‘Open Rebellion’: Chaos if Republicans Don’t Withhold Funding for Obama Executive Amnesty

Conservatives say that Republican leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, will be “complicit” in President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty if they don’t pull out all the stops to block him.

They warn that chaos is around the corner if that’s how it goes down, even though they’d much rather have Republican leaders fight the president alongside them.

“Fight or be complicit in lawlessness,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Breitbart News, is the message to congressional GOP leaders on Obama’s amnesty.

If Republicans move forward with the plan from House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) to fund the entire government—including Obama’s executive amnesty, which the president is set to announce on Thursday night—in an omnibus spending bill, a Senate GOP aide told Breitbart News conservatives will spread chaos across Washington.

“If Obama announces executive amnesty and the House passes an omnibus with no language blocking it, there will be no Senate vote, because conservatives will burn down the Capitol,” the aide said.

“CALL YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN!!! DEMOCRATS ALSO.....they DO LISTEN TO IRATE VOTERS!!!!”

Right on! I call or email mine (both Parties) regularly just to express an opinion good or bad. If it is a rant I always thank them for listening, even though they were probably playing a computer game. Every opinion counts as long as it is not off the wall and irrational. A couple hundred calls against this makes a big difference because they know it statistically represents hundreds of thousands of opinions.
