COURAGE: 70 House Republicans to push back against immigration bill
Thursday, Jun 13, 2013

First, go and watch 14 minutes and 55 seconds of Glenn Becks video on this subject.

This morning, TheBlaze exclusively reported that 70 House Republicans are planning for a showdown with Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) over the immigration bill congressional leadership is trying to push through by July 4.

According to TheBlaze:

Seventy House Republicans are planning a politically risky showdown with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio)
to try to force additional debate on an immigration bill they say will mean amnesty for illegal immigrants and have dire consequences for the country.

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.

“So today we are going to be releasing the names of 70 Republicans that have – they’re House members that have signed a petition
requiring that John Boehner hold a special Republican conference meeting on the amnesty bill,” Glenn said on radio this morning.

This group of Republicans feels there has not been a sufficient conversation about the legislation,
and they hope such a conference will allow for a debate of the pros and cons of passing a bill that will most likely lead to amnesty.

Glenn described what will happen on Capitol Hill over the next few weeks:
What’s going to happen in the next few weeks, possibly by July 4th, the Senate will pass the amnesty bill.
At the same time the House is going to pass a Trojan horse bill that will sound good and that will secure the borders.
The problem with that is
they’re both going to be sent to conference committee,
where amnesty is going to be added to the Trojan horse bill.
The Senate will vote yes on final passage and send it to the House.
Led by Nancy Pelosi, the House Democrats will ALL vote for the bill
because it will assure permanent Democratic political majority,
and a few Republican committee chairs will provide the final votes needed for passage.
That way the president will have amnesty for illegals
and the country will be fast‑tracked to ,b>permanent progressivism.

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.

“These 70 people are standing up and saying ,b>‘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.”

We have been bombarded with story after story about scandals that attack our freedom and liberty.
And while it might seem like we are in a fight to protect our own freedom, Glenn explained
that the fight is much, much larger.
We have gotten to the point where we are defending MAN’s freedom.

“Because this isn’t about you.
This isn’t about your stuff.
This isn’t about your freedom,” Glenn said.
“This isn’t about us!
History may never remember any of our names!
History may indeed record our names as villains if we lose.
I only want my name in one book.
I want my name in the Book of Life.
I want my name to be the size of John Hancock.
When I get there and the Lord asks me,
‘What did you do for man’s freedom,’
I want you to be able to say,
‘Open your book.
That is my name.
Written the size of my hand, that is my name!’ ”

The fear is that we are turning into mice.
We recognize the problem, we strive for solutions, but we scurry away when faced with the problem head-on.
We no longer have time to sit around waiting for other people to clean up our mess.
We MUST STAND.

“Write your name in the Book of Life. Stand,” Glenn said emphatically.
“You have asked for heroes. You are given another chance.
God opens another window!
Will we take this one?
Will we stand?
Will we support?”

Glenn warned that the immigration debate will ,b>quickly be turned into a civil rights issue.
But we must remain steadfast in our convictions.
“Is there anything more important than standing up for human dignity, for the rights of all mankind,” Glenn asked.
“They are going to try to make this into a civil rights case,
and it is not.
It is an affront to anyone who understands civil rights.”

“I’m a man.
I deserve to be treated like a man.
I will treat every illegal in this country like a man or a woman.
I will treat you with dignity, I will treat you with respect,
but I will not give you special privilege,” Glenn said.
“If I break the law, I go to jail.
If you break the law, you go to jail.
Why did you sneak over here at night?
Why didn’t you just walk down the center of the street there at the border crossing and say,
‘I have a right to come into the United States?’
Because it’s against the law. That’s why.
You BROKE the law.
And it is NOT an UNJUST law.”

“What is UNJUST is
the nonsense of allowing people into this country;
the endless red tape,” he continued.
“And WHO started that?
The SAME people who now argue for civil rights.
They are an affront to man, they are a joke, and we dismiss them.
And we do so in the name of Jesus Christ.
We dismiss them.”

Happy Flag Day

Ah yes the Secret Seventy

Does anyone have a list of these mysterious unsung heroes ???

a list not a link

[Linda Frances]

Anyone know who the 70 are?

[sickoflibs]

RE :”Does anyone have a list of these mysterious unsung heroes “

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.

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.

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!

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.

Transcript of the missing portion

http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/06/13/courage-70-house-republicans-to-push-back-against-immigration-bill/

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.

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.

[Liz]

Excellent---deserves arepeat.

[willyd]

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.

[Whenifhow]

But the RNC has a deal - via court or whatever, not to contest any elections. Can’t find the reference right now though.

[GOPJ]

Liz, here's something to ask our guys... "If the IRS was targeting democrat groups - gays, blacks or Occupy - - would it have gone on for years without top dems getting involved?

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...

IF YOUR CONGRESSMAN OR WOMAN VOTES WITH BOEHNER AND THE COMMIECRATS... YOU MUST VOTE AGAINST THEM AND YOU MUST LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU WILL.

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.

[Windflier]

If it gets to the point where this battle is lost and all we have left is to primary the traitors, it won’t really matter. The war will be over.

The political war, yes, but the civil war will have just begun.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

If only 70 are against it, the GOP leadership can change it to a more Dem-oriented bill to get Dem votes, right?
