Letter to Senator Marco Rubio

Comment Up

Senator Marco Rubio
U.S. Senate, 317 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Rubio,

Thank you for standing with Senator Ted Cruz and the millions of Americans in opposition to President Obama’s executive amnesty.

In advance of Saturday's vote, Senator Cruz said, "If you believe President Obama's executive order was unconstitutional, vote yes." Based on his previous statements, President Obama would have voted yes in the past.

In March 2011, President Obama said, "I swore an oath to uphold the laws on the books .... Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written."

In addition to the legal problems, executive amnesty presents economic problems for American workers and their families. Currently there are 18 million Americans who want a full-time job, but cannot find one. Adding millions more people to an already fragile job market creates unnecessary pressure on the American workers trying to find a good job and support their family.

Adding millions of more workers also will continue the trend of stagnant wages. According to federal data, middle-class wages, when adjusted for inflation, are lower now than in 1979. Additionally, according to a Wall Street Journal study, the wages of those in one-third of all U.S. counties have declined since 2004.

Again, thank you for standing with Senator Cruz against President Obama's executive action. I hope you continue to fight against executive amnesty.

Respectfully,

Lynn Anderson

I am afraid that Marco is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

You seem to like both Rubio and West, both of who are big fakes who cannot be trusted.

They don't play or work with others very well, both have huge egos and talk big, do little, they don't play well with others like they should. They love to hear themselves talk.

Don't put them on pedestals, one day they will really disappoint you. All humans do.

Received this letter from President Obama today, he is doing miracles for the USA and world. He cares.





The White House, Washington


Yesterday, after more than 50 years, we began to change America's relationship with the people of Cuba.

We are recognizing the struggle and sacrifice of the Cuban people, both in the U.S. and in Cuba, and ending an outdated approach that has failed to advance U.S. interests for decades. In doing so, we will begin to normalize relations between our two countries.

I was born in 1961, just over two years after Fidel Castro took power in Cuba, and just as the U.S. severed diplomatic relations with that country.

Our complicated relationship with this nation played out over the course of my lifetime -- against the backdrop of the Cold War, with our steadfast opposition to communism in the foreground. Year after year, an ideological and economic barrier hardened between us.

That previous approach failed to promote change, and it's failed to empower or engage the Cuban people. It's time to cut loose the shackles of the past and reach for a new and better future with this country.

I want you to know exactly what our new approach will mean.

First, I have instructed Secretary of State John Kerry to immediately begin discussions with Cuba to re-establish diplomatic relations that have been severed since 1961. Going forward, we will re-establish an embassy in Havana, and high-ranking officials will once again visit Cuba.

Second, I have also instructed Secretary Kerry to review Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism -- a review guided by the facts and the law. At a time when we are focused on threats from ISIL and al Qaeda, a nation that meets our conditions and renounces terrorism should not face such a sanction.

Third, we'll take steps to increase travel, commerce, and the flow of information to -- and from -- Cuba. These steps will make it easier for Americans to travel to Cuba. They will make it easier for Americans to conduct authorized trade with Cuba, including exports of food, medicine, and medical products to Cuba. And they will facilitate increased telecommunications connections between our two countries: American businesses will be able to sell goods that enable Cubans to communicate with the United States and other countries.

Learn more about the steps we're taking to change our policy.

These changes don't constitute a reward or a concession to Cuba. We are making them because it will spur change among the people of Cuba, and that is our main objective.

Change is hard -- especially so when we carry the heavy weight of history on our shoulders.

Our country is cutting that burden loose to reach for a better future.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

Yes, you and Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and gang would drool over this letter. Way to go. He's the most dangerous man alive and ahead of George Soros and Maurice Strong. He is a very scary man and is selling our country down the river.
