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 theyre 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: Whats 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 istheyre 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 billbecause 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.Youve 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 explainedthat the fight is much, much larger.
We have gotten to the point where we are defending MANs freedom.
Because this isnt about you.This isnt about your stuff.This isnt about your freedom, Glenn said.
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 mans 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!
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,It is an affront to anyone who understands civil rights.
Im 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 didnt 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 its against the law. Thats why.
You BROKE the law.And it is NOT an UNJUST law.
What is UNJUST isthe 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.

RE :”
If only 70 are against it, the GOP leadership can change it to a more Dem-oriented bill to get Dem votes, right” I think the 70 are calling for a return to the‘ majority of the majority party in house decides what bills get put up for vote’.
Bachmann laid out this possibility:
House comes up with bill that Dems reject and passes it with GOP votes.(lets assume that most freepers wont like it either)
Bill goes committee conference where it is watered down further to get a deal with Reid.
Final watered down bill goes to House floor and Dems with a few Rs pass it , like VAWA or tax bill.
Obama signs it.
We curse Bohner here.

To: ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
That’s my take on it.
We’re talking a simple majority vote aren’t we. The Dems having the majority, it would seem they could pass this easily, and certainly with just a few Republican flippers tossed in.
That’s why I think Kennedy/McCain would have passed if they pushed it to the floor. Alas, ole Johnny Boy wanted to run for the presidency, and couldn’t stick with it.

We need to urge those who MIGHT be on the fence to oppose this bill, including Dems, appeal to the that they should put the welfare of our country before any other consideration. It worked before,a nd if enough of us contact them, it might work again.
As for Boehner, could it be he has vested interest, his daughter having married a Jamaican construction worker with long dreadlocks?

” 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.”
Afraid of Boehner? That cowardly, drunken fool? I now have no confidence in these jokers.

Here is what I wrote on another thread about path-to-citizenship:
Importing foreign voters to create a supermajority for one party is on the same moral plane as stuffing ballot boxes or rigging juries, but on a much greater scale.
When Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court with his cronies, a man from FDR’s own party said “This is more power than a good man should want or a bad man should have.”
And it’s bad men who would benefit.

You do know that it is the muslims, not Mexicans, he [obama] wants to bring over here, don’t you?The mexicans will get the heat, but once passed, obams will focus on bringing in muslims. The bright side is that he will also begin elimainating the parasite class [Blacks and White Black wannabees].

I saw your earlier post and liked it. May not have said so.
Image if someone walked up to you and said, “I have a petition here to bring 100 million White Northern European people to the U. S., give them access to all sorts of government programs, and flood your public institutions so nearly every hospital, school, highway, and government building would have to be replaced. Will you sign it?”
What would you say?
What would anyone say?
Hell no.
This really isn’t about race at all. It’s about totally remaking the United States in less than twenty years.

There are 234 House Republicans. The public Tea Party Caucus has 49 members. This group of 70 is standing against against 164 of their own Party.
That’s only 20 or so who aren’t public.
All groups have opportunists, and some become opportunists after making principled stands.

NONE, as they are cowards, and hiding, instead of screaming bloody murder.

The Dems having the majority, it would seem they could pass this easily, and certainly with just a few Republican flippers tossed in.Well, if you count Boehner, Ryan, etc. then in effect the Dems may indeed have a majority in the House.
If the House (as Boehner suggests) passes some parts of "immigration reform" in chunks and the big "Chuck Schumer Republican" senate bill gets merged in a bicameral conference, and within that committee, each house has to pass the bill up for a vote to get the approval of the committee. If that happens, the new bill goes to each house for a vote? Not sure but I think so.
But the pro-amnesty votes never seem to get picked off (in fact McCain and company are acting a Dem agents), while the anti-amnesty votes seem to cave naturally.

Well I misspoke didn’t I. The Dems don’t have the majority in the House. Oops.
Still, you get our side peeling off to vote with the Democrats and it really doesn’t matter much if we have the majority or not.
RINOs rule...

Well I misspoke didnt I. The Dems dont have the majority in the House. OopsNot necessarily. In a sense, if you are acting as a Dem agent, the R next to your name means less than nothing.
