The Betrayal Continues
In a key cloture vote today, the Senate Bill that would grant amnesty to 12-20 million illegals--including felons--lived to breathe another day. This vote--barring a miracle--almost guarantees the atrocious Senate bill will pass. The best chance of stopping this now may be the House of Representatives; but at least in the House there is some good news.
Still here is the bottom line: this bill may or may not make it to the President's desk, and the difference in which outcome happens will very likely be up to you. That is not asking much: if the soldiers in the American Revolution had just thrown up their hands and given up over that brutal winter at Valley Forge; if President Lincoln had buckled in early 1864 under the enormous pressure of an unpopular war where the Union was suffering tens of thousands of casualties per month and which the North was losing; if the 101st Airborne had not held out at Bastogne until General Patton arrived--if any of these "against all odds" situations had turned out differently, then we probably not be living in the same prosperous country we live in today.
But you see--they did hold on, even though their cause appeared to be lost. And if they could hold on and perservere; if our fighting men and women, who are trying to kill the mass murderers before they kill us, can face death every single day in a godawful place--then we in our comfortable lives can get damn well get off of our butts and write a few emails and make a few phone calls to save our country.
If you agree that this bill would be a disaster for the United States and for our national security, and if you want the elites in their ivory tower take us and protecting our borders seriously--then you need to be heard. Call your Senator, your Congressman, the RNC, your local party offices, and the NRSC. Do not go gently into that good night, and don't let these cowards sell our country down the river.
