Protest Obama's Amnesty by Executive Order issued on Friday, June 15, 2012.
According to the New York Times article of Friday, June 15, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/16/us/us-to-stop-deporting-some-illegal-immigrants.html
"Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants [others say 800,000 - 1,000,000] who came to the United States as children will be allowed to remain in the country without fear of deportation and able to work, under an executive action the Obama administration announced on Friday.....The policy, while not granting any permanent legal status, clears the way for young illegal immigrants to come out of the shadows, work legally and obtain driver's licenses and many other documents they have lacked.....
Under the change, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer initiate the deportation of illegal immigrants who came to the United States before age 16, have lived here for at least five years, and are in school, are high school graduates or are military veterans in good standing. The immigrants must also be under 30 and have clean criminal records. ...."
CALL SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES TO OPPOSE THIS ILLEGAL USURPATION OF POWER BY THE PRESIDENT. ASK THEM TO SPONSOR A BILL IN CONGRESS OUTLAWING IT. WE NEED TO STOP THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER IMMEDIATELY.
Senator Marco Rubio 202-224-3041 - because he planned to introduce a bill similar to the DREAM Act, and the President had to upstage him.
Senator Richard Burr 202-224-3154
Senator Kay Hagan 202-224-6342
Congressman Howard Coble 202-225-3065
Congresswoman Renee Ellmers 202-225-4531

Talking Points:
1. Giving work permits to illegal youth, when we have such high unemployment, especially when the unemployment rate of black youth is skyrocketing, will only further exacerbate unemployment of citizens and increase costs for the unemployed, legal and illegal.
2. The President is giving speeches about improving the economy. This Executive Order is antithetical to improving the economy.
3. This act will encourage more illegal immigration and flood the border with parents bringing children to the U.S., further deteriorating U.S. security.
4. The President is becoming increasingly dictatorial and is overriding Congress' power. Congress voted against the DREAM Act. The President has admitted in the past that he could not act against this. Now apparently he has decided that he can.

Given the President's present usurpation of Congressional authority, will the President usurp power in other areas? If there is a crisis in the Mideast or with North Korea, will the President declare a state of emergency and seize complete control?

Message from NC Senator Richard Burr

This Week in Washington: Unemployment Benefits Reform Act
This week, I introduced a bill called the Unemployment Benefits Reform Act of 2012 which would individuals who have been unemployed for six months or more to complete 20 hours of public service and 20 hours of active job search or other work related activities per week as conditions for receipt of federal extended unemployment benefits. The United States economy is suffering, and we are experiencing record levels of sustained unemployment. Being unemployed for an extended length of time can be demoralizing for people looking for work, but engagement in volunteer service will encourage unemployed workers to maintain job skills, marketability, and a sense of self-worth while providing for the betterment of their communities. Even more, the active job search requirement will enhance the integrity of the unemployment system and its ability to identify and serve those most in need.
Public service may be fulfilled by working for a 501( c ) (3) organization or a federal, state or local agency, and the bill protects government workers from displacement by only permitting volunteering with a governmental agency when permitted by current law. However, with nearly 13 million unemployed Americans and potentially limited opportunities for voluntary service, states would have the discretionary power to waive the requirement for individuals who had made a concerted effort to volunteer. In addition, unemployed individuals may be exempt from the public service requirement due to illness, family emergency, or if they are unable to perform public service due to child care responsibilities or lack of transportation.
Work related activities include subsidized private sector employment; subsidized public sector employment; work experience (including work associated with the refurbishing of publicly assisted housing); on-the-job training; job readiness assistance; vocational educational training, education directly related to employment, receiving a high school diploma or a certificate of high school equivalency; and providing child care services to an individual who is participating in a community service program.
Not only will this bill improve the stability of our unemployment system, it will also keep the morale, and more importantly, the employability, as high as possible for those looking for work.
Religious Freedom Restoration Act
On Thursday, I signed on as a cosponsor of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012, a bill introduced by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) that would repeal the recent mandate under the President’s health care law that violates religious liberties and conscience rights of faith-based institutions by forcing them to offer employees insurance coverage for contraception free of charge. This mandate is an example of the White House’s complete disrespect for religious beliefs, which has deeply offended many Americans and institutions who do not want to have to choose between providing health insurance for their employees and abandoning the religious beliefs and morals they hold dear.
Religious liberty is one of the most valued freedoms upon which this nation was founded, and I hope that President Obama will reverse this unprecedented federal mandate that conflicts with long-standing religious freedoms and conscience protections.
