CAUCUS ROOM CONSPIRACY: Sedition, Corporate Fascism, Economic Sabotage, 01-20-09;
<<>>
“GOP’s Anti-Obama Campaign Started Night of Inauguration” ~ @samsteinhp;
Excerpts from Robert Draper’s 2012 Book:
“Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the US House  of Representatives”
<<>>
“Plotted ways to not just win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama’s legislative agenda”
<<>> 
GOP planned the sabotage of the entire American Economy for 4 years; Legislative obstruction of the Obama Presidency began on Inauguration Night in a restaurant meeting of 15+ GOP Tea Operatives including:
(8 GOP US House  Reps) (5 GOP US Senators) (2 Strategists)
<<>>
Due to 2010 census gerrymandering by Republican/T state houses, the GOP won in the 2010 Citizens (Corp Free-Unlimited Speech) United attack-ad election.  Democratic U.S. Reps beat Republican/Ts by 1.1 million votes, but the GOP Koch-Tea House got a 33 vote majority in the 435 member legislative body, a gerrymandering outcome.

{ Saul Alinsky saw the American Conservative Movement and it’s attacks on the social safety net (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment, etc) coming in the 1960’s.  He hated both Nazis and Communists and he gave the poor a voice.  Fox News and former Republican House Speaker, who received the highest fines in Congressional history at the time, still hate the influence and tarnish the memory of Saul Alinsky. ~ IGRPP }
