I was quite troubled by an article (shown below) that I received via email. I emailed Senator Grassley’s office about this to find out what could be done to thwart this White House effort for amnesty. Following the article I am including the response I received from Senator Grassley’s staff. I believe the only course we have is to make a strong effort to let the President know that something this important cannot be done by executive order but must be debated and approved or defeated in the U.S. Congress. We are a democratic republic; we have not approved dictator control or a monarchy. Please join me in contacting the White House about the President’s “No Vote Plan” using this website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
Sincerely,
Dwayne Alons

NEW OBAMA OFFICIALS’ MEMOS SHOW AMNESTY PLAN FOR MILLIONS WITHOUT ANY VOTE IN CONGRESS
The U.S. Senators who have been demanding answers from the Administration about a rumored administrative amnesty have now revealed shocking memos from top Obama officials.
They show Obama Administration officials offering a detailed plan that would offer actual or de facto amnesty to millions of illegal aliens without Congress ever taking a vote.
In this way, the Administration would be able to reap the thanks of all the cheap-labor, outlaw industries relying on illegal labor, as well as the entire pro-illegal voter base.
But no Member of Congress would have a vote for amnesty on his/her record while facing elections.
A day after a federal judge ruled that the people of Arizona can’t enforce immigration laws against illegal aliens, this memo shows a grand plan for the Obama Administration to ensure that most illegal aliens get work permits, keep their jobs and prevent unemployed Americans from getting the jobs instead.

Rep. Alons – thanks for your email. I handle immigration for the Senator. I was the one that found and made public the memo. We are doing our best to get the word out that this Administration has plans. They are trying to come up with creative ways to keep illegals here, and without Congressional action. The memo is scary, and the best thing you can do is to speak out against it and let the White House know that it’s unacceptable. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Take Action Now: In June, Congressman Steve King of Iowa filed a petition that would force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on repealing Obamacare. We must repeal Obamacare, now! Tell your Member of Congress to sign the petition to repeal Obamacare.
The Heritage For Action is supporting Steve King”s bill to repeal health care. Pelosi has stopped the bill in the house so we need to get 218 votes to get the bill to the floor for a vote. Heritage For Action is featuring a phone number a day of congressman who have not yet signed the bill to flush out those who say that they want to repeal health care but will not sign the discharge petition. Todays congressman is Eric Cantor.
Everyone should call Cantors office today and ask him to sign the petition……202-225-2815.
There is also a prepared email to just fill in your name and send to congress. Here is the website http://heritageforamerica.org/

Imagine the impact that Americans of faith could have on the future of our nation, the character of its leadership and the moral health of its people if we all applied biblical principles to every aspect of our lives – inclouding our participation in the democratic process.
It is absolutely critical that Christians be registered, be informed and vote our values. As believers, we have a duty to be involved in the democratic process. But our charge is not simply to vote the way our friends or family vote, or the way our political party wants us to vote, or even with concern only for our pocketbook. Instead, we must vote our values, our beliefs, our convictions. An informed vote takes effort. The choice is not always easy, but it is always significant.
A cry to God for a nation in distress.
Join with Christian leaders of all denominations who love God to humble ourselves, pray, seek the face of God, and turn from our wicked ways—individually and as a nation.
When: Sat., May 1, 2010 – From Sunrise (6:10 A.M.) to 2:00 P.M.
Where: The Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
This event is not to impress the media or those in Washington, but to reach the heart of God. Publicly repenting and crying out to God for His mercy instead of the judgment our many sins deserve. Repentance in personal and corporate prayer to God and remembrance of His work throughout our nation’s history will be major parts of the day as we seek God to do a great work of revival or reformation in our time. The tentative plan is to begin the day with an hour of worship and praise.
Of course, it is not necessary to be in Washinton D.C. on May Day in order to pray for our nation. We encourage every person to be praying in this time of great need.
“If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
President Obama will be in Iowa City, Thursday, March 25. A bus is leaving from Sioux Falls and will be making stops along the way for anyone needing a ride. The bus will arrive by noon in Iowa City before President Obama’s Health bill speech at 1:00. Please let Larry or Joy know as soon as possible if you are interested in joining your voice with others in Iowa City tomorrow.

At 12:30 PM through 1:00 PM, on the West steps of the Capitol, you are invited to participate in an outdoor rally lead by pastors. And, at 1:00 PM through 3:00 PM, inside the Capitol, near the lower level dining area, Tamar Scott, of Concerned Women of America, will help those who wish to speak to their legislators.
At what point should a free people give up? How many times should we continue to voice our opinions that something is bad for us, personally and as a country? For those of us who enjoy history, we’ve seen George Washington’s Army on the verge of collapse, only to fight a battle that turned the war in the American’s favor. Maybe we remember the continued Southern victories to be suddenly changed at the small Pennsylvania town called Gettysburg. The Union would be preserved, but only because those weary soldiers and their commanders continued fighting. Normandy Beach was yet another example of persevering against incredible odds to fight the evil that was winning the day.
We are also in a battle. While we are not wielding guns, sacrificing human life or rationing food, the battle is nonetheless significant. Will you continue the fight against government take-over of our health care? These continued assaults on our freedoms are not as seemingly terrifying as the previous battles mentioned, but they have every bit as much significance to the America we all know and love and hope to pass onto our posterity.
MARCH 18TH, or sooner, the Congress is going to again try to pass the Health Care Bill (H.R. 3590): Here are a few details: (for further review, go to RPC Health Care Facts)
LOSS OF DOCTOR CHOICE and INSURANCE CHOICE: This will be the case in these bills.
COSTS: The proposed bill would raise, not lower, health care costs by hundreds of billions in its first 10 years alone.
(It would raise individual health insurance premiums by an average $2,100 for every family and the President’s proposal would likely raise that number even higher.)
SECRET DEALS: If this is such a necessary and wanted bill, why are the politicians bribing States in order to get the votes? I.e., Cornhusker Kickback, Gator Aid and Louisiana Purchase, just to mention a few.
MANDATES: These bills mandate that Americans buy health care. This is unconstitutional.
MORE BUREAUCRACY: New Federal bureaucracy of an unelected board to impose government price controls and micro-manage health insurance premiums.
ABORTION: Is still covered by Federal funding.
JOB KILLER: The President’s proposal nearly triples the “fair share” penalty for employers from $750 to $2,000 creating an even higher tax on jobs for companies that cannot afford to offer health coverage.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: ASK THEM WHY THEY AREN’T GOING TO BE UNDER THESE MANDATES
At our Tea Party Meeting the other night, a man lamented that he had not taken the abortion issue seriously enough when Roe v. Wade was decided and regrets to this day that he had not done more. Do we want to be voicing the same regrets to our children when we still have the ability to stop this travesty of our freedoms?
Call often and respectfully to Rep. Steve King: 202.225.4426
Senator Chuck Grassley: 202.224.3744
Senator Tom Harkin: 202.224.3254
The American public knows that if anyone needs a doctor, it is our own Congress…. to clean out their earwax so they can hear us for the last time…..KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OUR HEALTH CARE!
To quote one of the staunchest fighters for freedom: “NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!” Winston Churchill.
Make the phone calls, write the letters, send the emails, drive to their offices! Do whatever it takes. Get your friends and family to do it. Courage, persistence, vigilance. Is it really that difficult? No and I promise you, you will not regret it.
