DCCC to Boehner: Punish Steve King - Katie Glueck - POLITICO.com

By KATIE GLUECK | 7/28/13 7:05 AM EDT

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is calling on House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to remove Rep. Steve King from the House Judiciary Committee after the Iowa Republican said some children of illegal immigrants are drug smugglers.

The organization is unveiling a petition Sunday asserting that “Congressman Steve King has crossed the line” and that recent “ugly, hateful language has no place in our debate about immigration. Period.” The message will be sent to people on the DCCC’s email list, a source told POLITICO.

Three NEW English bills introduced in Congress!

Tell your Rep. that these English bills need his support. Take Action!


May 18, 2011

Your calls and emails over the past two weeks have helped propel the number of cosponsors on Rep. Steve King's English Language Unity Act (H.R. 997) from 63 to 85! Supporters like you have sent close to 10,000 email messages (and that doesn't even include your phone calls) to Capitol Hill!

With your continued efforts, we will continue to increase the level of support for English legislation and send a clear message to the House Leadership that Americans want Congress to make English the official language.

TAKE ACTION!

1. Representative Peter King's (R-NY) H.R. 1164, the National Language Act, makes English the official language of the United States. It differs from H.R. 997 in that it also repeals multilingual voter ballots. Foreign language voter ballots encourage voting by non-citizens - a violation of federal law.

2. Representative Peter King's (R-NY) H.R. 1307, to repeal Presidential Executive Order 13166, which forces government offices and federal contractors to provide services in multiple languages. This Executive Order can be repealed by President Obama with the stroke of his pen or Congress can pass Rep. Peter King's bill to declare it "null and void."

3. Representative Virginia Foxx's (R-NC) H.R.1715, the Multilingual Services Accounting Act, would end speculation on the cost of multilingual government services. It also requires more transparency in the Government's accounting practices and more accountability with the use of taxpayer money. Americans deserve to know how their money is being spent.

Dear Patriot,

Earlier, Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Michele Bachmann (R-MN) drafted a letter to House Majority Leader John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers urging them not to move forward with the next Continuing Resolution bill unless key language to defund ObamaCare is included.

Both King and Bachmann are willing to shutdown the federal government, and believe inserting this language into the next CR bill is the best opportunity Americans have to defund ObamaCare.

They are also urging ALL members of the House to join with them in pledging to prevent taxpayer money from being used to implement ObamaCare.

Additionally they also want to rescind the $105,464,000,000 already appropriated to ObamaCare. "We cannot successfully defund ObamaCare without shutting off these automatically appropriated funds," said King.

Boehner, Cantor and the House GOP leadership still don’t get it.

TEA PARTY NATION, MARCH 15th, 2011

by Judson Phillips

Today, there will be a vote on a continuing resolution in the House that will keep the government running for another three weeks. They seem excited they are cutting an amazing $6 billion from the budget. $6 billion out of a budget that has a $1.5 trillion dollar deficit. Oh, that’s brave.


Representatives Michele Bachmann, Steve King, along with Tea Party Nation and other groups have drawn a line in the sand. We will not support any continuing resolution that does not defund the $105 billion slipped in for Obamacare and that does not defund Planned Parenthood.

Jim Jordan, a Representative from Ohio, who is a member of the Republican Study Committee called it right when he said, “With the federal government facing record deficits and a mammoth debt hanging over our economy and our future, we must do more than cut spending in bite-sized pieces,”

The party line being parroted by some of the drive by media is that the GOP leadership is being forced to fight the Tea Party movement to avoid being painted as “extremists” by the Democrats and the Obama regime.

Wait, I thought being called extremist by the Democrats was to be expected for anyone whose politics is anywhere to the right of Karl Marx.

The country is being driven off the economic cliff and the GOP leadership is worried about being called bad names?

Obama, Pelosi and Reid have been driving the nation, at full speed, towards an economic disaster. Stopping this is “extreme?”

It has been two weeks since the General Accounting Office came out with a report showing that by eliminating duplicate agencies and ineffective agencies, the government could save hundreds of billions of dollars.

Where is Boehner and the GOP leadership on this one? This is one they should be out in front on. The GOP leadership should have already introduced legislation to start eliminating these programs. Between those cuts and eliminating the $105 billion for Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood, we would be talking about some serious and significant budget reductions.

Unfortunately, as we at Tea Party Nation have pointed out before, the House leadership does not seem serious about cutting the budget. There is an old political joke that has been repeated numerous times on Tea Party Nation. With Democrats you get more of the same. With Republicans, you get less of the same. We are getting less of the same with Speaker Boehner.

This continuing resolution will most likely pass. Fortunately it is only a three-week resolution. We need to stop the next one. The next continuing resolution is where the Tea Party movement needs to make its stand. Either we see hundreds of billions in cuts or we shut the government down. It has come to that.

Speaker Boehner has forgotten how and why he is in the Speaker’s chair. It is up to the conservatives in the House to send him a message and help save American from an economic meltdown.

Member's Corner: LOU CALLING!

IMMIGRATION IS STILL ON THE FRONT BURNER!

With all that's going on in Wisconsin, the immigration issue is alive and well. After reading the following I hope you will contact Congressman Walter Jones at: https://jones.house.gov/ContactForm/default.aspx and urge him to support these bills. Thank you.


Lou

While these bills, when taken together, would not completely fix our nation's immigration ills, they would go a remarkably long way to secure our borders, reduce both legal and illegal immigration, and prevent illegal aliens from living and working in our nation. These bills are:

-- H.R. 692: The Nuclear Family Priority Act. This legislation's main sponsor is Rep. Phil Gingrey and would reform the chain migration system so that only spouses and minor children are automatically given Green Cards when family members immigrate and provides non-work visas for parents.
-- H.R. 800: The E-LAW Act. This legislation's main sponsor is Rep. John Carter and would permanently reauthorize the E-Verify system and oblige all employers to use it on their current and new employees.

-- H.R. 704: The SAFE Act. This legislation's main sponsor is Rep. Bob Goodlatte and would eliminate the visa lottery, which raffles off 50,000 Green Cards each year to would-be immigrants from nations that don't produce a lot of immigrants.

-- H.R. 140: The Birthright Citizenship Act. This legislation's main sponsor is Rep. Steve King and would prevent the children of illegal immigrants from becoming citizens at birth.

-- H.R. 100: The CLEAR Act. This legislation's main sponsor is Rep. Marsha Blackburn and would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws and oblige the federal government to help localities in this area.

BREAKING NEWS: Committee rejects plan to fully defund ObamaCare


Time to play hard ball with House Republicans. Please consider sending a $15. FAX. There is too much at stake not to get involved. ~ Lou

TUESDAY MIDDAY---BREAKING NEWS ON OBAMACARE REPEAL:

The House Rules Committee has rejected Rep. Steve King's proposal to FULLY DEFUND ObamaCare, failing to agree to "protect" King's amendment when it comes to the House floor.

Bottom line -- Republicans on the Rules Committee refused to play hardball to fully defund ObamaCare. By doing so, they are allowing Pelosi's "mandatory" self-funding provisions -- which many say are unconscionable if not unconstitutional -- to stand! This will force this Congress to approve most of the funding for ObamaCare.

FoxNews says King's provision would "cripple all government operations devoted to executing the health law."

DEBATE BEGINS THIS AFTERNOON.  IT IS URGENT THAT CITIZENS EXPRESS THEIR VOICE ON THE ISSUE OF WHETHER OBAMACARE SHOULD BE FULLY DEFUNDED RIGHT NOW.

Rep. Steve King Says Witnesses Are Ready to Testify in Congress About Alleged Fraud in Federal Compensation Payments to Black Farmers


Rep. Steve King (R.-Iowa), who serves on both the House Agriculture Committee and the House Judiciary Committee, says he has personally talked to two potential witnesses in recent months who are ready to come forward and speak to a congressional committee—if one decides to actually investigate the matter--about alleged fraud in discrimination-compensation payments that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made to black farmers.
