Thanks, but calling didn’t help. The dopey governor just proclaimed “refugees are welcome” in this state. Didn’t bother to ask us voters whether we welcome these alleged refugees.

Maybe the governor can make up any spare bedrooms in the Governor’s Mansion. Or put some cots in his office. Since he is the one doing the welcoming, he can feed, clothe and house these alleged refugees.

I hope Freepers on this thread will help keep the list up to date as much as possible. We know some DEM Governors have taken a stand against refugees coming to their state, but of course more Republican Governors are on the list.

So this certainly is a NON PARTISAN issue. We need to spotlight the Governors and House/Senate members who are NOT taking a stand to keep the citizens of their states protected from Islamic Terrorists. Lets just see what Ryan does as Leader of the House. How about those holders of the purse strings????

Donald Trump is in Knoxville tonight and event begins at 7PM. He is sure to talk about this, and again on Wednesday when he speaks at an event in Worcester, MA. GO TRUMP!!

Colorado Freepers, call Governor Hickenlooper at (303) 866-2471 to urge him to NOT accept so-called refugees. Colorado is one of a handful of states that are, as of this moment, still willing to accept refugees. With 23 states now saying no to Syrian refugees, that means that the states willing to take them will get an even bigger share.

I called and was actually treated respectfully by the woman who answered the phone. Call now, folks!

“Islam has been waging holy war, jihad, against all civilized nations for 1400 years. Islam is the enemy in this war on terrorism.”

Yes, ISLAM IS the enemy in this war on terrorism. ISLAM IS the source of the terrorism. ALL alleged humanity that support, and spread Islam are as much terrorists as they whom are the motivators at the source of Islam.

IF one declares oneself of Muslim faith they are supporters of Islam as much as the terrorist, and therefore as reprehensible, and untrustworthy.

There is no such thing as a “moderate Muslim.”

Islam is evil, and the only way to address evil is to change its address from live to dead. Evil is disposable.

Governor _____________,

According to the US Constitution, you are required by law and under oath to protect and defend the US Constitution and the citizens in our state. You are required to repel all enemies, foreign and domestic.

In admitting so-named ‘refugees’ from Syria, you are endangering all of us. You and your children, your extended families, and colleagues included. A UN-controlled vetting system or a Department of State database is only as good as the data in it. We know that Syrian passports can be falsified. It serves no material purpose to permit placing any person ostensibly from Syria in this state when the provenance cannot be verified in fact.

NO Middle Eastern country is accepting these people, even though they speak Arabic, for the most part. Not one person may enter 5 of the wealthiest Middle Eastern counties, out of a fear of terrorism (their own words).

By what legal authority and moral imperative do you countermand your own stated oath, the protection of our citizens, and the defense of this state-when entire Middle Eastern countries have already decided they will protect their own citizens? Do you mean to say that the value of the lives of Middle Eastern counties’ citizens are worth more than ours?

Signed,

Love to you for fighting a battle up hill! That’s what makes America great. Your governor fails to secure his people from foreign and domestic enemies, which is TREASON.

This information just hit the news here in TN.

Ronald L. Ramsey

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SPEAKER OF THE SENATE 1 Legislative Plaza NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 37243-0026 TELEPHONE (615) 741-4524

109th

General Assembly State of Tennessee

Beth Harwell

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

19 LEGISLATIVE PLAZA NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 37243-0181 TELEPHONE (615) 741-0709

November 16, 2015
Dear Members of the Tennessee Congressional Delegation, We write to you regarding an urgent matter of great importance. Recent events have made it clear that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is ramping up its operations of terror against the United States and Europe.

Tennessee itself experienced an act of terrorism just a few months ago in Chattanooga. Our thoughts and prayers are with the citizens of France. On Friday, a well-planned, coordinated attack took the lives of over 120 people in Paris, leaving more than 300 injured. ISIS has claimed responsibility. A clear pattern of terror has emerged, and we can no longer turn a blind eye to it. Radical Islam has declared war on the West, and the West must do more to defend itself. This country and our beloved state of

Tennessee have a long record of welcoming immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants, and we would not be the nation we are without them. But national security and the safety of Tennesseans come first. The mass movement of legitimate refugees seeking asylum is heartbreaking, and our heart goes out to each and every man, woman and child who is fleeing legitimate political persecution. But the opportunity that radical Islamists could embed themselves in the movement of refugees is large and growing. These refugees are impossible to thoroughly investigate and properly vet. Out of an abundance of caution,the flow of refugees must be stopped.

As Tennessee’s congressional delegation,we ask you to advocate strongly for an immediate moratorium on refugees entering the United States, specifically Tennessee. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can do to assist you in this effort. Sincerely, Ron Ramsey Beth Harwell Lieutenant Governor Speaker of the House Tennessee General Assembly Tennessee General Assembly

Pennsylvania needs to tell Governor WOLF to say NO. Last state to say NO may get lots and lots of refugees.

THANK YOU for the reminder on time for Trump appearance! Maybe there will be a LIVE stream? Wonder if TV will cover it anywhere?

New Hampshire and Ohio have gone with Republican governors.

Sadly ChickenPooper is welcoming refugees to Colorado. I guess we can only hope the jihadis will be too stoned to blow up anyone.

It's OK. Send the ISIS members to Yale.

They'll teach the whiny little protestors what "being triggered" really is.

So only GOP guvs so far, except for Maggie Hassan in NH.

But, I see only male GOP guvs so far. No Nikki, no Susana, no Mary F. in OK. That is, none of the few female GOP guvs.

Weird.
