead? There is a power that only you – a majority of members of the House – have that neither the Senate, the President nor any of his agencies, nor even the Supreme Court has. If you choose to exercise it, you will be feared and respected, instead of being Obama’s poodles.
But far more importantly, you will have done your patriotic duty to protect your country from the lethal damage Obama is poised to inflict upon it.
The power the House Majority uniquely has is the Other Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules. Article I Section 7 of the Constitution states it very clearly and without ambiguity: “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.”
The President with his Executive Orders and multitude of agencies and departments, Harry Reid’s Senate, the Supreme Court, no part of the vast US Federal Government has the Constitutional authority to spend a dime that you don’t give them. You all, of course, know this. What is required of you now is to act on it.
The day after the Catastrophe of November 6, Harry Reid loudly proclaimed that the Federal Government will soon require the debt ceiling raised another $2.4 trillion – and that when the time comes to do so, “We’ll raise it.”
The question to ask Mr. Reid is: “What do you mean ‘we,’ kemosabe?” Harry and every other Senator has no say in the matter. If you, the House Majority do not vote to raise the debt ceiling, it is not raised, no matter what temper tantrums Harry or the President have or threats they make.
Right now, as you read this, your children and grandchildren – in fact, every single American under 18 – is saddled with over $216,000 of federal debt they will be expected to pay off. They can’t, they won’t, and it is immoral in the extreme to expect them to. Their debt has to be defaulted upon. The way to start is to refuse to raise the debt ceiling.
Just to be clear – when I say you have two years left to live politically, that’s a best case scenario. Unless you roll over and become Obama’s poodles, being a Republican Congressman will be the most dangerous job in America.
You will get death threats, so many you’ll lose count, and there may well be actual attempts on your life. The CorruptMedia will oppo-research every hidden nook and cranny of your life to smear and expose whatever dirt they can find on you.
You must understand that America now has a government run by gangsters – by crooks, thieves, looters, and thugs who will be utterly ruthless in ruining you if you try to be in their way. Putin’s Russia, Chavez’s Venezuela, has come to America.
So if you don’t have the courage to band together and stand up to them, quit now. They can’t spend money you don’t give them. They will do whatever it takes, legal or illegal, to force you to give it to them.
If you can’t say No to raising the debt ceiling, if you can’t Defund Obamacare and the EPA and Obama’s Executive Orders, if you can’t refuse to appropriate money for more Food Stamps and Obama’s crony capitalist subsidies, quit now.
But if you can say No, if you can Defund, then you will be heroes to at least half of America, the half that stands for honesty, decency, and protecting our children’s future. Make us proud or be gone. This is your chance to be heroes – or to be schmucks. Make these next two years the time you live up to the character and courage of America’s Founders.
Right now, history has chosen you to be America’s only hope to avoid her falling into destitution and tyranny. Live up to it. It will take more courage than you ever thought it possible for you to have. Reach inside for the best within you. America’s future depends on it. The weight of history is on your shoulders. Stand up straight and accept the burden.

Editor, To The Point
You are so awesome! I do not think I’ve read through a single thing like this before. So wonderful to find someone with some genuine thoughts on this issue. Really.. thanks for starting this up. This website is something that is required on the web, someone with some originality!
I want to add a few of my own ideas to this excellent letter. There is one more thing that the Republican majority in the House can do, something that they should have done two years ago. Investigate the crap out of Barack Hussein Obama. Investigate his associations with known members of the Communist Party, everyone from Frank Marshal Davis and Van Jones, to suspected Communists Valerie Jarrett, Leon Panetta and Cass Sunstein. Investigate his associations with known domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, co-founders of the Weather Underground. Investigate his associations with the radical terrorist organization The Muslim Brotherhood and the terrorist groups they support. And finally, someone please take a look at the information available that says the long form birth certificate that Obama showed America in April 2009 is a fake. No, I am not a birther, I believe Obama was born in the USA but I do believe that the document Obama waved at us three years ago is a forgery and that using and possessing a forged document is a Felony and Obama should be charged with the crime. And that leads up to Impeachment.
So, do you want to grovel before the Democrats for two more years or do you want to stand up and fight? Put Obama on the defensive and keep going at it for the next two years and its possible that some newspaper or television news program may actually begin to report it. If you had done this two years ago when we gave you that landslide victory in 2010, maybe the Republicans would have had another big victory last month.
And one more thing, someone above said they would like to see this letter sent to every member of Congress. I just got a bulletin today with another letter concerning a demand to investigate the fraudulent election last month. They had a simple fund raising plan to enable their letter to be faxed to everyone in Congress. I reposted their appeal on my blog along with the link to the prices for the fax. Check it out and see if you can use it. http://oldironsides-thesilentmajority.blogspot.com/2012/12/time-to-fight-back-to-recover-our.html
Folks,
Tea Party bigots (like this Wheeler twit and his rabid cheer squad) clearly express their wish to bring down the FREELY ELECTED US Govt of President Obama regardless of the cost to their nation and the global economy.
Hence they have the audacity to threaten Republican Representatives with loss of their positions if they don’t agree to block ALL revenue raising.
They would rather the US economy (and by extension the global economy) “fell off a cliff” than see the US climb out of the financial hole that George W. Bush dug over eight years.
In fact, their goal seems to align pretty well with that of Osama bin Laden whose stated goal is to destroy the US economy.
Such are these self-centred creatures (like that Trump idiot who sports a red possum on his head) who DARE to represent themselves as PATRIOTS!
Bah!
Humbug!
Colin,
At some point your going to stop blaming president Bush. The man has been out of office for 4-years, yet the fingers point his way. At what point does Obama, his administration and congress begin to take responsibility? Further, your ignorance of the facts is typical of this mostly uniformed populous that can only be defined as “useful idiots”. May I suggest you conduct some personal research in search of some truth. Start with F.A. Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and the legendary Milton Friedman.
We are already over this supposed fiscal cliff. We are by definition bankrupt. I’m certainty no fan of the cowardice of the GOP, however to equate following their oath of office to Bin Laden talking points about destroying the economy is absurd. Can you not see we are being led towards a Marxist state? Are you so blind to dismiss the authoritative positions of this administration. I can only hope you are being sarcastic in your comments. If not, you sir are a lost cause.
Admiral Rickover on Responsibility: “Responsibility is a unique concept… You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you… If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”

Well here it is folks – that famous Liberal Logic on display for everyone to see. $5 trillion over 8 years is awful & ALL Bush’s fault. But, $6 trillion over the last four years just isn’t mentioned. How convenient. We’re all amused & challenged by your “unique” point of view.
You really smashed it with a great post with some fantastic info
I agree with all of your comments here; however, I feel that WE THE PEOPLE must step up our ground game and do something about the terrible travesty that has become the United States of America.
I don’t have the answer to how exactly we should do this, but there are millions of us out here on Twitter and the Blogosphere. Somehow we must make our voices heard, and hold our representatives accountable to us.
We need to send letters, faxes and make phone calls to our reps. March on Washington…something.
It just makes me so angry that the same people continue to be elected and re-elected election after election for 20-30-40+ years. This is NOT what our Founders had in mind. Their positions are not a lifetime appointment, and it is time we seriously let them ALL know this.
There are 20 Dem and 13 Repub Senate seats, and ALL House seats up for re-election in 2014. http://scaredmonkeys.com/2012/11/12/us-senators-up-for-reelection-in-2014-20-democrats-and-13-republicans/
We need to have fresh, new and upcoming Conservatives start moving into these states and districts to set up a challenge to some of these ‘Lifers’ and so many that go completely unchallenged election after election; i.e. Boehner.
We also must change the leadership in the House, have Boehner step down (which he will never do, as he has waited for this moment for his whole life) and get one of our wonderful outspoken Conservative members of the House who will stand up to this regime and NOT BACK DOWN or CAVE IN to the pressure. The leftists hate us anyway, what’s the difference? We need to hold on to our principles.
Dear PDX et al,
Trevor’s letter is exactly what we as citizens need to do.
Start a free blog. Invite your like minded friends to write too. Share your links on the blogsphere, twitter, facebook and the like.
I started a blog yesterday to vent my thoughts. Surprisingly I feel better and I am getting page views. People are writing back to me.
I find it amazing that people have never heard of Saul Alinsky. Well, people he’s Obama’s mentor. This election and everything from now till 2016 will be right out of Alinsky’s playbook.
Write, talk, debate and get involved. We are the only hope left for our children and this great United States of America.
Gingrich tried to stop the can from being kicked down the road, but he was accused of trying to shut down the Government, and he was pressured to cave-in by his House members, who feared it would hurt their re-elections.
I agree that the House can force Obama to “slow” his socialist program, but they probably will do what they have been doing for the past four years: funding “Continuing Resolutions” which give Obama the same money he got in the past year, without a budget that limits how that money is spent. This effectively makes him a King. That is how I think he funds all his private arms and armies of his Agencies, like HHS, EPA, Homeland Security militias, etc. Without a formal budget, he has operated without the Constitutional checks and balances since he became President.
They could start by an investigation of this election. It is becoming obvious to all that this election was stolen. Would we really sit still and allow an election to be stolen? No increase of the debt limit. No end of Bush tax cuts. Cut spending. Cut the size of government, some suggest 50% as in get rid of 50% of the federal employees. Resist all efforts to cut the military. What is the risk? Gridlock? A shutdown of federal government? Please, please shut down government! One more thing all Republicans need to understand; I will vote for any conservative who acts like a conservative but I will vote against a Republican who acts like a Democrat. I would much rather have a Democrat take my money and freedoms then a Republican that I voted for.
Sadly as to the point and honest as the letter is, it will fall on mainly deaf ears. The Republican Party has long since lost its principles in favor of the enjoyment and perks of political office. The moment when being a Congressman became a “Career” instead of citizen legislator is when the Republic was lost. At that moment America’s needs were subordinated to the ambitions of power and principle became just a talking point.
I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Wheeler and I agree that every Republican Congressman needs a copy to remind them what’s at stake. Given that Obama and many more Democrats were selected not elected on November 6th. Rampant voter fraud, suppression of the votes of our Military men and women and outright vote theft confirms free and fair elections are a thing of the past. So to all those so-called Republicans in Congress…good luck hope you are able to remember where you put your backbone.

The message that this open letter contains, applies to every mainstream conservative politician across the Occident.
Judging from past precedent, it is doubtful that they will have learned the lessons of Obama’s Second Coming: mainstream conservatives, animated as they are by essentially liberal sensibilities, will instead rationalise their defeat as “proof” of their not being “relevant enough”, which is code for not sufficiently embracing leftist pet-causes and pandering to leftist-created electoral groups. Pity. Our graves are dug by a tag-team of leftist thugs and their pseudo-opposition enablers.
As an aside: we have tried to make contact with the administrators of “New Zeal” for permission/confirmation of aggregating this website’s RSS feed on our page, but have not head back. Perhaps somebody could return our mail?
I would like to see a copy of this letter made available to every GOP congressman. What so you think would be the best way for me to do this?
I have been tweeting the link out to many in the House; including Boehner & Cantor, etc. Hopefully some will read it. It is very important.
You could print it out and fax or mail copies to all R’s in the House. Hey, I may do that too.
They just cannot cave!!! This is too important.
Thank you. Recently started tweeting. I didn’t know you could tweet directly to someone.
The BEST way to get the attention of each/every House member, print a copy of this and use a hand written cover letter. Nothing grabs attention these days more than handwritten ink to paper.
