>House Freedom Caucus To President Trump: "Reject This Omnibus"
The House Freedom Caucus in its letter to the White House:
"The American people elected us not to buckle, but to deliver. We as the House Freedom Caucus exist to “give a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them. We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans.” Each of those principles—fiscal responsibility, Constitutionalism and candor—demand a no vote on the omnibus."
The House conservatives then said, “We urge you to remember the countless forgotten men and women of America who placed their faith in you to change business as usual in Washington, DC.”
The Freedom Caucus concluded, “We urge you to join us and reject this omnibus.”

>The Freedom Caucus wrote to President Trump:
"The funding proposal drafted by House and Senate leadership not only forgets the promises we made to the voters—it outright rejects them.
Below are a few of our specific policy concerns:
• This bill does not provide adequate funding for border security. $1.5 billion will be minimally effective in delivering not just our promise, but your promise, to build a wall and keep our country secure. Sanctuary cities also continue to receive federal funds.
• The bill includes the “Fix NICS” proposal, which provides a pathway for unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to revoke, without due process, the rights of American citizens to keep and bear arms.
• The bill fully funds grants that will go to Planned Parenthood.
• The bill does nothing to further our promise to provide Americans relief from Obamacare. We must continue to reduce burdensome regulations in the healthcare marketplace, return to free market principles, and empower consumers. This bill fails on all three fronts."

>House Freedom Caucus Rep Scott Perry: You Couldn’t Have Read the Omnibus Before the House Voted on it
"[W]e get the bill, 2,232 pages last night at 8:30. … But you could have stayed up all night anyhow, into right now, and read the bill, and you still wouldn’t be done. So, it — look, it’s not good when the other side does it, and it’s not good when this side does it. We want to know what we’re voting on.”

>Omnibus Bill Includes Specific Clause Barring Funding for Donald Trump ‘Wall’
The 2,232 page Omnibus bill includes a specific clause barring funding for a wall on the southern border that mirrors the new prototypes already there.
The bill reads:
The amounts designated in subsection (a)(2) through (a)(4) shall only be available for operationally effective designs deployed as of the date of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, (Public Law 115–31), such as currently deployed steel bollard designs, that prioritize agent safety.
The clause allows Democrats to say that the bill does not fund Trump’s wall, and allows Republicans claiming that border security funding includes funding for a “wall system.” Speaker Paul Ryan’s office issued talking points praising the funding for “95 miles of border wall system.”
The funding will be primarily used for border fencing and “bollard” fencing.
Here is a list of what the omnibus bill plans to spend on the following border security projects:
$251,000,000 for approximately 14 miles of secondary fencing, all of which provides for cross- barrier visual situational awareness, on the southwest border in the San Diego Sector.
$445,000,000 for 25 miles of primary pedestrian levee fencing along the southwest border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
$196,000,000 for primary pedestrian fencing along the southwest border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
$445,000,000 for replacement of existing primary pedestrian fencing along the southwest border.
The bill also includes $196,000,000 for deployment of border security technology and $38,000,000 for border barrier planning and design.

>GOP Leaders Expand H-2B Visa-Worker Program In Omnibus
"The GOP’s business-first leadership has expanded the H-2B visa-worker program, so reducing marketplace pressure on companies to offer higher wages to Americans just months before the November election.
The pre-election giveaway is buried on page 1760 of the 2232-page 2018 omnibus bill, where language allows the Department of Homeland Security to greatly expand the size of the H-2B visa-worker program up to roughly 100,000 imported workers:
SEC. 205. Notwithstanding the [66,000] numerical limitation set forth in section 214(g)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(g)(1)(B)), the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with the Secretary of Labor, and upon the determination that the needs of American businesses cannot be satisfied in fiscal year 2018 with United States workers who are willing, qualified, and able to perform temporary nonagricultural labor, may increase the total number of aliens who may receive a visa under section 101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b)) in such fiscal year above such limitation by not more than the highest number of H–2B nonimmigrants who participated in the H–2B returning worker program in any fiscal year in which returning workers were exempt from such numerical limitation.
The jargon gives the green light to Senators and Representatives to pressure DHS leaders to hand out more H-2B visas to the politicians’ local employers."

>Freedom Caucus Opposes $1.3 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill: ‘This Is an Insult to American Taxpayers’
"The policy proposals outlined in this $1.3 trillion spending bill are not consistent with what we told the American people we would do when they sent us to Washington. Many of the policies in the bill are in fact the opposite of what we promised. This bill barely provides for border security, yet continues to allow federal dollars to flow to sanctuary cities. It includes the ‘Fix NICS’ proposal, without including reciprocity for Americans with concealed carry licenses—something congressional leadership promised would not happen. It also fully funds grants that go to Planned Parenthood while making no changes to reduce Obamacare’s burdensome regulations on America’s families.
And on top of the massive price tag, leadership is forcing a vote on this 2,232-page bill in under 36 hours, far from an adequate amount of time to read and analyze it. This is an insult to America’s taxpayers, as well as their many rank-and-file representatives who had no say in the omnibus negotiations."

>U.S. House passes $1.3 trillion omnibus bill that keeps funding Planned Parenthood
"The House of Representatives passed a $1.3 trillion spending bill to finance the federal government through the 2018 fiscal year, leaving Planned Parenthood’s annual subsidies untouched in the process.
The legislation has earned disapproval from many Republicans for its priorities, among them the fact that it continues the more than $500 million in taxpayer dollars Planned Parenthood receives each year.
The omnibus does retain existing language forbidding funds from being used on abortions (except in cases of rape, incest, or medical emergencies). However, pro-lifers have long noted that taxpayers' money Planned Parenthood receives for other purposes still indirectly aids the abortion business, by freeing more revenue from other sources to be spent on abortions.
Several pro-life members of Congress have voiced their disgust with the bill.
Congressional Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, and member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-NC, also cited Planned Parenthood’s funding among their problems with the omnibus.
“I think it's not good for the American taxpayer, not consistent, anywhere close to consistent, to what we said we would do when they elected us in 2016,” Jordan said yesterday.
The Freedom Caucus, a collection of the House’s more conservative lawmakers, sent a letter Wednesday to President Donald Trump, urging him to veto the omnibus on behalf of the “countless forgotten men and women of America who placed their faith in you to change business as usual in Washington, D.C.”
However, while Trump pledged on the campaign trail to defund the abortion giant, and has proposed budgets that would have done so, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has confirmed he will sign the omnibus."

>Jim Jordan on Omnibus Spending Bill: ‘I Hope the White House’ Vetoes It
"Jordan said, “Planned Parenthood, Gateway Bridge, Planned Parenthood, trillion dollar deficit, and no wall.”
Congressman Jordan added, “I’m voting against it, I think everyone here is voting against it. I hope the White House does veto it.”
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC), explained how the omnibus spending serves as a victory for Democrats. The omnibus spending bill will reportedly include funding for the New York Gateway Bridge project that will benefit Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Meadows said:
At best a $1.6 billion initiative for border security which means that there’s no real wall border. Still money for the tunnel for New Jersey and New York.
We get a tunnel and we don’t get a wall. The last time I checked the president did not campaign on a tunnel. When they go to the Democrats for the majority of the votes, it’s not encouraging.
Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) charged that conservatives did not campaign for bailing out Obamacare and amnesty for illegal aliens.
Davidson said, “Are we going to change the status quo? We have to change the terms and conditions that we’re spending money on. Based on the rumors it goes the exact wrong way. No one campaigned on gun control, no one called for a lifeline for Obamacare.”
“No one campaigned for amnesty,” Davidson added.
Chairman Meadows then revealed that there are a number of House Republicans “outside of the freedom caucus that are becoming frustrated with the process.”
Meadows suggested that it will be “incumbent of a majority of [GOP] majority” to change the process.
The House Freedom Caucus Chairman then suggested that Congress should pass another CR “as we deal with the omni in a more deliberate fashion.”

>Laura Ingraham: Americans Didn’t Elect Trump or GOP Majority to ‘Fill the Swamp’ with Omnibus Spending Bill
"President Donald Trump should “challenge the GOP leadership” in Congress to rethink its $1.3 trillion “business-as-usual spend-o-rama” omnibus spending bill, Fox News host Laura Ingraham said on “The Ingraham Angle” Wednesday night.
“It’s a business-as-usual spend-o-rama at a time when voters expected just the opposite from a president who campaigned against the corruptocrats in D.C.,” Ingraham said. “Now if I were advising the president, I would tell him, ‘Take this as an opportunity tonight to challenge the GOP leadership.'”

Tbqh planned parenthood does virtually nothing but supply 14 year old girls with birth control drugs and abortions.
Call them and tell them you're a 35 yo woman and have no money for a pap smear and describe female cancer symptoms.
They will tell you to kick rocks, poor fag.
This should end.
