Rep Gowdy Destroys Obama Over Executive Power Grab: 'About Damn Time We Used' the Power of the Purse





What is important to take away from this speech is Gowdy's appeal to the entire House body to maintain powers vested to them by the Constitution. Dems want to interrupt him and what have you but they need to understand what obama does now and is permitted to get away with opens the door for LARGER power grabs by future presidents. Like he says this isn't a republican vs democrat issue it is about maintaining the balance of power.

Following Gowdy destroying obama on his abuse of powers the House ended up voting (invoking their power of the purse) 237-190 to FUND DHS but defund obamas amnesty. You should know his message did not hit completely home for republicans as there were 26 republicans who defected voting with the dems.

While we wait for the 26 to be ID'd it's safe to assume they have violated promises to their constituents that they would stop obama's lawless actions. This is one of many reasons Americans are done with the GOP. Even though they follow through on a vote like this, there are hints many will act in complete contradiction from what they claim to be. This party done, it is The Whig Party. It's time for conservatives like Gowdy to leave, creating a new Conservative third party.

Sen Sessions: Obama Rushing Executive Amnesty Through Before Anything Can Be Done To Stop It



Obama is "rushing to impose his immigration views before the Congress can contain it or restrain it, before the American people fully understand what's happening, and to make it so it can't be stopped."

Sen Sessions warned Congress to invoke the power of the purse to stop obamas lawless actions on executive amnesty. None of his radical illegal actions can be implemented without funding. So we must put pressure on them to not fund anything, including the facility that will require 1000 people to process illegals. Think about the size and scope of 1000 paper pushers to issue Social Security ID's, worker permits etc to reward people who broke the law getting into the US. How many more facilities like the Virginia facility will go up around the country?

Americans unemployed, in poverty or just above and the middle class are going to feel the impact of obamas illegal action. He doesn't care about anyone, all he wants is to deliver a new pool of voters to progressives (R's & D's). We are going to learn real quick who in Congress is truly with us or against us with these votes to stop the imperial emperor. Many are already on record surrendering the powers given to them in the Constitution to stop him. They are in effect allowing obama to become that king/ dictator Newt Gingrich warned about Sessions cites.
