<p>What did Republicans get in this bill? Why were they willing to allow Obama to go forth with his immigration plan?</p>
<p>Two things. Near unlimited campaign giving to party organizations and to make that effective, transfer of risk for dirivative trading from banks to the American taxpayers. If this is the plan for their newfound power, no thanks.</p>

<p>Just a shout out to all those "conservative" Republicans in the Duval County Republican Party that supported and re-elected crenshaw ....again.</p>
<p>Only 37 days since the election and crenshaw has already sold out the "conservative" Republicans that re-elected him AGAIN.</p>
<p>How you like your boy now? Still in love with him? It's ok, he'll have some more slick TV commercials running again in 2 years.</p>

<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>As you may be aware by now, the long-term spending bill nicknamed "CRomnibus" that some call "A Blank Check for Amnesty" passed tonight by a very close margin, 219-206. The vote was originally thought to sail through and the vote was never supposed to be this close. This is a testament to your diligence and hard work educating your House members on the impacts of this bill. I wanted to send you a statement Heritage Action just released:</p>

<p>DAN HOLLER | DECEMBER 11, 2014</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Moments ago, the Republican-controlled House passed the cromnibus after very aggressive whipping from President Obama and the White House staff. Heritage Action key voted against the 1,700+ page bill because it amounts to a blank check for Obama’s amnesty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This morning, the bill’s defeat was seen as likely when the rule to debate the bill passed by just two votes after significant arm-twisting from top Republicans. According to National Review, “House leadership promised to pull the CRomnibus and replace it with a short-term continuing resolution that would push the entire funding debate into next year.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pushing the debate into the early next year would have set the stage for a significant fight to stop the President’s unlawful amnesty. Instead, House GOP leaders worked with President Obama to fund his executive amnesty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Conservative lawmakers are livid, and for good reason.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Washington Establishment is desperately hoping voters and lawmakers will forget about today’s ugliness, but the deception and shenanigans are different this time. This legislation funds President Obama’s unilateral, unlawful actions, which include granting quasi-legal status, work permits and Social Security numbers to those who are in the country illegally.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks to each and every one of you who diligently made phone calls, tweeted, sent emails, visited district offices and leveraged personal contacts to urge you House member to vote against this bill. In the end, 5 Republicans from Florida voted NO and they deserve recognition for standing on principle in the face of incredible pressure from House Leadership. Click on their name to access their email, phone and twitter information and please thank them for their courageous vote. These five are: </p>

<p>FYI, this just out. Boehner has a plan B which involves 1) passing a 1 week CR to get past tonight's deadline and 2) pass a 3 month CR rather than whole FY15 sans DHS. Boehner lacks a majority of Republicans to pass the CRomnibus (needs 43-68 democrats to join him, which would break the "Hastert rule").</p>

<p>All this not to say necessarily that 3 month is good as we've not seen it, but to say that calls are working to block the CRomnibus that we KNOW is bad (for a myriad of reasons) and force them from this bad legislation.</p>
<p>Keep up the pressure with this message: #NoAmnesty and vote NO on #CRomnibus.</p>
<p>Also, short term DHS as proposed in CRomnibus is NOT leverage to end amnesty and Boehner has never said what the strategy is, if any, in Feb! Read the Hill's analysis.</p>

<p>Followed the link above (easy!); told her I'm upset & that Congress should do everything they can to stop the President's executive orders regarding amnesty, work permits, and SS for illegal immigrants, and I want Rep Crenshaw to vote no on Obama's spending bill.

<p>I just called Crenshaw, They seemed rather bored with the conversation, uh-huh, uh-huh, untill I asked what the hell uh-huh meant! Then they did a better job of seeming interested in the topic, couldn’t tell me how he was going to vote, wouldn’t want to miss-speak you know. We need calls!!</p>
