Happy Flag Day
Ah yes the Secret Seventy
Does anyone have a list of these mysterious unsung heroes ???
a list not a link
Anyone know who the 70 are?
According to The Blaze Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas) are the group of 70s spokes-persons and they are keeping the list secret as some on list are scared of Bohner and House leadership.
They are demanding that the house leadership only put a bill up for a vote that has a majority of Republican members support (51%)

BREAKING: Federal Judge Indicates He’s Likely To Block DACA
http://tucsoncitizen.com/hispanic-politico/tag/crane-v-napolitano/
A court challenge by federal immigration agents seeking to block President Barack Obama’s deferred-deportation initiative will probably succeed, a judge said.
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Dallas today put off his own decision on whether to grant the request for a preliminary injunction by 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs agents. He asked both sides to file additional arguments no later than May 6.
Could a Texas judge derail Obama’s DREAM Act amnesty plans?
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/05/06/could-texas-judge-derail-obama-dream-act-amnesty-plans/
On April 24, Judge Reed O’Connor concluded that the Obama administration’s policy of granting de facto amnesty to some people who entered the country illegally violates federal immigration law.
I am ashamed to admit that I gave money to Marco Rubio's & Scott Brown's Senate races. WTF happens to these bastards when they get to DC, or were they deceptive to their supporters to begin with? At least I feel good about the money I donated to help Michele Bachmann, Rand Paul & TED CRUZ!
Call and see if your Congressman is on the list, mine is Joe Heck, Nevada.
I sent this to letter to my rep. Lee Terry.
Rep Lee Terry,
I waited an hour last night trying to make a statement on your phone townhall meeting. I never got through, so I am writing concerning the immigration bill. I feel my family has a right to speak as our family helped start The Chicano Awareness Center in the 70’s and my grandmother, Jesse Sandoval, has a room named after her. Our grandparents came from Mexico decades ago. The people who came years ago were decent hardworking people. The people who have come in the last 10-15 years are different. Many are in gangs and intimidate the people of SO. My aunts are afraid to walk in the daytime in SO.
Please do not vote for the immigration bill. There are so many reasons, but know that when a liberal is in agreement with you, you are doing something wrong. I have 59 first cousins on one side, they have 129 children. Most of us grew up in South Omaha. Please do NOT vote with Rubio/Ryan. I was going to vote for Rubio in the primary, but will not because of his lies and manipulations on the immigration bill. This bill is being pushed just like Obamacare was, fast and without real thought and imput from citizens. If you do vote for this, you will lose the support of many people. I worked on your campaign in the past. I walked with you at the Cinco de Mayo festival and was angered when they let the democrat talk, but not you. I was baptized in that church and made my opinion clear to the priest. Please be brave and do the right thing.
Thank You,
The Spencer, Sandoval, Garcia, Garza, Gunia, Schreiber, Pantoja, Sinkevich, Palmersheim, too many to name...families.

IRS knowingly sends Billions in Fraudulent Refunds to Illegal Immigrants
A WTHR-TV Indianapolis investigative report exposes a fraudulent scheme wherein the IRS is sending $4.2 billion per year to illegal immigrants as an “additional child tax credit” for children who don’t even live in the U.S.
Further, the IRS and Congress have been ignoring the scheme for years. The Inspector General’s office has repeatedly identified the problem.

Transcript of the missing portion
The 70 members are petitioning for a special Republican conference meeting on the bill, a “highly unusual” move to go head-to-head with the speaker, according to Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas), who are serving as spokespersons for the group.
Beck adds: They have been put off by Boehner’s office for weeks
Snip
In this day and age, it is easy to paint all politicians as politically expedient fools, but the decision of these 70 Republicans to stand up to the majority is one of the most courageous acts we have seen in a long time. This issue is no longer political. It is moral.
1:32 (Beck inserts this, but is NOT on the transcript)
What’s going on – before the election President said hey we’re going to move in this direction – Ice can’t really arrest people – ICE can’t put illegals into deportation. (ICE didn’t have to enforce the law.)
Memos from ICE director, John Morton - wrote six memos required ICE to break the law by demanding they not enforce the current federal immigration law. Janet Napolitano agreed to the memos and right before the election 2012, the president created work permits for students under the DREAM Act – right before the election.
2:28
Here’s the thing
In a lawsuit filed in Texas Crane vs Napolitano Northern District of Texas Federal Court. The president said of ICE employees union said you can’t do that .They wanted to stop the president from unconstitutionally granting amnesty through executive action.
But there was no executive order. It was a presidential pronouncement. Not even an executive order – it was like written on the back of a napkin.
3:08
Judge Reed O’Connor agreed with the plaintiffs on 9 of 10 arguments and hasn’t ruled on the 10th yet.
The president is violating the separation of powers doctrine under the constitution. The president is the executive, he is not the congress. He is not a legislative body. The executive branch cannot legislate because that is a function of article 1 that belongs exclusively to congress. He is telling them what to do with legislation.
Today O’Connor’s decision has been ignored by ICE.
The president is violating the oath of office by failing to execute the laws of the US.
A number of times in history, congress has conformed legislation to supreme court decisions.
This is a constitutional travesty for congress to conform federal laws to the President’s unconstitutional pronouncements.
This is what they are trying to put a stop to. Here it is in federal court in Texas.
It has already been ruled in favor of the constitution in 9 of the 10 in Federal court here in Texas.
Judge doesn’t understand the president’s argument on the 10th.
Will give you more time before I rule on the 10th one
No word yet on what they’ve done on that 10th one.
So far – court says this doesn’t make sense. (10th)
4:50 (Below-quote is in the transcript)
These 70 people are standing up and saying ‘take away all of our power,’” Glenn said. “They know that if they lose, they lose. This is putting all of the chips on the table. You’ve been asking for it. We have been asking for people with a spine. This one is not going to be easy.”
Thanks for the transcript summary.
We need a good fist fight in Congress.
Oh GOD please let it happen. Amen.

Sorry to say-—third parties rarely succeed-—plus the USSC has ALWAYS upheld the two-party system.
The time/resources/energy spent on a third party alternative to the RNC is better spent on taking over the RNC......they have the legitimacy, the office, the vast organization, AND the nationwide list.
Pressure groups like the Tea Party. 2nd amend, patriots, etc are very valuable in this effort.
<><>Stop giving money to the RNC.
<><> Give money to the ones who vote like we tell them to vote.
<><> One bad vote wipes out 1,000 good votes.
<><> Take names and learn hows to research their voting record, and post their voting record here on Free Republic.
They all would rather have amnesty and try to get new workers on the payroll to try and replace the money they all stole from the social security fund.
It is much easier than admitting they stole all the money.
The time/resources/energy spent on a third party alternative to the RNC is better spent on taking over the RNC.....

But the RNC has a deal - via court or whatever, not to contest any elections. Can’t find the reference right now though.
Why didn't Republicans hear us and help when the IRS, FBI, EPA, etc were targeting us?
The Coulter question - Democrats don't waste money and time trying to 'win' gun owner groups or Christians conservatives. They consider it a waste of time. Yet democrats and their shills in the MSM advise Republicans to go for the black, gay, and hispanic vote... A total WASTE of our time and effort. Why are our leaders so stupid they take advice from people who hate them?
Democrats fight for their people. If the IRS had targeted liberal groups, dems would have been screaming about it from the start. When the IRS targets conservatives our 'leaders' are AWOL. How about dancing with the one that 'brung ya...

Vote? What good will voting do, after 70 million new democrats become legal citizens of this country?
Those who vote for amnesty have already crossed over to the traitor establishment. They'll shortly announce that they're switching over to the Democrat party, and laugh in your face as they do it.
The political war, yes, but the civil war will have just begun.
If only 70 are against it, the GOP leadership can change it to a more Dem-oriented bill to get Dem votes, right?
