Yesterday, a number of key states held their primaries to decide which Republican candidates would go against vulnerable Democrats in November. They included primaries in Indiana (where Trump won by 19%), West Virginia (42.2%) and Ohio (8.6%). In the coming weeks, candidates will also be chosen to go up against incumbent Democrats in Missouri (19.1%), Montana (20.5%), North Dakota (36.3%) this fall.
In all, ten Democrats will have to run for re-election in states that Trump won. Many of those states had massive Trump victories in 2016. Some, like in Michigan and Pennsylvania, are competitive but were won in 2016 by razor thin margins.
This is great news for Conservatives. The establishment, however, is terrified.
They look at the map and see that even if Democrats re-take the House, their amnesty agenda is dead in the water if Conservatives win back Democrat seats in these red states.
They know that if they're going to push amnesty through, it has to be now.
Recently, I have warned you about H.Res.774. This is a bill that would force the House to vote on four different immigration amnesty bills and pass whichever receives the most votes. The bill is being sponsored by Rep. Jeff Denham, a Republican from California. Like other GOPers in California, his seat is vulnerable this fall. He has been rallying vulnerable Republicans to force a vote on amnesty before the midterms. He thinks that's the only way to save his seat...
A week and a half ago, I warned you that there were 50 Republicans who had signed onto this plan.
We went hard against these GOP cowards. Together, we delivered close to a half million FaxBlasts to Congress demanding they stand down.
Of all of these cowards, we went the hardest on Rep. Francis Rooney (FL). Not only had he signed onto this horrible amnesty bill, but he also flipped on gun control and announced that Americans would have to give up some of their 2nd Amendment rights.
We buried his office in FaxBlasts, and they each had a simple message. If you don't back down and stop H.Res.774 from moving forward, he will be removed.
I am happy to tell you that last week, Congressman Rooney withdrew as one of the resolution's co-sponsors. Two other Republicans -- Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (CA) and John Abney Culberson (TX) -- withdrew as well.
But the pro-amnesty lobby has picked up more supporters. Democrat Conor Lamb -- who just narrowly won the special election in Pennsylvania - has also signed on as a co-sponsor for H.Res.774.
That means even with these three withdrawals, the Left now has 248 co-sponsors. Under the House rules, they only need 218 to force a vote. They needed 22 Republicans and they currently have 52.
As I mentioned, H.Res.774 would put four different immigration bills up for a vote. One would be chosen by Conservatives, another would be chosen by liberals, and two would be chosen by the GOP leadership. We have already seen how this will end. When four bills were put up for a vote in the Senate, the illegal alien amnesty proposal received the most votes.
The Republicans who have co-sponsored this bill say it is about "starting the debate." But the only thing they want is to sell-out America and give amnesty to all of Obama's illegal aliens without passing any border security!
They know that they won't have the votes in the Senate next year if even one of these vulnerable Democrats loses their seat. They are pushing this through now and it is up to YOU to stop it!
Many of you have asked us to name names. We have, and we will continue to.
The Republicans who have signed onto this amnesty surrender plan are Representatives Upton (MI), Gonzalez-Colon (PR), Amodei (NV), Barton (TX), Coffman (CO), Valadao (CA), Brooks (IN), Donovan (NY), Love (UT), Bacon (NE), Curbelo (FL), Young (AK), Mast (FL), Shuster (PA), Knight (CA), Rouzer (NC), Katko (NY), Davis (IL), Faso (NY), Young (IA), LaMalfa (CA), Dent (PA), Thompson (PA), Ros-Lehtinen (FL), Issa (CA), Fitzpatrick (PA), Trott (MI), Costello (PA), Smith (NJ), Reed (NY), Poliquin (ME), Meehan (PA), Hurd (TX), Paulsen (MN), Stefanik (NY), Simpson (ID), Collins (NY), Lance (NJ), MacArthur (NJ), Taylor (VA), Joyce (OH), King (NY), Stivers (OH), Hultgren (IL), Long (MO), Reichert (WA), Johnson (OH), DesJarlais (TN), Gaetz (FL), and Crawford (AR).
Again, the Democrats need 22 Republican votes to force Paul Ryan to put the bills to the floor. They have 30 more Republican turncoats than they need.
They see the writing on the wall. They know that if Republicans take back any seats in the Senate, it will be next to impossible for the establishment to get the amnesty bill they want.
They know they need to strike now.
If you don't fight back, we might not get another chance...
Don't get complacent,
