Shut Up About Obama’s Amnesty Plan Unless You Do This One Thing
Red State ^ | December 4th, 2014 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 12/04/2014 8:14:12 AM PST by xzins

You have given up your right to complain about Barack Obama’s amnesty plan.

Just shut up. Stop complaining.

You know why? Because you did not do the one thing that could stop it. You did not call your congressman despite me making it very easy for you to do so.

I’m in Washington, D.C. right now. Last night I had several members of congress tell me that they’re barely hearing from anybody.

So stop your bellyaching about amnesty if you can’t even be bothered to call.

If you aren’t willing to call your congressman and demand he defund amnesty, stop bellyaching about it. Otherwise call now.

Erickson’s right. Not many are calling.

Call, write, email, contact....

If we don’t, then we can’t really complain

He would like to, but he doesn't get to make those rules for other people.

It was an illegal executive order. The congress had nothing to do with it.

The People spoke pretty loundly in November. They are supposed to represent us. Perhaps they can do it without their hands being held the whole way? Or maybe we elected the wrong people?

The Nov. 4 results weren’t enough for them? Does calling really work? Chamber of Commerce told me they bought most of Congress off but a call is going to stop that?

My congresscritter is Louise Slaughter. A democRAT hack who’s ideas are the party line first, last, and always. Constituents be damned. No point in calling her to complain.

” Chamber of Commerce told me they bought most of Congress off “

They sure did. Over 100 million worth. CoC owns Boehner & McConnell, and they run the show.

Hey we should post this about every 6 hours around here.

And send it out to the Republican Underground activists to post it everywhere.

Wait, we don’t have anyone like that on our side.

I called my kids for dinner several times last night, at increasing levels of volume; when they finally decided to grace the dinner table with their presence and faced with my ticked off glare, they claimed I hadn’t called them.

Chances are pretty good something similar is happening here.

My understanding is that it is not even an “Executive Order,” it’s the President taking “executive action,” whatever the hell that means.

Why can’t our reps ask us directly to call them instead of Erick having to fly up there to discover the recipe to stopping this coup d’ etat in its tracks?

What, you can take your call logs to Boehner and McConnell and they’ll say ‘Oh, My, God, We had no idea! Let’s stop this Amnesty crap NOW!’

I was born AT night..
