GOP House Science Committee Delusionals - Americans, now what are you going to do?

This is fresh news and fits right in with my little debate regarding the Republican disconnect from our planet's physical reality.  But I will have Graham Readfearn tell this story, thanks to DeSmogBlog's easy Republish option.  Although now with Trump and his cronies taking over all branches of our government what's a concerned citizen to do?  I don't know, but lots and lots of phone calls do make a difference up on the hill.

You know what happened? It worked.

Twenty-four hours after Republicans in Committee voted to get rid of this ethics committee, they backtracked and withdrew that initiative.

This means that the public pressure actually worked. The anger that American citizens felt yesterday had a positive result because people got active, people got involved. That’s what’s going to have to happen over the next four years during the Donald Trump years, and the Republican control of Congress years and the Republican controlled Senate years. ..."
