REPUBLICANS should have been a firewall between us and tyrants. (They are useful idiots instead.)

I posted some audio from a Voter ID town hall held by Governor Ricketts a while back. I promised to follow up and share the responses I received. Senator Linehan still has yet to respond, even after being sent a reminder. I did get some interesting responses (nay, excuses!) from Governor Ricketts' office, though.

Those emails (as well as some others) can be viewed here:

When I ran for office, I did so alongside other candidates running for constitutional offices in our state who promised, as I did, to be a "firewall" between the people and socialism/communism, tyranny, and all forms of government overreach. Why aren't our currently serving Republicans in government acting as a "firewall" to protect our constitutional rights? Hmmmm? Instead of defending OUR rights, they defend their peers in government. If they put as much effort into protecting our rights as they did into generating excuses for why they are not, we'd be a hell of a lot better off than we are right now. Why are our concerns about threats to our rights not their concerns as well?
