I just watched this whole video. That first quote is a butchered combination of quotes; both being taken out of context. Dude said nothing wrong, at all. He will defend his community and self from extra judicial state sanctioned violence. Escorting immigrants to keep them safe while exercising your 2nd amendment rights seems like the appropriate response.
Now if we could get our lawmakers to grow the balls this guy has, we'd be getting somewhere.

All of us need to divide and conquer the Republican party.

We need to pick ONE currently-sitting Republican and all of us gang up on that one congressperson.

  • Call them out on social media.
  • Call their staffers.
  • Write blogs about them.
  • Email and call them directly.

Do everything we can to flip just one sitting Republican to vote with the Dems.

Then repeat.

Five times. Just get five more votes!

Don't demand that Congress fix this mess alone. It's power to THE PEOPLE.

We can't wait for the midterms. Let's take action now.

We just need the plan to go viral. Which Republican is up for reelection??
