Reid Detonates Nuclear Option
Yesterday, we witnessed an historic power-grab as the beltway liberals desperately attempt to divert attention from the scandalous ObamaCare disaster. Senator Harry Reid, in a highly controversial move, detonated the “nuclear option” — a rules change that now requires a simple majority of 51 rather than 60 votes to confirm executive judicial nominations.

Eagle Forum’s Executive Director Glyn Wright was on “FOX & Friends” over the weekend to discuss some of the problems with Common Core. We know that the Common Core horror stories we are hearing from across the country are just the beginning of this progressive initiative. Common standards drive common testing, which will drive a common curriculum – resulting in a nationalized education system.

This week, the U.S. Senate is set to begin debate on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) (S. 815) that will create special privileges for individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity. For organizations or businesses with 15 or more employees, ENDA will make it illegal to “fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise discriminate against any individual … because of such individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.”

As we continue to watch the Obamacare debacle unfold, and as Establishment Republicans blame uncompromising conservatives for the consequences of the government shutdown, we must hold our ground! The state of Virginia is currently Ground Zero for the battle for the soul of our nation and for the Republican Party.

This week’s political news has been fast-paced, urgent, and indeed scary, but how do we cut through the spin of the Obama administration and their mainstream media? The facts are simple. President Obama and his Democratic Senate absolutely refuse to compromise with House Republicans. They are so unwilling to compromise or even work with Republicans that they shut down the federal government and have now resorted to fear-mongering and hyping this government slow-down into more than it is.

Tomorrow, United States Senators will cast the most important vote of their term thus far – the cloture vote to end debate and proceed to final passage on the House-passed Continuing Resolution (CR). The most successful election that the Republicans have experienced in the past decade was in 2010 when grassroots activists like you rose up in opposition to the tyranny you were seeing from the Obama Administration. Every Republican campaigned on a promise to restore power to the people and do away with the most unpopular law in America – ObamaCare.

Update: Yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz asked for unanimous consent to immediately consider the House-passed Continuing Resolution (CR) without any amendments. As a reminder, this CR funds the government, takes steps to avoid a default on government debt in light of the looming debt ceiling, and defunds ObamaCare. Senator Reid denied this request.

Establishment Republicans and their liberal counterparts want you to believe that there is no way to stop ObamaCare in the current debate over the House-passed Continuing Resolution. Do not be fooled! We have never been closer to stopping ObamaCare. Let your Senators know you want this atrocious bill stopped NOW.

August recess is in full swing, and your legislators are in their home districts. We need to keep up the pressure on them to defund ObamaCare and to stop amnesty.

Eagle Forum is joining with NumbersUSA and Tea Party Patriots for a Stop Amnesty Tour. The first stop on this tour is THIS MONDAY, August 12th, the Stop Amnesty Tour in Jefferson Park in Richmond.

As even some of its most liberal supporters have admitted, ObamaCare is a “train wreck.” The Obama Administration admitted as much when it made the decision to break the law by delaying ObamaCare’s employer mandate and eligibility verification for individual exchanges.

The whole nation watched as State Senator Wendy Davis filibustered the Texas State Senate for 12 hours as she stalled common-sense, life-saving measures for women and the unborn. Although Senator Davis would like you to think she is standing up for women and their right to control their bodies, what she was really doing was protecting the horrific practices of doctors like Kermit Gosnell – which we are finding to be the status quo not the exception – even in Texas.

Join Pro-Lifers in Austin TOMORROW
You may have heard about the shameful debacle in Austin last week when hundreds of protesters stalled a pro-life omnibus in the State Senate. If the vote had been taken 5 minutes earlier, common-sense, lifesaving measures would have been put into place for women and unborn babies.

This coming weekend in Orlando, the Center for College and Career Readiness will be hosting a two-day conference National Common Core Training conference for educators, school board members, and administrators “to provide high quality, in-depth, professional development opportunities which focus on demands of preparing students to be college and career ready. The conference will address how schools and districts can successfully transition to the Common Core Standards…”

The final Cloture vote, the motion to end discussion and move to final passage of the Gang of Eight’s loophole and political payoff-ridden amnesty bill is scheduled for June 27th. Cloture is important, because it requires a 60 vote threshold, so it’s the only vote conservatives can win in the Senate.
Continue reading →Amnesty Vote at 5:30 Call Senators NOW!
Your Senators will be voting at 5:30 (ET) today on a bill that in all likelihood they have not read! The Schumer-Corker-Hoeven amendment is nothing but a fig leaf that promises strong border security but is full of loopholes to ensure the border never gets secured. It does not fix any of the problems in the underlying Gang of Eight bill, in fact, it adds to the cost and only makes the bill worse.
