NC: Please Pray for our Country and our Congressman, Mark Meadows

 

Mark is one of 12 conservative Republicans being targeted and slandered with negative advertisements by a Republican Political Action Committee, closely connected to Speaker of the House John Boehner, and  big Republican establishment and liberal donors supporting amnesty and more cheap foreign labor to compete against American workers. Mark is one of the leaders of the 52 members of the House Republican Freedom Caucus who strongly opposed any Homeland Security bill that did not defund Obama’s unlawful amnesty.  Actually, while the bill passed 257 to 167, a substantial majority of Republicans voted against the Speaker’s bill, 167 to 75.  

Boehner’s bill will fund the Department of Homeland Security through September. By that time, Obama’s amnesties, at least the first five million of them, will be an accomplished fact unleashing all the negative fiscal, economic, social, and political consequences predicted by the Heritage Foundation, the Center for Immigration Studies, and many conservative foundations and political groups.  DHS could have been funded without funding the Obama amnesty.

Boehner’s coalition of all House Democrats and 75 Republicans was a major betrayal of Republican conservatives, taxpayers, American workers, Constitutional government, and the common good of the American people.

Their attack ads are essentially dishonest misrepresentations of the issues, making the outrageous and insulting claim that voting against Boehner’s bill would increase ISIS and other terrorist dangers to Americans. That the very opposite is true is practically

self-evident to those who have not been bribed or bullied into forsaking even national security to please special interest donors promoting amnesty and more cheap foreign labor. American workers are already suffering. This callous betrayal to secure big donor money will be a real kick in the teeth for American workers and their families.  It is astonishing that the House has approved an unlawful amnesty by a President who continues to favor Islam to a degree that jeopardizes American public safety and national security. The Republican establishment leadership has a string of alibis for this betrayal, but none of them are consistent with the public interest or reasonable standards of truth.

Bravo for the 69 percent of Republican House members who saw through the House leadership’s devious arguments. Is the Republican establishment too dull to connect the dots or 

are they just plain corrupt? 

In case you haven’t noticed, Republican leadership in the House, Senate and RNC has been hijacked by special interests that have no sense of patriotism or identity with the traditions and economic interests of ordinary Americans.

American voters are not going to forget this by November 2016. The evidence of betrayal will be obvious everywhere. Unless things change quickly, we are witnessing the demise of the Republican Party and great pain and loss of freedoms for the American people.

Pray for Congressman Mark Meadows and the other Republicans who voted in your interest rather than special interests. Pray and work for honest, conservative leadership in the Republican Party

—or else we’ll have to form a new party. (Might as well start now. )

Pray that the American people will seek the God of our fathers and get their values straight; that they wake up to their extreme danger, and that they work and have the wisdom to elect principled leaders. Pray for our country.  

We are threatened inside and outside by radical Islam and inside by foolish thinking, too many politicized judges, and poor leadership in both major parties.
