Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have rolled out legislation that would provide an extra $1 billion in emergency funding, mandating that the White House tell Congress within 45 days how it will use the money....

Heck, if they can't kill Christians in the Middle East, then bring 'em here, they can kill the Christians that Americans won't.

Total crap. I’m not getting any interest income on the money in my savings account and may not get a COLA on my modest government retirement check this year because the government lies about the true inflation rate, but they find money to give to young Islamic men flooding the US who might be potential terrorists like the Boston bombers.

ya know, it just doesn’t sit right to use my earnings to pay someone to come into my country who would gladly kill & rape my family. Somehow I just don’t believe it’s my Christian duty to allow that to happen. Maybe I’m crazy.

Volunteering to cut Hurricane relief to those who voted for Linda and to transfer refugees to said flooded areas. Said ‘refugees’ need to learn what a disaster looks like.

And that’s the maddening part. We get to pay people to come here (7 years with all expenses covered!!) who would love to rape and enslave my daughters and slaughter my sons.

We are forced to give our money to the bad guys. What a crock.

Not until you return the 2.6 billion you took from the VA - our troops come FIRST - you bast*rd traitors.

We have thousands of homeless VETS - THEY NEED shelter and food - we have thousands of vets still waiting for care - still waiting for their disability.

Email, phone, every one of your reps - Crash their damn websites - flood their emails - keep their phone lines tied up....

and NO - we will nOT stand for 100’s of thousands of ISIS fighters, (80-90% are YOUNG MALES - NOT “FAMILIES”) masquerading - in plain sight - as ‘refugees’ to be allowed to invade our country.

“Allowed” did I say? Deliberately and with malice aforethought by our Pres_ent...

We stop them now - ore reap the whirlwind...

It’s treason against the American people is what it is.

Those responsible should be tried and punished for their crimes.

Treason is a capital offense.
