Congress Gives American People The Finger

In a clear act of political cowardice and deliberate disobedience to the overwhelming wishes of American citizens, Congress has removed the $3 billion in funding for border security (and the fence) in the most recent version of an omnibus funding bill.

We've been through this over and over and over, and Congress still does not appear to have figured out that the American people are serious about wanting our southern border secured and fenced! Earlier this year, they voted to allocate $3 billion purely for the fence and other border security enhancements, but the recent funding bill did not follow through on that funding.

No money = no fence = no border security.

This is a big deal, people! Call your Representatives and your Senators and express yourself on what you think of their actions. The number for the Capitol Switchboard is at the top right of my blog - call it and ask for your people, and they'll transfer you. Call them, e-mail them, call them again, e-mail them again...until they figure it out and GET IT DONE!!!

This is an issue of upholding the law, protecting the American economy, protecting Americans from criminals flooding in from Mexico, and protecting Americans from terrorist slipping through.

There is no rational reason this funding should have been yanked. Congress apparently needs to get its chain jerked again, so gear up and let 'em have it! Let's crash the switchboard with angry calls again!

I sure plan to do my part!

There's my two cents.
