\nWashington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Re: NO MORE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP!<\/p>\n

Dear [TITLE] [LAST NAME]:<\/p>\n

We are facing a budget crisis in America today. The president has recently made comments about trying again to pass the DREAM Act. We cannot afford this. We cannot afford any kind of backdoor amnesty for illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

Our country cannot afford to allow illegal immigrants to stay in this country simply because they had a child that is a naturalized citizen. It is not fair to the taxpayer, who has to foot the bill for the birth, healthcare and welfare of these children.<\/p>\n

A woman who comes to this country illegally and gives birth, should not be free from deportation just because the child is considered a citizen. These children are NOT citizens, even if it wasn\u2019t their fault that their parents came here illegally. We cannot afford to give them in-state tuition, or taxpayer-funded assistance so that they can become citizens.<\/p>\n

As a member of the 112th Congress it is your duty to govern by the Constitution. The Constitution applies to AMERICAN CITIZENS, it does not cover everyone in the world and we can no longer afford to pretend that it does. Please do not allow the DREAM Act to see the light of day, and oppose any other legislation that would allow backdoor amnesty for those who break the law.<\/p>\n

Respectfully,
\n[YOUR NAME]
\n[ADDRESS]
\n[CITY],[STATE] [ZIP]<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
