“It’s official: conservatives have no place in the Republican Party. [I agree. That is why I left and joined the Constitution Party. The Constitution Party is the only conservative party in the country that is in the top five of parties in membership. I just received notice today from the Constitution Party of Texas that Darrell Castle has qualified as a write-in candidate in Texas.]

Not only has every incumbent RINO been reelected in this ‘year of the outsider [Not correct. The next article corrects this misstatement. Two were defeated earlier in the year.].’ Not only has almost every open seat gone to the yes-men for K Street and GOP leadership [This is unfortunately true!]. One of the few brave conservative incumbents in the House has just been defeated by a shill for the big government lobbyists who lied to voters and ran as a conservative [The normal tactic for RINO (Republicans In Name Only) Republicans]. Thus, the only incumbent to be defeated this year was Tim Huelskamp, R-Ky. (A, 91%) in Kansas’s First District. You read that right: the only incumbent to go down in this glorious ‘populist’ revolution is one of the fiercest fighters against this rigged political system.

While everyone is a big hero now and ridicules John Boehner as a failure, Huelskamp was literally the first member to stand up to him [After he was lied to by John Boehner]. Now the lobbyists know how to pick our lock and will pick off the few remaining members who dare to defy those in the party who want to do nothing more than play interference for Democrats [The Capitulation Party].

So much for the revolution [Never was one from the Donald Trump camp.].

You can read more about this race in my post from last week.

Folks, at some point we need to stop exemplifying the definition of insanity [Agreed! Why I left the Republican Party after it left me!]. What we are doing is not working. The party runs candidates with tons of money who lie about who they are and smear our people as political insiders who are anything but true conservatives. The waters are so muddied that the candidate with the most money and lobbyist support wins.

We must be reminded of the admonition of Haggai:

You have sown much and you bring in little. You eat without being satiated. You drink without getting your fill. You dress, and it has no warmth. And he who profits, profits into a bundle with holes.’ [Haggai 1: 6]

It’s real simple: we either reform the primary system back to representative conventions where money and lobbyists are blunted by grassroots activists [The Establishment does not want party conventions! The activists at conventions are conservatives.] or we start a third party [Or join an already existing conservative partythe Constitution Party].

This current system is so rigged against principled constitutionalists that even when the voters agree with us on the issues, we have nothing to show for it this year but a candidate at the top who is tied with Hillary in several red states [Who is NOT a conservative!] and not a single conservative winning down ballot.

If 28 years of failure since Reagan has not proven that conservatives have no future in this party, tonight’s election should serve as a wakeup call [And the elections yesterday in Arizona and Florida!].”

The elections yesterday in Arizona and Florida
https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/08/last-nights-elections-demonstrate-conservatives-have-no-place-in-this-party
By: Daniel Horowitz | August 31, 2016

“When conservatives are forced to find solace in the fact that one of their few incumbents wasn’t defeated in a primary and take that as good news, it’s a sign we are strangers in our own party.

Last night was the final major primary night of this election cycle. After Senator John McCain, R-Ariz. (F, 34%) managed to win reelection yet again, it has become clear that the elites within the party can stab conservatives in the back on a daily basis and still win reelection with a 100-percent success rate. Aside from two anomalous redistricting circumstances in Virginia and North Carolina, not a single incumbent Republican has been defeated … except for one of our own: Representative Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan. (A, 91%).

Let’s start with the good news first:

AZ-4:

After being the subject of hundreds of thousands of dollars in attack ads from special interests, such as the RightWayPAC and the Western Growers Association, Representative Paul Gosar, R-Ariz. (B, 83%) cruised to victory with 70% of the vote against his primary challenger. At least the Huelskamp dynamic is not repeating itself elsewhere. We can now celebrate the fact that we can keep the few good members left in the House.

Now for the bad news:

AZ Senate:

John McCain was re-nominated yet again with a double digit win over his challenger, state senator Kelly Ward. [Personally, I didnt think Kelly Ward was a conservative. She was certainly better than John McCain!] There are no words in the English language to describe the degree of perfidy and betrayal this man has achieved in undermining conservatives over the years. He has scored more points for the other team than Democrats could have won had one of their own been occupying that seat for the past 15 years. [True! And that is what I think will happen if Donald Trump wins the Presidency! I think he is more of a Democrat than even John McCain! I was told by Republicans while living in Arizona that John McCain would be more comfortable as a Democrat in Massachusetts than he is as a Republican in Arizona!] Although he was extremely vulnerable, McCain’s ubiquitous name ID and huge war chest once again scared off first-tier candidates from challenging him. [Unfortunately true. Last year, I tried to encourage three current Republican Congressmen to run against him and none would even reply.]

McCain’s victory is all the more devastating because he is the first incumbent to have won six years ago by lying to primary voters and winning reelection yet again. In 2010, McCain won his primary by running all the way to the right and promising to ‘build the dang fence.’ Not only did McCain then turn around and push comprehensive amnesty [He was one of theGang of Eight.”], he voted against building the fence as a prerequisite for amnesty.

AZ-5:

Conservatives lose seats when good incumbents retire and we fail to replace them with likeminded conservatives. Representative Matt Salmon, R-Ariz. (B, 83%) is retiring after this year. He made sure to endorse state senator Andy Biggs, a man with a proven conservative record in the legislature, right out of the gate. But in came Christine Jones, a liberal millionaire who praised Hillary Clinton and accepted the premise of global warming … before she ran for House. By outspending Biggs by a margin of 3-1 and touting herself as an anti-Hillary conservative, Jones was able to pull out a very tight victory in a crowded and divided field. This conservative seat has just been flipped to the other side and will set back the Arizona delegation during the next session.

FL-1 and 2:

As our team observed last night, ‘ultimately, Tuesday’s primary proved a great night for the Republican establishment in Florida, with conservative challengers Rebekah Bydlak and Mary Thomas both losing to moderates with more money and higher name ID.’ In District two, Neal Dunn outspent Mary Thomas by about 2-1, but won by less than 2,000 votes. Dunn had the support of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. (F, 38%) which gives us an indication of how he will vote from day one. Conservatives don’t care about identity politics, but the party elites are obsessed with it. As such, it’s awfully bizarre that the establishment would interfere in an open House primary to defeat Mary Thomas, an Indian-American millennial candidate [As far as I am concerned, in open primaries the leadership should stay out it! It should be the voters of the District who decides the candidate NOT the leadership from Washington! In fact, that includes incumbents! Let the voters decide!]. The message is clear: conservativesof all stripesmust be defeated.

[Florida 1 from http://enight.elections.myflorida.com/FederalOffices/ Rebekah Bydlak lost badly which tells me that she was wanting in some way. As I said yesterday, I never received any information on this race.]

Candidate Votes Received
Rebekah Johansen Bydlak 07,689 7.78% came in 4th

Neal Dunn 33,873 41.38%
Ken Sukhia 15,821 19.33%
Mary Thomas 32,162 39.29%

81,857 Total

FL-19:

This was another seat that the establishment turned over in a way that is just as bad as Democrats picking up the seat. Representative Curt Clawson, R-Fla. (A, 94%) was one of the most conservative members in the House and helped lead the fight against John Boehner. Like a citizen legislator, he decided to retire after just one full term in the House. Now that seat will go to Francis Rooney, a man who has taken liberal positions on abortion and immigration. How did he win? Well, when you spend $3.5 million in an open House seat to say how conservative you are, and your opponents raise just a few hundred thousand, the outcome is never in contention.

[I did not receive e-mails on this either.

Candidate Votes Received %
Dan Bongino 15,434 17.39% (conservative)
Chauncey Goss 26,520 29.88%
Francis Rooney 46,800 52.73%

88,754 Total

In 2014, Dan Bongino ran for the House in Maryland. I don’t know the situation but he might have been considered a “carpetbagger” running in Florida two years later.]

FL-Senate:

Once Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla. (C, 77%) announced his intention to run for reelection, most of the viable challengers dropped out and the outcome was never in contention. Regardless of how one feels about Rubio, it is a shame that Representative Ron DeSantis, R-Fla. (A, 90%) didn’t get a chance to win this seat for conservatives in November. He was the only viable conservative running for Senate across the map this year. Yet, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kan. (F, 42%) moved heaven and earth to ensure that Rubio would return to the race and box out DeSantis. Last night’s election seals the fate of the Senate: not a single movement conservative will be elected to the upper chamber this year [Not yet true. There is a conservative who won the nomination for the Senate in ColoradoDarryl Glenn!].

[There were four Republicans running for the Senate after Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race. He did win re-nomination for the House. Senator Rubio received almost 72% of the vote.

One positive that occurred in the Democratic Party. Alan Grayson lost badly in his bid for the Senate and his wife Dena Grayson came in third in her attempt to win the nomination for her husbands House of Representatives seat in District 9. Next session their will be no Grayson in Congress!]

There you have it, folks. Conservatives have failed to knock off a single incumbent House or Senate member this year [Defeated two in the House!], failed to nominate a single conservative to an open Senate seat [We need more conservatives in both the House and the Senate but particularly in the Senate. We need to get to work now to get more conservatives in the Senate in 2018!], and have won very few open House seats.

Primaries are all about name recognition and name ID is all about money or reality TV status. This is why Donald Trump won the presidential primary after receiving billions of dollars in endless free and exclusive media coverage. And that is the same reason why Rubio, McCain, Rooney, and Jones won last night and why the establishment is winning down the ballot. There is no great outsider’s insurgency taking place. It’s all about name ID – as has been the case in every election. Sadly, ninety-five percent of the time the factor of name recognition will favor the non-conservative candidate. What is so frustrating is that the establishment runs their candidates as movement conservatives and uses their superior firepower to promote our message … until the primaries are over.

Once again, it is clear conservatives have no future in the party as it is currently constituted. Most of those elected in primaries this year will do nothing to combat Hillary Clinton in Congress if she becomes president. If Republicans lose the general election, conservatives have two choices: either pursue wholesale reform of the primary process or start a new party [Or join the only conservative Party now in existencethe Constitution Party of America].”

It is time for conservatives to join other conservatives and BUILD the Constitution Party into one of the two major parties!

You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.

Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!

https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/08/what-to-watch-for-with-florida-and-arizona-primary-results

Here’s what you should watch for in tonight’s Florida and Arizona primary results
By: Nate Madden | August 30, 2016

“A handful of primary races in the Sunshine [Florida] and Grand Canyon [Arizona] States will pick some of the most important down-ballot contenders [Congress] in the 2016 election cycle. Here’s the breakdown.

The trend tonight is fighting off the establishment. Following the primary defeat of conservative stalwart Tim Huelskamp last month in Kansas, the GOP establishment has been looking to pick off and block conservatives elsewhere. [They have been doing this since the rise of the Tea Party in 2010. When a conservative verse a RINO (Republican In Name Only) Republican are running in a primary, they support the RINO. If the conservative wins the primary, they do not support him/her in the general election. They expect us to support the RINO if he/she wins but refuse to support the conservative!]

The races to watch for conservatives tonight are those in the Florida 1st, 2nd, and 19th Districts; Arizona’s 4th and 5th; as well as high-profile senate races in each state.

In Arizona’s 4th Congressional District, Rep. Paul Gosar (B, 83%) is facing a well-funded establishment primary challenge akin to the kind that ousted fellow Freedom Caucus Member Tim Huelskamp just a few weeks ago [August 2]. According to Roll Call earlier this month, Gosar is the latest target of a GOP establishment that wants a more ‘cooperative’ conference that’s more willing to play along with leadership [More willing to capitulate to the Democrats which is what the Republican establishment has bee doing for the last seven plus years!].

In the race to replace the retiring Matt Salmon, R-Ariz. (B-83%) in the Arizona 5th, state Senator Andy Biggs—who is described as an ‘erudite ultra-conservative,’ backed by both FredomWorks and Club for Growth—is taking on three other challengers, including former Maricopa County Supervisor and current immigration soft-liner Don Stapley, as well as former GoDaddy executive Christine Jones, who is largely self-funding her campaign to the tune of $1.6 million.

In the Florida 1st an eight-way race to replace retiring congressman Jeff Miller features Rebekah Johansen Bydlak [Is she conservative?]—who, at 26, is aiming to become the youngest female congresswoman in history—combat veteran Chris Dosev, and state Representative Matt Gaetz [Who is the conservative? I am not familiar with this race which means I have not been receiving e-mails about the race.], who raised over $1 million for the race.

Another open-seat primary, the Florida 2nd is a standard-issue grassroots-versus-establishment proxy war between the conservative-backed Mary Thomas and establishment foe Neil Dunn, whose campaign had outraised the former by over $500,000 as of August 10 [Conservative candidates are usually out spent. Half a million is a lot of out spending.].

The Florida 19th offers a case study, where even national conservative groups like the American Conservative Union have endorsed Francis Rooney, a former U.S. ambassador and big-time Republican donor over former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino [He sometimes does the Mark Levine radio show when he is not on-the-air for whatever reason.], despite Rooneys comparatively soft stances on key issues of immigration and defunding Planned Parenthood.

On the Senate side, expect a little less of a shakeup. John McCain’s primary challenger, Kelli Ward, has a shot at the nomination, but not much of one [Which is sad, if true, since John McCain should have been gone a long time ago!]. While the former GOP presidential nominee is expected to fend off the pro-Trump former Arizona state legislator, McCain is currently preparing to just squeak by despite enjoying a sizable lead in previous polling [Polls do not vote!].

The Republican senate run in the Sunshine State should prove to be even less surprising. Despite telling CNN that he couldn’t commit to a six year-term if re-elected earlier in the day, Marco Rubio, R-Fla. (C, 77%) should coast handily into the winners’ circle [The polls are closed in Florida as I write this and ABC news has delcared him the winner.]. This is thanks in no small part to Freedom Caucus member Ron DeSantis (A, 90%) [I like Ron DeSantis. However, when he first declared, he sent me e-mails seeking a donation. Each time, I asked if he would drop out if Mark Rubio flamed out and decided to run for the Senate again. He never responded! I was not surprised by his dropping out!] dropping out of the race to refocus on keeping a hold on the Florida 6th. Contrary to his initial plans to return to the private sector after his failed presidential bid, Rubio was convinced by party leaders to vie for reelection.

What most of these primary races have in common are money and name recognitiontwo factors legitimate conservative candidates often dont have working in their favor. Sure, the GOP establishments execution-style targeting of Tim Huelskamp sent shockwaves through the conservative world, but it’s merely endemic of an even larger pattern. Despite the anti-establishment fervor that has set the tone of both parties’ primary election cycles, the establishment favorites have won almost every single Republican primary so far this year. Notable exceptions to this trend are Randy Forbes in Virginia [Conservative Review scorecard: J. Randy Forbes R VA-4 D 62% 15 2016] and Renee Ellmers in North Carolina [Renee Ellmers R NC-2 F 54% 6 2016. She sabotaged a pro-life bill early this year!] (and both of those were largely the result of redistricting).

While the political climate is ripe for conservative wins, the primary process as it stands still favors establishment picks who can flood the zone with media buys over their conservative counterparts. This is how the system currently operates and will continue to do so until states proactively reform their primary systems to representative conventionsas has been previously explained at Conservative Review [My proposal is to take federal elections out of the hands of the States and place them in the hands of Congress as allowed by the Constitution.]

Again: Tonight’s primaries are going to decide some of the most consequential down-ballot races of the 2016 election. As you watch the returns come in, follow the money.”

In many instances, the primaries are the most important election for they select the candidates for the general election. Look what the primaries gave us: Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. I predict, the Republican Party is involved in one of its last national elections! The Republican Party is trying deliberately to drive conservatives out of the Party.

You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.

Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!

I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative.

I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative.

http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/immigration-watchdog-trump-is-9th-member-of-gang-of-8/


A leading amnesty foe is blasting Donald Trump for moving far away from his earlier proposal on how to handle the millions of people in the country illegally, and he said the Republican presidential nominee now holds a position largely identical to those offered by Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and the Senate’s Gang of Eight.

On Tuesday, Trump told the Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that many people have approached him about softening his plan to create a national deportation force to expel everyone in the U.S. illegally.

‘I’ve had very strong people come up to me, really great, great people come up to me. They’ve said, ‘Mr. Trump, I love you, but to take a person who’s been here for 15 or 20 years and throw them and the family out. It’s so tough, Mr. Trump.’ I have it all the time,’ said Trump on ‘Hannity’ Tuesday night.

He then explained why allowing those who followed the law since entering the country illegally would not amount to amnesty [Really? Seriously? Yes, it is! They came in illegally! People who came in illegally should NOT be rewarded for their illegal behavior! It is a slap in the face to the American people and to all those who followed the law and came into the country or are trying to come into the country legally! If someone robbed a bank of hundreds of thousands of dollars and THEN led a legal life afterward, do you forgive the crime because he is now leading a legal life as he benefits from his illegal action? NO accountability! NO responsibility!].

‘They’ll pay back taxes [Sure they will? Is he serious? The IRS is too busy keeping conservatives out of non-profits to know how much they would owe in taxes! This from a man who supposedly got $25 million in back taxes expunged by the State of New Jersey!]. They have to pay taxes. There’s no amnesty as such. There’s no amnesty,’ Trump said [Donald. Here is some news you should understand. Saying it does not make it so! The Left has been saying all along that amnesty is not amnesty!].

But Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian told WND and Radio America this is a stunning reversal for the candidate who won the GOP nomination based largely upon his commitment to secure the border and remove those living here illegally [It was just talk! Saying what he thought his audiences wanted to hear! Just like Barrack Hussein Obama!]. He said this new Trump approach doesnt seem to differ much at all from the 2013 Gang of Eight bill that passed the U.S. Senate but died in the House of Representatives [Which was amnesty!].

‘Not that much, honestly,’ Krikorian said. ‘The Gang of Eight was obviously a lot more detailed with a lot more explicit, whereas Trump is talking off the top of his head. But really, he is now the unofficial ninth member of the Gang of Eight.’

‘You’ve got to wonder when Jeb (Bush) was watching this on TV, he probably spit out his drink and started yelling, ‘Thats my immigration plan!’’

He said Trump used the same verbal tactics that amnesty supporters also employ.

‘He was using phrases like ‘it’s not really an amnesty’ or ‘it’s not an amnesty as such’ and ‘they’ll pay back taxes. [A duck by any other name is still a duck. Amnesty by any other name is still amnesty!].’ Those are buzzwords of the pro-amnesty people [Sure are just like fetus, choice, product of conception are buzzwords for murdering unborn children!]. Every politician pushing an amnesty says its not really an amnesty [They lie!].” he said.

Krikorian asserted that, just like 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, Trump doesnt speak the language of conservatives and really has no idea what they believe [Because he is not a conservative!].

‘The guy has been running on immigration for a year,’ Krikorian said. ‘And he still doesn’t have the three bullet-point summary that you need to be able to articulate if you’re running for office on your signature issue. You need to know something about your signature issue. He doesnt. Nothing.’

Krikorian believes it’s that disconnect with conservatives that led Trump to mistakenly conclude that the party base favored mass deportation through deportation squads. He said Trump may well have offered that idea out of genuine concern over America’s poor border security, but he was going to have to ease his position eventually,

‘He was going to have to walk back his ridiculous comments about deporting all the illegals. There was no question. No immigration restrictionist has ever called for that,’ Krikorian said. ‘That’s just something that was sort of a gut reaction of his. That was Archie Bunker yelling at the television.’

In the wake of Trump’s major policy shift, there is some speculation that internal polling convinced Trump to change course. Krikorian said if that’s the case, it should not be taken as a sign that American oppose blocking citizenship or legalization for those in the U.S. illegally.

‘What the polling would likely show is that saying you’re going to deport all 12 million illegal aliens in two years with deportation squads, or whatever term he used, that doesn’t poll well,’ Krikorian explained. ‘You bet it doesn’t. That’s why no one in the restrictionist movement has ever suggested anything like that.’

But Krikorian said Trump walked it back in entirely the wrong way, by listening to his Latino advisers, who all backed the Gang of Eight and the immigration proposals of President George W. Bush.

‘They’re all Bush people,’ he said. ‘They were all for the amnesty in the Gang of Eight, and they were all for the earlier Bush amnesty. Presumably, with this meeting, people were saying, ‘Well Donald, it’s not really an amnesty if you don’t give them citizenship and make them pay back taxes.’’

‘They made the same assumption that Republican and even Democratic politicians always makethat there’s only two options. Either deport them all with deportation squads or amnesty. It is not a binary choice,’ he said.

Krikorian said the right way to back away from mass deportation was obvious. In fact, it’s been on Trump’s website for months. The strategy includes consistent enforcement of the law, monitoring businesses as they hire and keeping track of visa holders to reduce the number of people in the U.S. illegally.

Then when you re-establish control, you can have a discussion about what we do about the people who are left here,’ he explained.

While Krikorian slams Trump for flip-flopping on his signature issue, he is far more critical of Hillary Clinton. Krikorian said Clinton has the most radical immigration plan ever put forward by a major party nominee in the U.S., to the point of refusing to deport anyone here illegally unless they are convicted of a violent felony. [The thing is, she can not do that constitutionally without the approval of Congress. A Republican Congress could stop her! The real question is would they? They would be more likely to oppose Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump if they want to save their elective office!] She would also grant amnesty to all current illegal immigrants.

‘That is radical,’ he said. ‘Trump does look pretty good compared to that [But not in relation to Constitution Party candidate Darrell Castle!]. My point is not that they’re the same or that Trump is worse. Hillary is unbelievably worse on immigration, to the level of irresponsibility and dereliction of duty [Would Republicans in Congress have the courage to impeach her for violations of the Constitution? They certainly will not impeach Donald Trump!].’”

Donald Trump is suppose to give a major speech on immigration Wednesday. The problem is that what he reads off a teleprompter is not necessarily what he will say a week later and more importantly not necessarily what he will actually do if he should be elected President. I do not trust him and he has given no evidence that he can be trusted!

Once again, it is obvious that Constitution Party candidate Darrell Castle is the only conservative choice of the candidates running for President from the five largest political parties!

My policy positions for immigration, illegal aliens, and related subjects

1) follow and enforce the laws now on the books

2) no illegals and no amnesty for illegals including children brought into the country illegally by their parents, relatives, others, and the federal government under President Obama

3) secure the borderboth the Southern border and the Northern border. Border States have every constitutional right to apprehend, arrest, and prosecute illegals who are within the boundaries of the State. So does every other State. The State has jurisdiction over anyone within the Statelegal and illegal.

4) impeach President Obama for allowing the U.S. to be invaded. This may be done in January of 2017. The new Congress takes office on January 3rd. The President leaves office on January 20th.

Article IV Section 4: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.”

5) undo every illegal action President Obama permitted,

6) Freeze all legal immigration and programs for two years except those already in the pipeline through the normal immigration process to clean up the disasters caused by the illegal actions of the Obama Administration. Streamline the legal immigration program. At the present time, it may take years to get approved legally

End result, selected legal immigration and noillegals. Probably can’t stop illegals completely.

7) End the current refugee program which has been abused by the Obama Administration. Congress deals with ANY refugee program on a case by case basis as the need arises. Must be passed by law.

8) “Birthrightcitizenship has been misapplied by the courts. Congress needs to clarify what the Constitution intended. My ex was an emergency room nurse at the largest hospital in Tucson. It is true that pregnant women from Mexico (and beyond) came to the U.S. for the purpose of having the baby delivered in the U.S. to gain citizenship for the baby.

You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.

Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!

Thursday, August 25th; I wrote about George Soros funding Black Lives Matter and Planned Murderhood (AKA Planned Parenthood). Today, George Soros is also funding the push for the Left’s idea of “immigration reform” and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Soros Plot to Undermine American Sovereignty and Attack NumbersUSA Exposed
 
New E-mail Leak On Soros’ Open Society Foundation Reveals Subversion of Churches, Media, Politicians and their Parties

When the Senates Gang of 8 bill to triple immigration was being pushed through Congress, one group organized millions of its supporters, and put into action a plan to stop it. Your group, NumbersUSA. [The hard truth: Donald Trump was nowhere to be found when we were fighting against amnesty and the Gang of Eight!”].

The open borders crowd knew they had to make it past us to get their way, and we stopped them cold.

Now the hacker group, DCLeaks, has leaked more than 2,500 documents, exposing a plan to bring about open borders and subvert the American political system ... in part, by smearing NumbersUSA [A normal tactic of the Left!].

NumbersUSA will never get taken down ... as long as you stand with us!

https://www.numbersusa.com/give

Turns out George Soros and his Open Society Foundation is behind it all. Soros bankrolled the amnesty push, and now he knows who he needs to defeat to get the Billionaires amnesty through ... NumbersUSA!

The open borders crowd knew they had to make it past us, and we stopped them. We defeated the billionaires. We dont need billions of dollars. We have the support of the American people. But it does take some money to continue countering the billionaires and to give voice to American workers, honest businessmen and families.

Soros got the Clintons and the DNC [Democratic National Committee] firmly on the Open Borders’ side.

He bought the loyalty of church leadersthrough phony front groups like the ‘Evangelical Immigration Table.’ He even claims to have subverted the Southern Baptist Convention’s leadership.

He put up the funding for fake studies on immigration, and released to them to his media pals.

Soros even tried to spend his way to a Supreme Court victory on U.S. v. Texas, which threw out Obama’s largest executive amnesty. ‘Grantees are seeking to influence the Justices in hopes of securing a favorable ruling in U.S. v Texas,’ a Soros memo states.

He decided he had to undermine NumbersUSA to ever get his open-borders immigration bill pass. So he coordinated an attack on us through multiple groups of his including his groups ‘America's Voice’, ‘Center for American Progress’, and ‘Center for New Community". These groups ginned up a whole disinformation campaign [A favorite propagandist tool!] and got all the whole galaxy of Soros hirelings spouting it. The mainstream media loved it, of course.

Can we really fend off the attacks of a billionaire? Yes, we can. And we will. Soros’ own memos note his chosen theme of ‘Welcome the Stranger [Not when the stranger is here illegally. No more than we would welcome a stranger who entered our house illegally! Do you think George Soros would welcome a stranger who entered his mansion illegally?]’ worked with certain religious leaders, but not with voters. But we can only keep winning with your support.

You know who George Soros is, and you know how he works. Soros runs a hedge fund. When bad things happen to economies, he makes money. And when he gets involved in politics, he can make bad things happen. Maybe you’ve read about how he broke the Bank of London, triggering 15% interest rates back in 1991. The worlds economy screeched to a halt ... but he made a billion dollars.

Now, what Soros seeks is to leverage the refugee crisis into a new normal for the U.S. and Europe, replace ‘immigration detention’ with refugee resettlement [including Muslim refugee settlements when the refugees are not vetted. Such a course of action is an open invitation to terrorists to come in with the refugees, as refugees! We are inviting terrorists to invade our nation!], and fundamentally transform the democratic process. This ‘new normal’quoting from a leaked Soros document written on May 12, 2016he sees as an opportunity to replace immigration detention centers with resettlement programs, and to create a single global society [Here is a question for consideration. Why would a person who is probably going to be dead in the next fifteen years or sohe is 86 nowbe so passionate about creating a single global society? Does he think he will live forever? If he does, he is wrong! One day he will have to give an account to GOD as we all will!].’

Unfortunately for Soros, its all out in the open now. Of course, we already knew it. Now, we simply have the cold, hard facts to counter the skeptics, coming straight from Soros himself. Now, the politicians cant hide behind their poll-tested buzz phrases; We know who they are by the words Soros passes on to them.

And well be calling them out. Help us protect America s very nationhood. Give today.

[1 Timothy 6: 8-10 (NIV)

“But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”]
