Muscular.
If there's a word I would use to define today's grassroots, it's muscular. We've become the seasoned MMA fighter who looks forward to getting into the ring and we know what to do when we get in there.
I remember April 15, 2009, very well. I helped to start the Tea Party in Des Moines, Iowa. I was the anchor speaker that day at the capitol. 3,500 people showed up. I gave away ten of Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny books to the crowd. We had an eight-foot tall Declaration of Independence that people signed for the event. It was thrilling.

But it didn't change a thing. We didn't understand elections or campaigns or politics. We were a bunch of novices.
That was over 15 years ago.
We've worked campaigns. We've gotten our sea legs underneath us. We organize now and we message and we see it all very clearly now.
So, when the Joni Ernsts of the world want to sabotage someone our President needs, we move quickly and efficiently. Yesterday, X blew up all day right in her face.
Here is Joni Ernst praising trans in the military. She says she wants a 🏳️⚧️ fighting force.

Maybe this is why she’s leading the charge against Hegseth?
People in Iowa have a well-funded primary challenger ready against her. Her political career is in serious jeopardy.… pic.twitter.com/ByllMoDzLG
We're already moving against her. The primary is on. In a single day.
Here in Texas, the speaker's race heats up as the current speaker appears to be out. Organization and grassroots pressure push our priorities to the top of mind for lawmakers. The 89th legislative session hasn't started and it's already historic.
We seek representatives. If those elected don't represent, they will be replaced. We know how to do that. We're happy to do that.
Muscular indeed, and ready to fight.

I don't think so Jodi
Amen - no Jodi.
those who refuse to listen will be replaced. Believe it. We have already done it and we will do it some more!
absolutely spot on, and don't it feel good to be a gangster!
