Fearing Obama Unilateral Amnesty Threats, Tea Party Jams Congress's Phone Lines
Breitbart ^ | 7-28-14 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 07/28/2014 2:24:19 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

The phone lines are jammed.

The American people have risen up in response to a rallying cry from Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), overloading the phone lines on Capitol Hill to pressure their members of Congress to fight against President Obama’s planned executive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

~snip~

“This shows the American people are going to resist,” a Sessions aide told Breitbart News. “The crescendo will grow. They are only beginning to be heard. They will get louder in the coming days.”

The calls are coming in response to Sen. Sessions, who last week asked the American people to rise up and pressure their elected leaders to stop the president from moving forward with any new executive amnesty. Obama has already granted executive amnesty to upwards of 800,000 illegal aliens through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program which was initiated in 2012, and this year Obama is threatening to expand DACA to five to six million illegal aliens.

“The American people have begged and pleaded for years for our laws to be enforced,” Sessions said in his statement calling for the American people to rise up. “We have people in our own country living in violence, fear and poverty every single day. They have demanded an immigration policy that puts their jobs, wages and communities first. Every citizen should pick up the phone and ask of their congressional representative: where do you stand?”

The deluge comes after Sessions's call to melt the phone lines was reported and picked up by the Drudge Report over the weekend.

Sessions specifically has called on lawmakers to back legislative efforts by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

Somehow they know that these calls are from “members” of the Tea Party?

What’s that mean, anyway?

You haven’t got your membership card and secret decoder
ring yet?

Or am I supposed to talk about the secret handshake instead?

I hope callers are demanding border security rather than the usual “No Amnesty” crap.

Every two years its the same thing. We start talking about amnesty, illegals surge toward the border, we “win” and they don’t pass amnesty but the border remains wide open.

My message to my congressperson is to demand:
1) arrest Obama, incarcerate, prosecute and punish him
2) close the D—mn border!

Ayup - the American people are going to resist - as long as it can be done with an app on their phone. We need real American conservative, patriot-type people who aren’t afraid (or lazy) to get off their collective arse and really DO SOMETHING.

Anyone concerned enough about national sovereignty and securing our borders to contact a congress critter must be xenophobic and a racist, so: Tea Party, right? At least that’s the way the gerbalists think.

That’s my thought, that they have no way of knowing if they’re Tea Party or not. Or have we come to the place where any call that demands Congress to do their jobs is automatically labeled “Tea Party”.

They probably want it to means that since it is the Tea Party, it won’t count for anything. If you call, you are automatically Tea Party.
