Say No to refugees coming to U.S.
Last Friday, the world watched as six independent terrorist attacks took place in Paris.
This coming after a Russian airliner was destroyed by an explosive device placed by ISIS. Among the refugees leaving Syria are those who are carrying out such attacks and vow to bring the fight to Washington.
It is incumbent upon all of us to protest against the 10,000 Syrian refugees that President Obama wants to allow into The United States. His promise to satisfactorily vet these people by intelligence sources and the FBI does not make me feel any better.
He is weak and his policies are allowing ISIS to gain strength. I realize he would like to run out the clock and escape being drawn into another war, but at some point we must destroy the cancer at its source.
Failures in France that allowed this to happen should be a lesson for all Western countries. Yet, we are doubling-down on strategies that have done nothing but empower the enemy.
I urge everyone to call the U.S. Capital daily to oppose Syrian refugees coming to America. It takes less two minutes and you can speak to the staff of our congressmen and senators. They appreciate the call and will pass along our concerns to our elected legislators.
Please call 1-202-224-3121 and follow the automated system to be transferred to our Congressman's office where you can voice your concerns.
