Unbelievable! ... Republican Leaders Are Actually
Trying To Tell You That Congress Is "Powerless" To Stop Barack Obama's Unlawful
And Tyrannical Amnesty Decree Because Doing So Would Require "An Act Of
Congress."
We couldn't make it up if we tried, and as unbelievable as it may sound, a number of Republican leaders in Congress are so anxious to give Barack Obama the funding he so desperately needs to implement his lawless and dictatorial amnesty decree that they're scrambling to make up clumsy lies in an attempt to deceive you into believing that they're "powerless" to stop him.
But they're NOT powerless to stop Barack Obama and, as a matter of fact, rank-and-file Republicans are already in open rebellion over this latest clumsy lie.
These rank-and-file Republicans desperately need your help... Representative Michele Bachmann and others are even planning a rally in Washington D.C. and are urging patriotic Americans to "melt the phone lines" in Washington.
We must heed this clarion call. Our elected officials need to hear the righteous indignation of patriotic Americans and they need to hear it now.
Lies... Lies... And Damned Lies...
The powerful Republican Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Hal Rogers, actually issued a press release which read, in part: "It would be impossible to defund President Obama's executive actions on immigration" because "the primary agency responsible for implementing Obama's actions is funded entirely by user fees."
But wait just a minute... who authorizes the collection of those "user fees?"... You guessed it... Congress. But Rogers and the so-called Republican leadership refuse to be daunted by simple reason, so much so that Rogers actually told reporters that stopping the collection of these user fees "would take an act of Congress."
You read that right. Congress is powerless to stop Barack Obama because doing so would require an act of Congress? If you're seeing red over this pathetic excuse, you're not the only one.
Rank-and-file Republicans and conservative pundits immediately denounced it:
Congressman Steve King called the so-called GOP leadership on the carpet:
"They're contriving red herring arguments to
get to the point that enough members will walk out of this Congress and
go home for Thanksgiving saying, 'Well, there's nothing we can do.'"
Senator Jeff Sessions blasted the leadership as well:
"The American people's Congress has the power
and every right to deny funding for unworthy activities. It is a routine
and constitutional application of congressional power. There is no
question that Congress has the power to block this expenditure and no
doubt that it can be done."
Senator Richard Shelby added:
"To say you can't do something, maybe we need
to explore more options... You can put a rider on a lot of things. There
are a lot of ways to skin a cat."
But Sean Davis with
The Federalist said it best: "That is
absolute nonsense. The notion that Congress can turn on a money spigot
but is banned from turning it off is nonsense. And the worst part is
that it's willful nonsense... Republicans can add defunding language to
any bill whenever they so choose. The issue is not that they can't use
the power of the purse to block Obama’s lawless power grab. The issue is
that they don't want to. The real shame is that they can’t even be
honest about that."
Yes, Republican leaders are deceiving the American people, but there is a way to fight the deceit. Patriotic Americans must call them on the lie. Because, if you don't, they'll only assume they've gotten away with their deceitful games and they'll hand the keys to Barack Obama on a silver platter.
But Wait... It Gets Worse... So-Called GOP Leaders Are Pressuring Rank-And-File Republicans To Fund Obama's Amnesty Decree Behind The Scenes.
Michelle Bachman spilled the beans. Here's how it was reported by Breitbart TV:
"Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) revealed on Saturday that Republican leadership, led by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), has no intention of resisting President Obama's executive amnesty that he ordered on Thursday."
"'Do you want the truth? Okay, I'll tell all of Breitbart listeners what happened this week. I was floored!'
"In the weekly meeting called 'Republican Conference' in the House of Representatives, 'we all knew that the big issue for the week was going to be the president announcing his amnesty,' she explained. Bachmann recounted that all of the leadership went to the microphone, including John Boehner.
"'They acted as though the amnesty issue wasn't even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what he's going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing,' Bachmann said.
"She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a 'brilliant strategy.'
"'We will not engage,' she reiterated with disgust. ... 'While the country is talking about amnesty, and the president is taking unconstitutional actions, our leadership wants to change the subject and not engage.'"
It's time to once again remind these so-called Republican leaders that the American people gave them a majority to STOP Barack Obama... NOT to rubber stamp his dictatorial decrees.
And make no mistake, taking no action places our country in dire peril.
If Congress relinquishes its Constitutional authority and funds this unconstitutional amnesty decree, what exactly will be left to stop Obama’s lawlessness? The time to hold Congress’ feet to the fire is right now!
