Maybe Pence will save the Republic! Lol.

Like he saved RFRA as governor in Indiana.

I got an (unwanted, unsolicited, how did I end up on this list) email from Pence’s campaign the other day. Full of verbiage describing America’s need to turn back to God, and blah, blah, blah. I don’t know how he can say all of that with a straight face anymore.

Yea I just wanna puke. He is the biggest traitor I have ever seen in my lifetime. I hope he’s the first to bow out.

The 3%ers, Pence, Haley, Christie, ad nauseum are just in it for the money.

They take the donations, drop out when the grifting dries up, and the money is then theirs. This is a real thing for Republicans.

This is why they like to keep the base stirred up and angry and looking for someone to fix it all the time.

I didn’t even know the “could” do that. :(

I just recently read a reliable article about it. Also, they are willing pawns in the game to try and siphon off votes. They know they don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.

I received an unsolicited letter for donations also. I wrote a very restrained but lengthy letter, explaining my reasons for not sending him money and asking who would be considered his supporters, or base. I shoved it in his prepaid envelope and await the next request to share further thoughts without funds. Anyone (almost) but Pence.

I briefly considered replying the today’s email (!! I just got one yesterday) but opted instead to simply unsubscribe.

Hit the unsubscribe button - let ‘em know we aren’t interested.

I just could not believe the one I got today, all about God. I wanted to write back and say, well, then how come you caved on RFRA, but I opted to not expend that energy. Maybe I should have. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I responded to the state Republican Party message crowing about funding healthcare in the state last session 🤬 Who knows if anyone will read it or care but it felt good to say something!

Here is what I wrote:

As a long time Republican and small government conservative, I have to say,

I am absolutely disgusted that the supposedly conservative

Republicans in this state voted to increase the reach and

influence of our government, especially after the ridiculous overreach

during Covid that resulted in so many negative consequences

for our children, our elderly and all Hoosier citizens. It is unconscionable

that the Republicans want to give the health department that blindly

followed unscientific and damaging CDC policies more power and a

bigger budget. I will NOT be giving the GOP of this state any financial

support or contributions.

Please keep giving feedback like that to your elected state Representative and Senator and to your state Party officials, and certainly to the fundraising arm. We're in an internal war inside the Republican Party, and the RINO wing just denies the reality that our side seems to see. 'Nickels and noses' is what they pay attention to (if they can overcome the influence of the hidden PAC shell game money and influence).

If they’re counting noses, I guess they refuse to look at footage from Trump rallies. If any here have not checked that out for whatever reason, you might find that doing so would be tremendously encouraging just to see how many people don’t buy the lies. That is, unless TDS is keeping you in bondage to lies.

Good for you!

I’m in the process of writing thank you notes to each legislator who voted against the odious bill.

I must’ve missed that state GOP email, or maybe I get only my county GOP emails. And yeah, never give the party any money.

Thank you!!

Great job writing thank you letters, good idea!

Good letter! We shouldn’t get discouraged. Even if it’s some underling handling the mail, you never know who you may influence. But it does get exhausting, coming from so many directions.

I ended up retrieving the message from Trash and wrote a response. These folks need to hear what we think.

Yeah that’s just weird I’m sorry 😳 Though I do have to give him props for his rule of not having meals alone with a woman other than his wife. In that political context it was definitely wise and respectful (if true of course, who knows if you can really believe him).
