Fellow American,
Shameful… Just shameful…
Those are the only words that come to mind when I think about what Congress did in the last 48 hours.
John Boehner and the rest of the GOP RINO establishment didn’t have enough Conservative votes to pass their $1.1 TRILLION budget. That’s because while these so-called “Republicans” criticized Obama’s amnesty in public, their budget completely funded it.
More than 60 Republicans voted against the spending bill, forcing Boehner to get approximately 50 Democrats to vote for it.
GOP leaders blocked any anti-amnesty amendments and allowed the bill to proceed without any mention of Obama’s amnesty. That means that newly “legalized” illegal aliens will begin receiving working papers and become eligible for Social Security and Medicare as soon as they come of age.
Meanwhile, Congress also passed the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act and guess what: they actually went through with cutting pay for our soldiers…
Shameful! Absolutely shameful!
I understand that times are tough, but the budget can’t be balanced on the back of our soldiers and veterans. It literally doesn’t make economic sense and it is just wrong to cut military pay and benefits after all these men and women have done for our country.
Soldier pay has officially been cut… military housing allowances have officially been cut… and soldiers and their families will have to pay more out-of-pocket for healthcare.
Meanwhile, the GOP just laid out the welcome mat for illegal aliens to become eligible for entitlement programs – like Medicare and Social Security – that they haven’t paid into.
If anyone is ‘entitled’ to receive better pay and better benefits, it’s our troops. And if anyone should be denied entitlement benefits, it should be illegal aliens.
But Congress apparently thinks differently.
The word that keeps coming back to mind is shameful. What do you think the Founding Fathers would say about this?
Well, I’ll tell you what Obama has said: Illegal aliens “are as American as any of us.”
You can see this mindset in the fact that Congress gave preference to illegals instead of our soldiers.
But it is also evident by the fact that Republicans and Democrats alike don’t seem to care that millions of unemployed Americans will suddenly have to compete with illegal aliens for jobs.
It’s just so backwards. But the worst part is that Congress doesn’t want you to know about any of this. They aren’t bragging about it. They are hoping that this story will be relegated to page 7 of the newspaper and no one will know what they just did.
But now you know. You can’t ‘un-learn’ the fact that Congress gave benefits to illegals while slashing pay and benefits for our soldiers.
But what you can do is raise your voice. Tell Congress that you know what they just did and that it is UNACCEPTABLE!
Tell Congress you want NO benefits for illegals and NO pay cuts for the military!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto
