Urgent Legislative
Action Alert
3 Easy Ways to Get the
Message to Congress:
“NO REFUGEES”
Important Update: We recently sent out
information on three easy — but very important — steps you can take to
oppose the resettlement of Syrian refugees coming to the U.S. We’ve had
a great response to this Alert and so we are sending the information
once again (see below). If you have not yet taken action on this
matter, please do — especially
on the 3rd action highlighted below. The U.S. Congress
will be passing a funding bill over the coming days and it is IMPERATIVE that no funding for refugee
resettlement be included.
The phones are ringing off the hook on Capitol Hill with
calls from constituents who feel strongly about this matter. Is your voice part of that sea
of opposition? It doesn’t matter if those who represent
you in Congress are Republicans or Democrats. They represent you, and
you need to make your views known.
Also, please Click
Here to see
information about a letter that 73 Members of the House of
Representatives sent to Speaker Paul Ryan opposing refugee resettlement
funding.
President Obama
has been clear that he still intends to bring hundreds of thousands of
Syrian refugees to our towns and communities — irrespective of the roar
of disapproval from American citizens, the strong public disapproval of
over half of U.S Governors, the passage of legislation by the U.S.
Congress, and — of course — even after the Paris attack, where we now
know that at least one of the terrorists arrived in Europe as a Syrian
refugee.
This is unacceptable and ACT for America is taking action,
but we need your help.
We have three
important and time-sensitive ACTION ALERTS currently underway. Please
be sure to take action on each of them, and to forward this e-mail to
everyone you know. This is a critical time, both in our nation and
worldwide, and we need all hands on deck.
IMPORTANT
ACTION ALERTS
1. We are gathering tens of thousands of signatures on an Open Letter
to the leadership in the House and Senate voicing strong opposition to the Obama
Administration’s plans to bring Syrian refugees to the U.S. The letter
will be hand-delivered to the U.S. Congress by our Director of
Government Relations. If you haven’t yet added your name, please click HERE
to do so.
2. We are actively supporting H.R. 3314, the Resettlement
Accountability National Security Act of 2015 introduced by Rep Brian
Babin (R-TX). The bill would immediately suspend the
U.N.-run refugee program to provide Congress time to fully assess the
national security risks and investigate its financial burden on
federal, state and local taxpayers.
As of this writing, the bill has 78 cosponsors. Is your
House Representative one of them? Click HERE
to find out.
If not, please send your House Representative an e-mail asking for
cosponsorship, by clicking
HERE. If
your Representative HAS cosponsored the bill, please send a quick note
to say thank you. It goes a long way.
(Several weeks ago, before the Paris attack, Representative
Babin spoke on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives about the
grave threat associated with the U.N.-run refugee program. Click HERE
to watch it.)
3. We are actively registering our opposition to any federal funding for U.S.
Refugee resettlement actions to be included in the U.S. Congress’s end
of year spending bill. This is our most time-sensitive
activity right now! Please click
HERE to e-mail or call your federal legislators TODAY to express your
opposition to any federal funding going to refugee resettlement.
[NOTE: When calling your legislator’s office, it’s fine to
merge Actions 2 and 3 together. Express your support for Rep.
Babin’s bill and ask for cosponsorship; and express your opposition for
any refugee resettlement funding in the fiscal year 2016 budget bill.]
The Paris attack is but a foreshadowing of what can and
will take place in our nation soon. We cannot allow unvetted refugees
from Syria (or elsewhere) to be settled in our towns and communities.
This is a high priority national security matter. Please take action
today and pass this e-mail on to everyone you know. Remember, if each
of us does just a little, together we can accomplish a lot.
Thank you for all that you do.
ACT for America accepts no funding from any governmental agency, any
foreign influence peddlers, or political institutions. Your
