He represents Idaho and for one hour by phone, talked to citizens about their concerns.

1. Border protection. Fulcher told us that is one of his concerns too and that legal migrants are welcome but those breaking the law are not welcome.
2. Gun laws. He supports the 2nd amendment protections for all of us.
3. Oil pipeline in America from Canada. Surprisingly to me, he thinks courts will stop Biden and force the route to be remaining approved. (I hope he is right)
We had two polls to reply to and I replied to both. Guns were a hot issue and i support our constitution as normal.

Have any of you got the chance to participate in a live phone broadcast like that?
 
It says a great deal about Republican politics that the main concerns of an Idaho congressman is a border over 1,000 miles away and oil pipelines that are hundred of miles from his state.

Great job.

I have not had the honor or pleasure to participate in such a live conference. It is a time issue for me. My wife and I working full-time and raising a one year-old doesn’t leave much time and energy for such civic activities.
 
Biden wants oil prices to go up for some reason. I suppose if he can drive them up high enough, it will help his buddy Al Gore explain how Green is cheaper.

That's the same tactic Obama used in respect to coal.

I've had several invitations but I've declined.
 
I was on a call recently and I can tell you none of those topics came up.
Healthcare
Minimum wage
Vaccines
Student loans
Schools reopening
Those were some the things being discussed on the people on the call.
I understand more everyday why it's so hard to get anything done we/ they don't even have a starting point.

not a live broadcast but I get emails weekly from my congressman and when I do respond to them I get a response back. I’m sure it’s probably from an aide but they usually address any concerns I bring forth

And what did he say specifically about the 11 million illegal alien Amnesty Bill the dims are trying?

Also, Russ Fulcher hasn't got a clue about that dangers of our High legal immigration

That is a new one for me?

Fulcher had called me using a robot call the day ahead. He said that if I did not want to be on the live call, dial some number to be left off. I decided to see what was going on Wednesday so got another robot call that it was live and kept listening to my cell phone. It lasted an hour in all.

I do not remember him speaking of a specific bill in process. His focus is on keeping the Trump system alive and working like a clock.
I would not make that kind of remark about Russ Fulcher as the man was very well informed.
I will check his web site to see if he posted a transcript.

Looks like he didn't address even one concern of Idaho voters. He threw out some red meat and avoided the real issues voters in the State are concerned with. Good way to avoid having to be accountable for results.

Or hell, like a Jr Representative from NY State bragging she went to TX to hand out money.

Russ was asked by a caller about the Border and the pipeline.

How does not doing something drive prices up? If he left things as they are currently, wouldn't the prices stay the same?

Oh no, he reacted to Idaho callers and addressed their concerns. In one hour of the callers asking questions then Russ giving answers, as complete as his were, one only got maybe 12-16 questions in all.

Easy to explain. The current Keystone pipeline works as Trump planned along with Canada and the TC group and customers.

The one Blocked by Biden was under construction. Biden killed that but there is hope after listening to Fulcher Biden will be reversed by our court system.

The nitty gritty of price is cost to transport. Biden did not stop the oil at all. Biden merely let it still show up by rail car. Rail charges $30 per bbl vs pipeline costs of $10 per bbl. The public will pay the price if the rest of the system is not reopened.

Riiiiiiight.....but the pipeline wasn't built yet.... The oil companies were passing savings along to consumers in anticipation of future cost reduction? How is the oil moving now?

You know that Idaho has an international boundary right?

in any event it’s the concern of everyone what border policy is, Minnesota doesn’t border Somalia but the left filled them with Somalis to politically stack them permanently to the left.

Fulcher did mention growth. Says Idaho is the fastest growing now. I know from talking to residents here that the fear CA voters will overcome this state is genuine. I was told to not mention being native of CA and only coming to live her in 2019. I notice that when homes go up for sale, they are sold very fast and prices are rising. My past Real Estate Broker experience means I keep an eye on their market.

AOC was trying to help desperate people in the middle of a crisis while their own leaders were running away or looking for scapegoats.

Why the hell does an Idaho Republican care about a border wall? Idaho is one of the whitest states in the country.

Why do you care about a pipeline that is hundreds of miles away? What possible benefit does Idaho or it's people see from that?

Plenty of Idahoans might have gone to work on such a pipeline since major projects like pipelines being workers from around the country.
