Another member of Congress has pledged to challenge the Electoral College vote submissions when the Joint Session of Congress meets Jan. 6, joining several others who said they will do so.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) wrote in a letter to Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) that “I intend to object to the certification of the Electoral College vote submissions on January 6th, and I respectfully ask you to stand with me.”
Neither Cornyn nor Cruz have publicly said whether they would challenge the votes. The process requires at least one House representative and one senator.

"We must stand up for the tens of millions of Americans who want answers" In other words Lance Gooden you are playing to the ignorant masses that don't have a clue what the purpose to the electoral college is. I seriously doubt if you actually know the purpose of the electoral college either. Quite frankly I don't want CA and NY and probably IL making all the decisions for America. That isn't what the founding fathers wanted for this great nation. There has been enough damage done by the elected idiots in Congress. How about instead of playing to the ignorant masses, you could do us all a service by educating them and yourself in the process.....

I guess Mitch has the photo album of his colleagues. Mitch has them frozen in their tracks.

Oh really??? I’m shocked. I thought they were ready to accept Joe and the duly elected president by a fair and square vote. Not to worry Mitch and his henchmen will put the hit squads out on them and they will wish they never got out of line.

This movement is gaining momentum. Mitch might have to hide in the basement with his friend the paedo if he opposes it.

Has Turtle reversed course and on board now? Didn't think so. Not yet, anyway.

Here is what Congress will be doing on January 6. Note the part about objections and what happens if certain electors are deemed to be not legal. There is something beyond the electoral college. This is it. There is nothing arbitrary about this process, and the flushing out of illegally selected electors is exceedingly important. #1 might want to have a read.

#8, McConnell married the daughter of a Chinese shipping magnate. IMO, that proves who he REALLY works for -- the ChiComs, just like Al Gore, Sr. really worked for the Kremlin.
Traitors in the Senate is a long tradition.

#1, Gooden isn't challenging the Electoral College as an institution
He is challenging the votes being certified and given to Biden under the circumstances of the major fraud being committed.

I have faith that some of the senators will stand up. Mitch may be powerful but he is not as powerful as 75+ voters for Trump.

I believe I just heard the crickets in the Senate tuning up and they are singing once again the strains of that old favorite “Go Along And Get Along”.....

I'm beginning to believe that you're a fool if you think "GOP Lawmakers" will come to the rescue.

Senators? Are you patriots or cowards? Men and women of integrity or Swamp Dwellers? This is Reagan’s time for choosing. My beef is that when it comes down to really big decisions in this country they are usually decided by a few men and women. However, I hope these senators take into consideration that President Trump won in a landslide and if they believe his voters will forget and forgive the choice you make, you are sorely mistaken. Hero or Villain? What is it going to be?

All I want for Christmas is a Senator with the temerity to offer a Constitutional Amendment repealing the 17th Amendment. Return the power of appointing and recalling Senators to State legislatures as the founders intended. The House represents thd interests of the people. The Senate represents the interests of the States!

"...the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when THEY AGREE that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by electors whose appointment has been so certified."
#9 - Think the Dems in the House will toss over ol' Joe, the UNIPARY candidate?

Do they think we aren’t taking notes and watching who isn’t supporting Trump!
They need to be vocally supporting him! We will unleash fury if they sit this out!!
