    Actually, I just got an email from President Trump asking for my advice.

    The Democrats are getting more deranged by the day, which is why I need the advice of a few respected Republican leaders, like YOU, to help create my Official Republican Platform and Campaign Strategy for the 2020 Election Cycle.

    Signed by him, as POTUS even! (But from his campaign.)

    I can probably come up with some ... err... talking points for him. ;)

    Among other things, I mentioned in my letter to him; pointed out that the reason he's the Oval Office today is that he won Pa, Mi and Wi. All by a very slim margin. These are all states with lots of gun owners. If enough of them feel like I do, and don't vote for him again, he's done.

    Done. Quoted author David Kopel's first and last paragraph from his National Review article, Trump Must Not Break His Promises to Gun-Rights Supporters
    [FONT=&amp]
    “He is following in the footsteps of George H. W. Bush, who paid the price for his betrayal.


    Following the model of George H. W. Bush, Donald Trump is taking a major step toward becoming a one-term president. Bush thought he could become more popular by betraying his promises to defend the Second Amendment. Trump now feels the same; according to the New York Times, he has ordered his staff to work with Senate Republicans to pass a major gun-control package that would set the stage for gun confiscation.”

    “For over three decades I have been in close contact with grassroots gun-rights activists. In 2016 there were a few such activists who genuinely liked Trump; the vast majority viewed him with disgust, based on his character. Yet these same activists worked relentlessly to get gun owners to the polls and thereby carried Trump to narrow victories in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. If Trump follows through on his plans to betray them, they won’t forgive and they won’t forget.”[/FONT]

    Why not just tweet at him? I mean he spends at least an hour a day on Twitter. Don jr is pretty active on there as well. He is an avid hunter and seems to be a big 2nd amendment supporter.

    Although I didn't get much of a response from my email to the Whitehouse, apparently I'm on their email list now. Just got this a few minutes ago.

    Video: Border Patrol agents rescue 28 illegal aliens
    On Thursday, U.S. Border Patrol agents saved the lives of 28 illegal immigrants as they attempted to cross the Rio Grande River into America.

    These kinds of heroic acts—U.S. law enforcement officers putting their own lives at risk to save others—are the sort of stories that don’t make the news much anymore. Corporate media profits much more from division and anger than they do from uniting Americans.

    Watch: U.S. Border Patrol rescues 28 illegal aliens that smugglers abandoned

    These illegal aliens were the victims of human smugglers and included 14 children ranging from 8 months to 17 years of age. After they were left stranded in high-current waters, U.S. Border Patrol agents acted swiftly, pulling the Honduran nationals into their vessel and out of harm’s way.

    “These individuals found themselves in a life-threating situation, which is unfortunate and far too common as smugglers continue to show no empathy for people they attempt to cross illegally into the United States,” Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz said.

    “Had our agents not been there to provide rescue efforts, the situation could have ended in tragedy.”

    Remembering the forgotten men and women of America


    It wasn’t long ago that Washington had all but given up on our country’s blue-collar workers—especially those in the supposedly outdated manufacturing and energy sectors. The message that the “experts” tried to sell was that these industries were in decline, and with the rise of globalization, nothing could be done to change that.

    Former President Obama even famously mocked then-candidate Donald J. Trump’s pledge to bring these jobs back. “What magic wand do you have?” President Obama asked. It turns out no magic wand was necessary—just a President who was willing to fight for forgotten workers across our country with policies that put U.S. industry first.

    Watch: President Trump tours new Pennsylvania manufacturing plant

    From day one, President Trump challenged the Beltway’s prevailing wisdom and unleashed a policy agenda that’s made life easier for America’s small businesses. Employer and worker tax cuts, deregulation, and new trade deals have helped create more than 6.2 million jobs and driven the unemployment rate to a near 50-year low.

    While President Trump toured Shell’s new Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex, he explained that it’s a new dawn for American energy and manufacturing.

    “With your help, we’re not only unleashing American energy—we’re restoring the glory of American manufacturing, and we are reclaiming our noble heritage as a nation of builders again,” he told factory workers. All the while, the critics “expected you to stay on the sidelines, silence your voices, and surrender the future of our nation.”

    By 2020, the United States is now predicted to export more energy than it imports for the first time since 1953. Today, we're also the largest crude oil producer in the world.

    Blue-collar jobs are surging for the first time in decades. All told, 523,000 manufacturing jobs have been added since President Trump took office. Only 287,000 were created during all of President Obama’s final three years as commander in chief.

    Speaking in Detroit today, Vice President Mike Pence explained why. “Wages are rising at the fastest pace in more than a decade,” he told the Detroit Economic Club. “And maybe most important of all to the President and me: that wages are rising fastest for blue-collar working Americans. The forgotten men and women of America are forgotten no more.”

    By the numbers: American energy and manufacturing is back!

    David Urban: “Trump has kept his promise to revive manufacturing.”

    I sent Trump 2 emails and I'm getting the same stuff in my email now. I'll probably be receiving campaign donation requests soon.
    Good news is Trump may be finally getting it.

    I tried to. Him what I thought when I didn't vote for him. That didn't work out so great so I'm not sure a letter will help.

    Maybe after they take the guns, then we will have to get a loc to speak freely, then lose that as well.
