What is really amazing is that the rhino contingent in the House are joined at the hip with the dims and have managed to block conservative legislative measures consistently for the last three sessions I have followed closely were somehow convinced to support this bill. Hall must be a miracle worker to have managed to get this cooperation between both legislative bodies on this critical subject.

According to Senator Hall, he relies on God to do the miracles! One thing is for sure: He gave Senator Hall the people support he needed, when he needed it. This brings to mind what God ordained for his creatures - "life is a gift from God, what you do with it is your gift back to Him'.

Its not just "Texas" RINO's "joined at the hip" with the cabal of liberals, progressives, Socialists (and) Communists who ARE the Democratic "party" today - hell bent on turning Texas BLUE - anyone watching the RINO's in the US House of Representatives - up to 100 of them - voting in lockstep with the en masse "NO" votes by the "DemoKKKrats" during the past several days as seen on CSPAN-1 TV - from the House floor - was depressing and absolutely disgusting!

The entire episode was about trying to REDUCE "spending" next fiscal year - back to 2019 levels at treasury and the Biden administration BILLIONS of dollars slush funds. The only floor vote that did pass was on reducing "Pete" Buttwhatshisname salary too $1.00. The RINO's clearly have NO intention to try and even slow down the runaway federal government spending spree.

Unfortunately, trying to get the NAMES of these RINO's via the "public record" is purposefully obscured.

Totally agree. We can only pay close attention to how our reps behave and vote accordingly. I am pretty happy with ours, Chip Roy. The rhinos need to go.

I was hoping Chip would try for Speaker - but from what I see so far, Mike Johnson may be the best Speaker of the past half century. His Constitutional background is VERY encouraging.

Just as Bob Hall attributes his accomplishments to God, I think Mike Johnson does the same. It does seem somewhat like a miracle that we ended up with someone like him as Speaker.

AHH-MEN to THAT, Anne!

Let's hope his Heavenly Armor is impenetrable by the Collective leftist Devils.

John Cornyn represents to me a big fat X on the page where the questions of if we have free and open elections. His X is beside the NO column.

If you want to get back control of the nation we will have to take it one county commissioner and School board member at a time. I'm retiring from my first profession soon in order to do that full-time.

ABSOLUTELY agree (about Cornyn), Deborah!

And how wonderful and encouraging to know you will soon be "in the ring" full time in our literally life and death fight against the cabal of liberals, progressives, Socialists, Communists - and (incredibly) MAOISTS of the Collective Left who INFEST virtually EVERY institution extant in the USA today.

Same thing in Idaho. RINOS all the way down (with a few notable exceptions, especially in the Idaho Freedom Caucus).

THAT is not good news, E. I'm going to contact Mike Johnson's Office in DC and see if I can get a list of RINO names who all voted with the DemoKKKrats AGAINST reducing Congressional spending to 2019 levels. Those cockroaches MUST be EPOSED and EXTIRPATED from office.

If you know a bill number or title (or even the general topic), you can find how each representative voted and you can track a bill. Start with the US Congress website at https://www.congress.gov/ or go to the friendlier Govtrack.US site at https://www.govtrack.us/.

Example, start at Govtrack.US and type HR 79 (WHO Withdrawal Bill) into the search box. YouтАЩll be greeted with sponsors, status, etc. for that bill. Links at https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr79

allow you to drill down into the details.

I didnтАЩt have enough information (or time) to research the exact bill number or title mentioned by Tom Daniel above.

Thanks, Big E... Your last paragraph get to the heart of the matter... MOST people will not take the time nor pursue the info - including me. Shame on ME!

But many thanks for the LINKS - which I will BOOKMARK!

So very glad to help! Now you and other readers have the tools to research more quickly.

FWIW, I created a little voter guide while trying to teach myself how the voting process worked, particularly in our new state of Idaho. I was a complete newbie until I began my journey down the rabbit hole in October 2021. The voter guide is here: https://eolson47.substack.com/p/idaho-voting-guide-updated-91423

One of my mottos comes from my experience teaching English as a Second Language in 1980s San Diego. We used the Laubach Literacy Method of тАЬEach One Teach One.тАЭ Well, now that we have the internet and Substack, the motto has changed to тАЬEach One Teach Many.тАЭ
