When I woke up on October 2, 2020, I figured it would be like most Fridays in DC. Congress would finish up the week with a few votes on the House Floor and then members would rush to Reagan National Airport to catch a flight home. Polly and I had a mid-afternoon flight; however, we weren’t headed home. We were going to Wisconsin to help a colleague raise funds and to attend the President’s rally in Green Bay…. As I started to put on my workout gear before heading to the House gym, I took a look at my phone. I noticed I had several text messages and missed phone calls from Russell Dye, the top media staffer for our personal office and for Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Some of the calls and messages were from after midnight…. I called him right away.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
He responded, “Sir, the president has the virus!”
I turned on the TV. It was the only story.… I had traveled to Cleveland with the president three days earlier—I knew I’d have to quarantine until I got tested. I’d been tested before the flight to Cleveland, but that wouldn’t matter now. I’d have to get a new test. No workout this morning, no flight to Wisconsin this afternoon…. First things first. I was scheduled for a Fox and Friends interview that morning in the eight o’clock hour. I grabbed a quick shower and then headed to the office to prep for the interview. We were supposed to discuss the election and how the president was doing in Ohio. But we knew the only topic would be the president contracting the virus…. An hour later I got tested in the House physician’s office.… On that drive home Polly and I talked about all that had transpired that morning. We talked about the president and first lady, and like millions of other Americans, we prayed for their health and for our country. Over the weekend I thought about that day—that one day—Friday, October 2, 2020: it was really a picture of the entire year. 2020 was about the virus and the presidential election. 2020 was all about politics.
Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp Reviews

We need more politicians like Representative Jim Jordan. I appreciate his enthusiasm, dedication, love of freedom and country, and honesty. This book was an interesting look at his life as a congressman.
Quotes:
“Freedom coupled with hard work is what allows people to reach their goals and dreams.”
“This book is the story of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC)- the events that led to its formation, the people who made it happen, and the way we have strived to make a difference for the countless Americans who feel Washington doesn’t represent them.”
As for “public financing of campaigns: The very people who created the mess in Washington now want you to pay for them to stay there. They want your tax dollars to run their campaigns so they can stay in office to raise your taxes. Such a deal!”
“Finally, to add insult to injury, some Democrat officials praised the protesters, called for more unrest, and raised bail money for them. And the COVID rules never seemed to apply to these protestors. The guy who opens his business gets in more trouble than the guy who burns it down.”
“We see the biggest threat to America not coming from outside, but from within; from the radical left who wants an ever-expanding federal government. A government that uses identity politics to define Americans by groups, and by doing so, divides our country and limits our freedom.” -
A real account of what goes on at the Capitol. Congressman Jordan discusses major events dating back to the Obama administration and gives straight facts. Jim Jordan is the real deal and fights hard for what Americans deserve. It doesn’t really matter what side of the political aisle one falls, if a common ground could be found, we can all get along. He also encourages us to continue fighting the good fight.
Thank you Congressman Jordan for everything you do for hardworking Americans! -
I really like Jim Jordan - He's one of the few honest people in Congress. It's not a well written book, - the book read like he was pouring out his disappointment in many of his fellow Congress members. Well, I think he's a very good Congressman - but not a great writer, but he got his points across.

Excellent book. When will the Democrats be held accountable for all the hoaxes, frauds,lies, power grabbing and lives they have destroyed? Americans need to take our rights back.
