The Virtual Fence doesn't work so congress wants to expand it--Action Needed on July 9 and 10!!!

I wanted to be sure all saw this communication from Steve and I hope all will take action.  Those diehards in DC just don't get it and insist on backing measures that waste money and don't work!!

 

I'm shocked, but certainly not surprised to learn that the virtual
fence--essentially the same one that proved to be a colossal
failure last summer, is making a return engagement to our Southern border!

The Arizona Daily Star is reporting that Boeing will construct
57 "virtual" towers in the coming months. But most ironic--each
of these towers will be protected by a fence 80x80 feet, with
12 foot wide access roads near each tower!

nancy, this latest example underscores the fact that DHS
has no intention of building the double-layered fence that was
promised us and signed into law--a fence that has been proven
to be highly effective at stopping the flow of illegal traffic!

Instead, our government continues pouring taxpayer billions
into failed technology that one retired border agent says
would be "better spent on steel fences and additional agents."

It's obvious to me that Washington is ignoring, misleading and even
lying to us about the border fence...

It's time for citizens to send Washington a message!

As I told our Communications Director, Ron De Jong, This is
our last, best effort to get the border fence built as promised.
I'm counting on friends like you to phone and fax beginning

Nancy, the reason the DC diehards don't get it is because they don't want to get it.

Their pals get the contracts, the things don't work.....no problem, we'll give you more money to make some more things that don't work.

That's how DC works. They have taken dysfunctional to the highest level and perfected it beyond anyone's wildest nightmares. And of course we all have the dubious privilege of paying for all of this criminally insane behavior.

johannah--OR we have the responsibility to raise enough he__ so that the great leaders lose their nerve and in the final moment vote against it.  If we don't respond against this loud and clear then they will say we are for it.  I am so tired of that game.  It would be much easier if congress had our interests at heart-need to throw the bums out. 

I agree completely, Nancy. If my my post inferred otherwise I apologize. And I do raise hell, usually 5 days a week, frequently all day. I do feel we can make a difference and that's why I spend my retired time fighting the DC, state and local politicians who are not adhering to the constitution.

And you do a fantastic job by dissiminating the info that gives a lot of us the ammunition we neeed to wage the war on the  idiot politicians, many of whom are corrupt, corrupt, corrupt!

Since retiring, I do believe my new career is he__  raising.  johannah, glad to hear you do the same!!   Since I have the time,  I'm glad to share any info that I think will keep myself and FS people informed--I do believe all you guys know something about EVERYTHING.  Thanks!
