IF YOU DO NOT WANT AMNESTY THEN NEED TO TAKE ACTION AND SPREAD THE WORD TOMORROW!... OTHERWISE LEARN SPANISH! GOP leaders are NOT planning to stop Pres. Obamas unilateral amnesty . . . They loudly oppose it with their mouths but are prepared to let it stand OUR MASSIVE PHONE CAMPAIGN STARTS WEDNESDAY TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS We have a lot of things planned for you so you can be a fully active partner with our allies in Congress who are doing everything they can to stop this amnesty. Im going to provide quite a lot of explanation in this email so that you know what we know. But when the Action Alerts start arriving, we will be limiting ourselves to simple requests for you to deliver simple messages to Congress. Heres the key message to your Members of Congress when you start phoning as soon as Congress arrives back in the Capitol on Wednesday morning: • Dont give away your power of the purse to defund amnesty. • Insist on a SHORT-TERM SPENDING BILL. • Reject any long-term omnibus spending bill that takes away your ability to stop an executive amnesty early next year. HERES THE DIRE DANGER WE ARE IN If you were like me, you got very excited to see so many Republican congressional leaders standing up to Pres. Obama at the White House last Friday and in other venues decrying his continuing announcements that before the end of the year he will declare an amnesty that Congress has refused to declare. But when our staff and the staff of our allies in Congress look at the words of the Republican leaders -- particularly of Senate Minority Leader McConnell and House Speaker Boehner -- they fail to find any promise to take away all funding from Pres. Obama to carry out his executive amnesty. Right now, it looks like the GOP leaders are prepared to make political hay in vocally opposing the President. But they also are planning to take away the ability of Congress to defund his actions. Yes, you read that right. Outrageous. But we have no reason to believe otherwise at this moment. Surely you wont let them get away with that. How would Sen. McConnell and Speaker Boehner do it? By allowing passage of an omnibus spending bill over the next few weeks that would fund the government through next September. During that time, opponents of amnesty would lose the one tool that is available to them to stop Pres. Obamas amnesty before millions more illegal aliens get work permits. HAPPY VETERANS DAY. PLEASE HONOR ALL WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN UNIFORM BY JOINING IN THIS BATTLE Will you please join the citizen army over the next 10 days and serve with distinction? THIS WEEK: The phones in Congress have to ring constantly until the Members leave town Friday afternoon. NEXT WEEK: And then, we have to start it all up again throughout next week to achieve our first goal. 1st GOAL: Ensure that Congress leaves on Thanksgiving vacation without passing an OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL. Why? Theoretically, the House of Representatives could start the omnibus spending bill with a provision prohibiting any money be used for an executive amnesty. But Senate Majority Leader Reid has shown in the past that he wont bring up a bill like that. He is likely to force a shutdown of the government rather than accept defunding language, but the House would probably get blamed. As long as Reid and his Democratic colleagues are in the majority in the Senate (only through December), we cannot hope to get any spending bill to Pres. Obamas desk if it includes any defunding language. That means a short-term spending bill also could not get to the Presidents desk with defunding language. But a short-term spending bill would require the new Congress to pass another spending bill early next year. Reid would no longer be in charge of the Senate. It is assumed that the next spending bill would have defunding language in it and would go to Pres. Obamas desk. At that point, it would be the President and not any chamber of Congress who would have a choice of signing or shutting down the government. 2nd GOAL: Pass a short-term spending bill before Christmas. 1st WEEK IN DECEMBER: If we have blocked the omnibus spending bill before Thanksgiving, we can devote our wall-to-wall December phoning to pressing House Members to push Speaker Boehner to bring to a vote a short-term spending bill that will keep the government operating only until mid-winter. It will then be up to Sen. Reid to decide whether his commitment to protecting Pres. Obamas executive amnesty is worth his being blamed fro shutting down government because he refuses to bring the spending bill (which will NOT have any defunding language) to the Senate floor. We cannot be sure of how clean the outcomes will be while we have a President who seems intent on expanding executive power to nullify the Constitutional rights of Congress as far as he can get away with. But we see no other course of actions at this time. Send faxes now Nobody is in the congressional offices today to answer the phone, but you can go ahead and have faxes waiting for the staff when they arrive on Wednesday. Make sure you have taken all the actions on your Action Board.
