Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America ! |
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

SA... you've got my drift. Real answers to real questions. And I have plenty of real questions. And yes, I am disgusted. I also have a big grassroots mouth.
I must not be making myself clear. I have let McCain know how I feel about his insane plan to secure (?) our borders. I have let Perry know I expect real walk and real talk and it's too convient he finally shows some interested right before reelection. I have told every critter high and low exactly how I feel, what I expect and what I will and will do not do in terms of supporting/picking "representation" of ME from "elected" candidates. That's why the spam letter was so aggrivating. And... I can't even stuff the thing in an envelope with a follow up letter.
There won't be a paycheck to bring home if the "other slaves" start demanding this to.
You're making yourself clear, and your frustrations are the same as mine, and everyone else that has attempted to contact Washington on any number of issues.
As one FReeper stated so well, standard issue for elected government officials are...blinders. Presently, we have 55 Republican senators and 230 something congressmen/women plowing America under, while wearing their constituent proof blinders.
Once elected, they don't ever want to see or hear from you until the next election. Meanwhile, lobbyists, MSM, photo ops and foreign powers have open doors, written and instant telephone access that you only dream of. If the Republicans lose control of the congress and/or senate, they have only themselves to blame! They hear our noise, but they don't want to listen.
Peggy Noonan wrote a good article in the WSJ
on the Republicans losing their base.
Baseless Confidence
Thanks...I"ll catch up with you latah. : )
She sure is! She"s the best writer (my computer is acting up and I can"t type a single quote mark..sorry)
you can say that again, lol!
Awesome photos!!!!!!!!!! (They looks so ~{cool!}~
Want you to know that today I have spent a good bit of time getting the word out for people to be praying for Reily and your family!! *Those phone calls, etc, won't be ignored!!
But if history is a guide, the base is about to teach them a lesson instead.
As God is my witness...

Banshee's say what?
It's all our fault ;)
I've never seen a political party so lost, deaf, rudderless, and out of touch with their base.
