White House Meets With Leadership Friday:
\nTell Boehner and McConnell: Don’t Grant Amnesty! Defund it!<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

President Obama has invited new Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and other Congressional leaders to the White House on Friday to discuss the post-election agenda and seek common ground. The media is already reporting that immigration is on the agenda! (The Hill<\/i><\/span>,<\/a>\u00a0Nov. 5, 2014;\u00a0Fox News<\/i><\/span><\/a>, Nov. 5, 2014) That’s why McConnell and Boehner should not go into that meeting without hearing from you first.<\/p>\n

Tell Boehner and McConnell: Don’t Grant Amnesty! Defund it!<\/p>\n

You need to remind these House and Senate leaders that\u00a0Americans resoundingly rejected amnesty at the polls on Tuesday<\/span>. Voters\u00a0ousted<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Democrats who supported the Senate guest worker amnesty bill last year. And in\u00a0exit polls<\/span><\/a>, voters said illegal immigration is one of their top concerns, with only the economy and health care leading.<\/p>\n

Not only do Americans oppose amnesty legislation like the disastrous guest worker amnesty bill, they vehemently oppose the President abusing his power to grant an executive amnesty. In August,\u00a0Rasmussen Reports<\/span><\/a>\u00a0polled likely voters and found that 62% oppose the president granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens without the approval of Congress and that 55% think Congress should challenge that action in court if the president does so. An August poll conducted by\u00a0the polling company, inc.\/WomanTrend<\/span><\/a>found that three in four respondents oppose the President taking any kind of unilateral executive action to grant amnesty. No wonder the President delayed his executive amnesty until after the elections.<\/p>\n

You sent a strong message on Election Day, and we MUST make sure Boehner and McConnell heard it before speaking to the President Friday! Call these leaders NOW and tell them:<\/b><\/p>\n
