Received here today: Legislative alert from the Cobb County Republican Women’s Club in Marietta, Georgia

“The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on fully funding through September 2015, President Barack Obama’s executive actions, including amnesty for five million illegals. While the U.S.House of Representatives cast a symbolic vote earlier this week to block Obama’s amnesty plan, the real action lies in refusing to fund his amnesty program. Reports from various news outlets and from inside the beltway in Washington D.C. are confirming that John Boehner, Speaker of the House, is once again capitulating to Democrats and ignoring conservatives within the Republican Party. Boehner and other GOP leaders are afraid of shutting down the government and insist on passing a budget that is fully funded through the fiscal year.

It is urgent that your U.S. representative is contacted along with Boehner imploring them to only pass a SHORT-TERM funding bill that would allow the next Congress to defund Obama’s amnesty. It is Congress – not the Executive branch of government – that has the power of the purse. Based on the recent election results, it should be Obama and the Democrats who should be forced to compromise.”
