The horrific assault on our Republic that resulted in 34 (!!) felony convictions of former president Donald Trump has reverberated across the nation. The blight on our nation caused by every Democrat who has had a hand in the banana republic disgrace of an American president being paraded around in a clown court, a Soviet-style show trial, makes a mockery of the very foundations of this (once?) great country. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is spear-heading a campaign among U.S. senators to stop cooperating with the corrupt Biden administration on legislative matters that do not directly affect the American people.

I see the weasel John Cornyn is missing. No surprise, sadly. But I am disappointed to see Ted Cruz's signature missing.

Senator Kennedy has become something of a hero to me for his honesty and manner of putting things. Ted Cruz also.Time for him and the rest of those under the conservative umbrella to sign up. People are watching them for some sign of honesty and loyalty to their professed principles.

One of my KS Senators, Roger Marshall, has joined the group. Our other Senator is worthless Jerry Moran.

#9 - In the course of digesting political news 7 days a week over many years you always hear something about each of our 100 Senators, both the good and the bad. Maybe you can't name every one of them from memory and what state they represent but you've at least heard their names in passing. But Jerry Moran? Honestly, I've never heard of him.

Re #10, he's a worthless, follow the pack RINO and I despise him. It appears that he may be not running again. If so, it would be wonderful. Maybe we could get another good Senator.

I sent my letter to Senator Hagerty who has yet to support his colleague Sen Blackburn in TN... a very very red state. Get with is Bill or we can find another less spineless Volunteer in this state.

10 can do a lot of damage if they stick together. Especially when the RINOs start attacking them.

The American people need to stop voting for congress critters based solely on the "R" or "D" or their longevity and pay close attention to actions and records. It their choice is "none of the above" in the primary then run themselves. They can't blame the RINOs and chair warmers if they voted for them. People like AOC and the squad members should never get into office in the first place. People like Maxine Waters couldn't clean a bathroom properly, how do they achieve power when they don't even appear on the lowest segment of the Bell Curve?

As others have asked, why only ten? I’m disappointed but not surprised that my two RINOs from Idaho are MIA. Typical.

This is a good start, Sen. Lee.
Yes, notice how quiet Trump's most vocal pubbie critics like Turtle, Pierre Delecto, Lizzard, and Kinzie have been since Merchan's and Bragg's kangaroo court convicted Trump. Only 10 pubbie senators stood up? Disgusting.
How many in the House have stood up. How many in state government have stood up. But at least pubbie state attorney generals have stood up. {Please wait}

Oh, so NOW it's a problem. And NOW they won't cooperate with the democrat agenda to destroy the country. That agenda that goes back many decades and is finally bearing poisoned fruit. I have to ask, when have the democrats ever cooperated with pushing the republican agenda when they didn't get more out of it than we did?
Congressional republicans, past and present, are largely complicit with the mess that we find ourselves in today. They failed to fight harder for what is right. And we, the people are every bit as responsible for allowing it to continue.

Neither of my senators’ names is on the letter, both are Republicans and one of them is supposedly on Trump’s VP short list. Disgusting. I have emailed both expressing my disappointment and telling them to man up or lose my vote. Not that it will help, but it’s cathartic.

WOW, 10 Republican Senators FINNALY see what most of their voters have known for years. That the dems are a dishonest, scheming, distrustful bunch of power hungry jerks, that are not in any way interested in doing what is best for the country and Americans.
Welcome to our would senators. Good to see you finally realize what is really going on.

Our government is so corrupt...nothing surprises me when it comes to directives coming from the government.....the best WE can do is push forward towards November 2024...and hope that the MAGA RNC is on top of this mess....America is awake and ready for Obama/biden's swamp creatures.....

It is a crying shame that there are only ten of them.
And how many (few) are actually serious about it, and not just posturing?

Apparently, the GOP is still dominated by RINOs. Take note of those Senators not on this list of 10 and don’t support them.

I would not use signing a virture-signalling letter to judge a Republican senator's bona fides. Cruz and a handful of other senators have solid conservative voting records, such that they have no need to duck a RINO label by signing a non-binding policy statement. If Cornyn, the Texas senator with a blue tinge, had signed, it would be an obvious sham, as a little conservative grandstanding cannot erase Cornyn's non-conservative record, developed and degraded over time. Since Mike Lee is not one of my senators, I'm not sure he has a pristine conservative voting record or whether he is more Cruz-like or Cornyn-like. During most of our country's 250 years, inter-party cooperation, owing to our Constitution's government design and structure, wasn't as starkly wrong as it is today, as a majority of democrats were at least not blatantly anti-American / pro-communist, pro-Islamic jihad as the democrats have revealed themselves to be circa 2024. Some of the older Republicans, like McConnell, never read the writing on the wall, post 1980s, as democrats went full leftist, a bit slowly at first, then full steam ahead, under their "progressive" banner.

The DEATHS of thousands of heroic Americans who gave their lives in WW2 to thwart totalitarianism had NO INFLUENCE on “jurors” who obediently voted to convict Trump. These obedient lackeys likely would have also voted for Hillary. The communists control many of the”blue” cities today and so results like this are to be expected. A Trump defeat in the upcoming elections will be the final nail in America’s coffin and will portend MUCH worse for America and Americans going forward, so try to bring it on COMMIES.

Meanwhile, back in DC... we still have Nancy Pelosi's budget being funded with non-stop continuing resolutions. If you want to make a difference, take ownership of the purse strings!
