Action Alert: Remember Mississippi! Tell Reince Priebus & RNC to Censure Henry Barbour

Dear Patriots, 

Today we have a very important series of actions we are asking you to take. The Republican National Committee (RNC) is having their summer meeting in Chicago today and during that meeting there will be a discussion on the series of events that happened in Mississippi. 

You remember - where Republican establishment types used race-baiting tactics to smear Chris McDaniel and fire up Democrat voters using hatred and lies to get them to go out and vote for Thad Cochran?

The continued silence of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus over what happened in Mississippi makes him complicit by inaction. Allowing the GOP establishment to race-bait and smear a fellow Republican, an elected official mind you, to gin up Democrat voters to sabotage a Republican primary and disenfranchise a majority of conservative voters is beyond reprehensible.

Today we need to make sure the RNC hears from the grassroots all across this country.

Call to Action: 

Join with your fellow patriots across the U.S. for a Tweet Reince Priebus Day and send tweets to @Reince all day today Friday August 8th and demand that he censure Henry Barbour for his vile actions!

Twitter - 

Reince Priebus (@Reince & @RNCPRBS)

Henry Barbour (@HenryBarbour)

 using hashtags #CensureHenry and #RememberMS

Call & email the RNC and demand that they take up and pass the resolutions offered by Ed Martin, Chairman of the MO GOP to 

A.) Censure Henry Barbour (nephew of former RNC Chair Haley Barbour)

B.) Censure any other Republicans involved in the race-baiting in Mississippi.

RNC Phone: (855)987-7019

Sign our petition to censure Henry Barbour

The actions in Mississippi cannot be ignored by the RNC. Doing so would make them complicit in the despicable acts that occurred.

Please make your voices heard today and forward to your friends who value freedom, election integrity, and simple human decency.

Remember Mississippi!

Steve King Owns "DREAMERS" / Rand Paul Runs Away [VIDEO]

Rep. Steve King owned these two DREAMERS who clearly do not understand, do not want to understand and do not respect the laws of our country. 

And it should be noted, as pointed out in Wayne's comments below - Senator Rand Paul slid away and abandoned King with the DREAMERS.

From Wayne Dupree --

Great job by GOP Rep. Steve King!

He was ambushed by two “DREAMERS” while eating during an event, along with GOP Sen. Rand Paul. The two shook hands with King and Paul, and then launched into their diatribe. Rand Paul melted away almost immediately, leaving King to deal with the two on his own. He held up very well. He calmly, politely listened to their statements and questions, and answered them all. They were hoping to embarrass him and get him to say or do something they could use against him. They didn’t get what they wanted!

Governor Kasich Supporting Illegal Aliens at Expense of Ohio Citizens

Refuses to Resist Relocation of Illegals in Ohio

OHIO - With the current border crisis spinning out of control, and as waves of illegal immigrants continue to flood across our southern borders, an overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens believe these illegal border crossers should be returned to their countries of origin and not be relocated in cities across our country.

On July 21, 2014, the Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, received a letter from (40) forty conservative and liberty groups asking him to use his authority as Governor to prevent any forced relocation of illegal immigrants in Ohio; these groups reminded him that he was elected to represent the interests of Ohio citizens first.

To date, Governor Kasich has refused to respond.

His refusal stands in contrast to a growing number of Governors who are putting the well-being of their state citizens first and are speaking out against the secretive federal relocation efforts in their states. In his recent comments to the media, Governor Kasich not only refused to put Ohio citizens first - he effectively rolled out a welcome mat to the relocation of illegal immigrants to Ohio.

"Governor Kasich's refusal to respond and refusal to stand and put the well being of Ohio citizens first, is yet just another example of him failing our state and our citizens, stated Ralph King, Co-founder of the Cleveland Tea Party Patriots and Tea Party Patriots State Co-Coordinator for Ohio. "

"Governor Kasich's first duty is to the citizens of this state," continued King, "not the appeasement of President Obama and his failed border policies."

"We are a leaderless country, and now a leaderless state," stated Marianne Gasiecki, Founder of the Mansfield Tea Party and fellow State Coordinator. "It would appear, once again, that the federal coffers are more important than the citizens of this country and state."

Acknowledging the negative fiscal, social, educational and health impact the accepting of these illegal immigrants in our state will have on every day citizens, along with the impact it will have on local municipalities and school districts, Gasiecki & King both applaud the efforts of State Rep. John Adams & State Rep. Wes Retherford proposed legislation that will put the concerns of all Ohio citizens first.

Richland County Republican Party Passes Resolution Opposing Common Core

From the Richland County GOP --

For Immediate Release


July 31, 2014


Contact: Bob Rodgers (419)895-9922 
Chairman- Richland Country Republican Central Committee

Richland County Republican Party
Passes Resolution Opposing Common Core

Opposition Grows

Mansfield, OH - July 31, 2014- The Richland County Republican Party Central Committee joined six other Ohio county Republican parties in passing a resolution opposing the Common Core State Standards.

"Although I'm proud we were able to come together and join the other Republican county parties in passing a similar resolution, the opposition to Common Core crosses party lines," stated Bob Rodgers, Chairman of the Richland County Republican Party Central Committee. "Teachers, parents and students, regardless of party affiliation, have expressed serious concerns over the nationalizing of our educational system."

Some of the concerns regarding the Common Core Standards are the "one-size-fits-all" style of educating, the sharing of student data, and the excessive time and money to be spent on testing. Six weeks of testing will be added to the spring school schedule to accommodate the national assessments.

"Common Core standards have never been tested or proven. The beauty of having 50 states is that we can learn from each other. Why not look to the states that have a proven history of outperforming others, and strive to incorporate their standards?' Chairman Rodgers added.

The resolution that was passed referred to a similar position and resolution passed by the Republican National Committee (RNC) in April 2013.

Border bill: it's on, it's off. it's on??

Photo credit: en.wikipedia.com

Friday UPDATE from The Washington Times: 

House Republicans resurrected their border bill Friday morning and said they were on track to pass the rewritten measure later in the day — though with the Senate gone for the summer the vote will be more a political statement than a policy-making exercise.

Read the rest here.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Tea Party Patriots on the constantly changing status of a border bill:

[Patriots] did a great job stopping the border bailout, but it was only temporarily. The House Republicans met this afternoon to discuss plans on how to proceed, the House Rules Committee met this evening to ensure that a rule is in place that will allow them to bring a bill to the floor and vote on it in the same day tomorrow, and the House Leadership is working tonight to have a new bill ready to go, possibly be the House Republican Conference meeting in the morning at 9am EDT.

There is no word yet on what we may expect to see in the new bill, but we will keep you updated as we hear of any new developments. You can check our call to action page for updates as we get them.

In the meantime, call the following people and your own Representative and tell them that any border bill that doesn't address the President's overreach of executive amnesty is not good enough. Go ahead and call tonight and leave a message and then call again first thing in the morning.

Statement by Senators McCain, Graham, Rubio & Flake on Senate Leader Harry Reid's Comments on Immigration Reform

You know the border crisis is serious when you have three of the GOP Senate members known for being weak on illegal immigration, Senator McCain, Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Marco Rubio speaking out against it.

But they say nothing about trying to stop President Obama's threat to wield his magic pen and issue an Executive Order Amnesty for the border jumpers illegally entering our country.

And notably missing from the growing chorus of "convenent conservatives" speaking out against Obama's border BS is Ohio's own Senator Rob "I Love Illegals too" Portman.

From Senator John McCain --

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) today issued the following statement on Majority Leader Harry Reid’s comments today regarding legislation to address the humanitarian crisis on the border:

“Last year, we voted to pass immigration reform legislation through the United States Senate. While we continue to support the goals of comprehensive immigration reform, none of us would support – or have ever contemplated – including that bill or the DREAM Act in legislation urgently needed this year to address the current humanitarian crisis on our southern border. It is obvious that Majority Leader Reid’s suggestion that the Senate could include comprehensive immigration reform in its border crisis bill is a blatant attempt to scuttle House Republicans’ good-faith efforts to pass legislation addressing the issue this week. 

To be clear: Without our support – which he would not have – it would be impossible for Leader Reid to add comprehensive immigration reform or the DREAM Act to any border crisis bill this week. We encourage our colleagues in the House to move forward and pass legislation focused exclusively on addressing the current humanitarian crisis on the border, and finally test whether Democrats will work constructively with Republicans to solve this humanitarian crisis on our border, or play politics with an issue of urgent national importance.”

Action Alert: Stop President Obama's Border Bailout & Executive Order Amnesty!

This week, the House of Representatives is considering taking action on the President's request for $3.7 billion to deal with the border crisis. We need to urge them to say no to any funding unless they end the President's executive amnesty.

This is simply another case of Washington throwing more money at a problem as an attempt to solve it. Let's face it, as long as the President's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is in effect the influx of illegal immigrants will continue. And with the President's commitment to issue some kind of executive amnesty before November, we must tell Congress to say no!

Senators Ted Cruz (TX) and Jeff Sessions (AL) are leading the effort to stop the President's plans for executive amnesty and we need to give them back up by flooding the phones in Congress this week. Click here to read.

Take Action

Contact Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and tell him to support the efforts of Senator Cruz & Senator Sessions to stop President Obama's plans for Executive Order Amnesty
