1.1 Trillion Omnibus GOP Bill Includes Giant Political Earmark For Establishment GOP
Senate Conservatives Action ^ | 12-10-14 | Ken Cuccinelli II

Posted on 12/10/2014 10:19:16 AM PST by INVAR

The text of the 1,603-page, $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill was released yesterday after House and Senate leaders wrote it behind closed doors.

Instead of fighting for a provision that defunds the president's unlawful amnesty, Republican leaders fought for other riders.

For example, they airdropped a political earmark into the bill that increases the amount the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) can collect from individual donors from $32,400 per year to $324,000 – a tenfold increase.

Since the NRSC takes sides in primaries, the new donation limit will help the DC establishment do more to support liberal incumbents.

RINOIt's an earmark for RINOs!

The provision will help Senator Mitch McConnell do more to "punch" conservatives "in the nose" and to "crush" conservatives everywhere.

Remember how the NRSC worked closely with Senator Thad Cochran's race-baiting campaign in Mississippi this year, which attacked conservatives and recruited Democrats to hijack the primary election?

If the omnibus becomes law, conservatives can expect even more of these treacherous tactics from the NRSC.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Congress will vote on the omnibus this Thursday so this is your last chance to stop the RINO earmark and to force lawmakers to defund the president's amnesty.

Republican leaders in the House do not have the votes to pass the bill so there's still time to defeat it.

Please call conservatives in the House and urge them to oppose the omnibus and to vote against the "rule" that brings it to the floor for debate.

Some lawmakers say they want to wait until next year to fight amnesty. They're making excuses. If this omnibus bill passes, Republicans will immediately lose their leverage to stop the president's unlawful action.

EVERYBODY BE SURE TO ALSO CALL THEIR LOCAL DISTRICT FIELD OFFICES. That has more impact than the DC number.

Still, it’s the Republican primary voters making all of these bad choices.

That is why the plan is being implemented into silence those of us old enough to remember, or whom actually KNOW our true history and heritage.

Death Panels anyone?

Sadly we are a minority of Americans in our own country who know the truth.

.....now is the time to petition the Republicans to dump "Boner". The man is nothing but a limp noodle.

No, it's worse than that. He is a very hard-nosed, practical, and dedicated enemy of the conservative GOP majority and a case-hardened tool of the RiNO clerisy and their businesses.

The November election was a victory for THEM, not us.

Didn't you hear Karl Rove and Michael Medvedev crowing all over the place about how they'll knock ock down the Tea Party for good?

Didn't you hear the party music pouring out of "K" Street?

They have been working on this since they were so horrified by the 1994 election and all those Southern Conservative mouth-breathers like Zach Wamp and Bill McCollum..... Yeccchhh! No class! And they're.... Crackers! Yee-haa grits-eaters, people Below the Salt. Gotta get rid of them, the Midwest and everybody else (actually, it was just the Eastern Seaboard cookie-pushers who hate Southern Conservatives - but that's not how you win "arguments" is it?) will be so convulsed with revulsion (whole lotta "vulsing" going on!) that they'll vote Democrat! (Oh, rilly?)

Mark Levin was livid last night. "I'm one inch from leaving the Republican Party."

He's not alone.

TAXPAYERS EXTORTED---OBAMA COLLUDES W/ THIRD WORLD AGENTS ADVOCATING THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT included in the $trillion dollar funding bill is an extortion payment to Central America---$266 million tax dollars to help them (GAG) assist "child victims of violence."

THE FACTS ARE THESE Illegal Third Worlders (advocating the overthrow of the US govt) are organized into "pressure groups"...even before they jump our borders. Third World federales are salivating for zillions in "humanitarian foreign aid" and anything else they can ge their greeedy hands on.

REALITY CHECK---WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder millions (Portillo was elected to (ahem) "redistribute" the nation's wealth. The ex-president of the Central American country of Guatemala faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids. Portillo personally endorsed three, $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by “a close associate and political supporter”.

The embezzled money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter. Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...and plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator through overdrafts financed by public reserves. Stolen foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates, according to the indictment. (NY POST 5/28/13)

=============================================

REMINDER: $266 million of our tax dollars in the current spending bill is going to Central America federales to help them (GAG) assist "child victims of violence."

Current Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns
the US will be inundated w/ even more contagious illegals
if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

I want them to wait until January to pass anything for next year. Many scoundrels were sent packing at midterms. No way in H3LL they should be voting on any more spending!

AS FREEPER TEXAS EAGLE INSIGHTFULLY POSTED:

"Statehouses and Governorships from coast to coast, border to border are being inundated with Tea Partiers or, at the very least, Republicans who espouse Tea Party beliefs and principles."

==================================================

FREEPER ACTION ALERT--Every time we contact Pubbies---include this winning list of OUR votes, as a sober reminder.

The treasure trove of "The Midterm Democrat Demolition Derby" and down-ticket state wins have yet to be fully- mined, but this we know:

<><> REPUBLICANS (NOT THE GOPE) WON STUNNING ELECTORAL HISTORY...

<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of liberals;

<><> Landrieu's loss means Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> Of 140 Southern States election districts---110 went Republican.

<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;

<><> when the next US Senate convenes, 30 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare are gone.

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.

<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub

<><>GOP now controls the MINN State House.

<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover (Gun Control is toast)

<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D

<><> Britt Hume: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment.

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (per Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass. .

<><> GOP has every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years...

<><> Environmentalists fogged out---suffered huge losses.

<><> Gun Control Candidates blitzed.

<><> "War on Women" became a ntl joke.

<><> Clinton's politically useless---most candidates they flacked lost.

<><> Montana, So/Dakota and West/VA Dems were forced to retire; no hope of getting re-elected,

<><> Repubs hold 246 House seats (Dems 188), the largest GOP advantage since the Truman administration after World War II. An Arizona recount leaves one House race still outstanding.

<><> 73 percent of LA's white voters say told they "strongly disapproved" of the president.

<><> Arizona Republican McSally wins last open House seat after recount (Gaby Giffords seat)

<><> McSally's Arizona win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in the Arizona congressional delegation,

<><>Republican Congress holds largest House majority in 83 years...

It’s an impressive lift, but it has been largely nullified by Boehner and McC.

The treasure trove of wins-—Senate. Congress, down-ticket state wins of governors, legislatures, etc —— have yet to be fully- mined, but what we already know is mind-boggling.

The midterm annihilation of Dems were not black votes, they were not latino votes, they were not moderate voters......these were grassroots votes w/ a powerful message.

REMINDER—Every time we contact Pubbies-—include this winning list (posted), as a constant reminder.
