Americans Need a Congress that Represents
Americans

Senator Marco Rubio poses as a representative of
Florida Republicans, but in truth he represents
the interests of Israel. He is sponsor of
legislation that punishes Americans who boycott
Israel as their way of protesting Israel’s
genocide of the Palestinian people. That Rubio
is doing his best to dismantle what little is
left of the First Amendment doesn’t seem to
bother Florida voters or the presstitute media,
who are no longer protective of the First
Amendment.
Yesterday (January 9, 2019) the legislation
failed to pass the Senate, because Democrats
blocked it. But not really. The Democrats are
not opposed to the bill. Indeed, the senators of
both parties are too well paid in campaign
contributions by the Israel Lobby to vote
against anything that Israel wants. Moreover,
they know that if they do, the money and the
media support in their next election will flow
to their opponent. The reason the Democrats
blocked the passage of the bill is that they are
making a point that no legislation will pass
until President Trump gives in on the issue of
The Wall and signs the necessary money bill to
reopen the government.
Every
18 months the US government hands over to Israel
enough money to build Trump’s wall. Israel had
no hesitation in using Americans’ money to build
its wall, which keeps Palestinians out of
Palestine. It is OK with the US Congress for
Americans to finance Israel’s construction of a
wall that keeps a people out of their own
country, but it is not OK for Trump to use
American money to keep illegal immigrants out of
the United States.
How much more plain can it be? The US Congress
represents Israel, not Americans. The US
Congress will even destroy the US Constitution
for Israel. And the United States is called a
democracy?

Colleagues Need a Refresher on the First
Amendment:
This week, amid a partial government shutdown,
senators tried to sneak through a bill that
would encourage states to suppress
constitutionally protected political boycotts of
Israel.
