Action Update:
Grass-roots revolt over ‘huge deception’ by Republican Party
Massive push for ouster of Boehner, McConnell
Late last evening, the 1600+ page CR-Omnibus bill was filed and as expected it funds the President’s executive amnesty through the end of February 2015. This is our last chance to stop this bad bill!
Call the list of Representatives below and tell them the following 3 things:
- Stop playing games
- Find some courage and stand up to the President’s abuse of power
- DO NOT fund executive amnesty
Our calls on Monday and Tuesday have made a difference because the bill was initially stalled. Now we have to show them that we are still paying attention!
The CR-Omnibus bill falls terribly short of anything we would want. Do the Republican leaders really think they can temporarily fund the President’s amnesty and get away with it?
Please make as many calls as you can!

Assault on American Liberty
They are ignoring millions of Americans who oppose this action and tens of thousands of people who have been urging them to honor their oath and defend the Constitution, the Senate Conservative Fund stated.
Gheen sees the actions of Boehner and McConnell as nothing short of a criminal conspiracy in which the two congressional leaders talk as if they are against amnesty while working to support it.
The vote on the spending bill is scheduled to take place within the next 12 to 48 hours.
On an earlier bill, House Bill 5759 that passed last Friday, the House leadership changed the text at the last minute, swapping out language that was meant to condemn Obama’s executive actions as illegal for language that actually gives Obama legal cover for his amnesty policies. The legal cover came in the form of an “exception” where amnesty would be allowed in cases where immigrants are at “imminent risk of serious bodily harm,” which is what Obama has been arguing all along was the pretext for granting amnesty.
So many of the Republican House members who thought they were voting in favor of stopping Obama’s executive amnesty were actually voting to protect the president from any legal challenges, as explained by Rep. Louie Gohmert in a statement over the weekend.
“Switching the text of that bill, a lot of people are shocked and in disbelief about Boehner’s procedural slight of hand,” Gheen said. “It is so disturbing to people that they don’t want to believe it’s true. ‘I hope this isn’t true’ or ‘this can’t be happening,’ they’re saying. There’s a lot of denial, it’s not really sinking in for some folks.”
But as more people get wind of the story coming out of Washington this week, more of them don’t like the way it smells, he said.
“From our viewpoint Boehner and McConnell are both too far gone, too closely tied into the Obama camp on immigration to ever be trusted,” he said.
ALIPAC has identified 30 Republican senators as against the Obama-Boehner-McConnell camp, which means they out-number the pro-amnesty Republicans by a 2-to-1 margin in the Senate. In the House the advantage for anti-amnesty lawmakers is even greater at 3 to 1.
“What we need right now is the phones to be ringing off the hook,” Gheen said. He believes that may be the only way to break up the “Obama-Boehner-McConnell amnesty plot” that 74 percent of voters in the last election oppose.
“That’s the ammo right there. That’s the sharp point that can break through this deception,” he said.
Gheen said he hopes the list of leaders calling for Boehner and McConnell to resign will continue to grow. He urges leaders any tea party or liberty groups, any government watchdog organizations, sheriffs or party leaders who wish to join the other 10 organizations to call him at 919-272-8238.

[Barack Obama didn’t sign the executive order so he couldn’t be prosecuted. This is the worst corruption.]~Rush Limbaugh
So now executive orders or memos have the force of law?? Why wouldn’t we be able to prosecute Obama? He is misappropriating the “peoples” money for something he legislated illegally. If Congress gives Obama funding for this, then they’ll be prosecuted too. ~Comment online
