ALERT: The United States Congress must STOP Obama from arming the Syrian rebels, sponsoring Christian genocide. Blast Faxes! Support S. 1201 and H.R. 2494!
American Conservative,
Syria has been embroiled in a civil war since March, 2011 and now Obama wants the United States to intervene.
On June 14, the President said that he was prepared to arm the Syrian rebels in order to assist them in their overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad - a ruler who, Obama says, crossed a "red line" by deploying chemical weapons.
While Obama believes it is in America's interest to arm the rebel forces in Syria - the "Free Syrian Army" - this simply isn't true.
First and foremost, any action by Obama to arm any party in Syria - or anywhere - without Congressional approval is expressly prohibited by the Constitution. If the United States is to get involved in the Syrian Conflict then the People's Congress must make that decision, not the President alone.
Involvement in Syria is not just a constitutional question, though - it is a moral one, and one of common sense.
The fact is: If Obama provides arms and funds to the Free Syrian Army, he will be directly subsidizing terrorism and Christian genocide in a country nearly six-thousand miles away.
Is this how our tax dollars should be used? Never. Congress must act now!
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
Subsidizing Terrorism
The Free Syrian Army is comprised of ex-Syrian Armed Forces members and terrorists - ninety-five percent of whom are not even Syrian, according to international law professor Daoud Khairallah.
Jabhat al-Nusra, for example, a radical Salafist faction of the Free Syrian Army, originated in Iraq and is an arm of al-Qaeda.
Though al-Nusra refuses to acknowledge its true origins, the group has openly pledged allegiance to its Iraq parent, one responsible for killing Americans.
The federal government declared al-Nusra a terrorist entity in December of 2012.
Further confirming the rebels' ties with al-Qaeda, the Free Syrian Army's "Hawks of Damascus" employ a Bin-Laden Brigade in honor of their former leader.
While Sen. Bob Menendez claims that the rebels are fighting for a "Free Syria," what he fails to mention is that their goal is radical Sharia Law which directly threatens Christians, particular Muslim Sects, and seculars.
Even the New York Times recognizes the overt "religious agenda" of the rebels - the Times reported earlier this year that "nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of."
Barack Obama - along with Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Bob Menendez, and Bob Corker - wishes to directly provide "lethal assistance" to these Syrian terrorist rebels, from small arms to anti-aircraft devices. Moreover, while there are already at least 200 U.S. troops in Jordan postured to intervene in the Syrian Conflict, Obama may send an additional 20,000 U.S. soldiers.
The United States Congress must act right now and stop Obama from intervening in the Syrian Conflict - no funding or arming Syrian terrorists!
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
Subsidizing Christian Genocide
If the United States Congress doesn't act, Barack Obama will use tax dollars and American weapons to furnish the Free Syrian Army and their anti-Christian genocide.
Since the civil war began, at least 1,000 Syrian Christians have been killed by the very same people that Barack Obama and John McCain see as our "allies."
Near the city of Homs, the Free Syrian Army invaded the village of al-Duwayr and massacred a number of Christians - "where they immediately executed a man and his daughter in their
home and burned their bodies." "The fighters reportedly also occupied the village church from where snipers began firing at terrified civilians," reports BosLifeNews, "killing an- 11-year-old boy and a girl of 18, and injuring some 10 people, two seriously."
The Free Syrian Army's late-May attacks on Christian men, women, and children near Homs would have likely continued if it had not been for the intervention of the Syrian Army loyal to Bashar al Assad.
The Free Syrian Army's targeted killings has resulted in a mass exodus of Christians from Syria - as of now between 300,000 and 400,000 have fled the country.
According to a June WND report, the Syrian rebels give Christians the following options:
"1. renounce the ‘idolatry' of Christianity and convert to Islam; 2. pay a heavy tribute to the Muslims for the privilege of keeping their heads and their Christian faith (this tribute is known as jizya); 3. be killed; 4. flee for their lives, leaving all their belongings behind."
The report continues:
"Some Christians were killed, some fled, some tried to pay the jizya and found it too heavy a burden to bear after the rebels kept increasing the amount they had to pay, and some were unable to flee or pay, so they converted to Islam to save themselves."
Former Muslim Brotherhood member turned
Christian Walid Shoebat says,
"more than 40 churches and
other Christian institutions (schools, orphanages, and care homes) have
been damaged or destroyed" by the Free Syrian Army since 2011. In his report June 26 address on the House floor, Representative Chris Smith said that "entire communities are at risk of being forced out of the country or of being killed inside the country... with communities believing--not without cause--that they face an existential threat."
As Barack Obama prepares to ship American weapons to the Free Syrian Army, we must demand our elected servants in the United States Congress to stop him and pass the "Protecting Americans from the Proliferation of Weapons to Terrorists Act of 2013."
No weapons to terrorists! No weapons to Christian genocide!
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
Stopping the President
Recently a piece of legislation was introduced into the U.S. House and Senate aimed at stopping Obama from arming the Syrian rebel terrorists.
A simple three-page bill, the "Protecting Americans from the Proliferation of Weapons to Terrorists Act of 2013" - H.R. 2494 and S. 1201 - would "prohibit the President from using any funds on activities that would escalate U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war."
This bipartisan effort to keep our arms out of Syria is sponsored by Rep. Christopher Gibson (NY-19), Rep. Michele Bachmann (MN-6), Rep. Scott DesJarlais (TN-4), Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-3), Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (NE-1), Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12), Rep. Walter B. Jones, Jr. (NC-3), Rep. Richard M. Nolan (MN-8), Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-2), and Rep. Peter Welch (VT).
In the U.S. Senate, the bill has the support of Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM).
"Giving weapons to the Syrian opposition means, in all likelihood, that the United States will be arming and aiding extremist groups who seek to defeat us and our way of life," says Rep. Michele Bachman. "To make the American taxpayer pay to send arms to our enemies is madness. Rather than unilateral foreign policy decision-making from the White House, there needs to be careful debate by Congress, as is our constitutional responsibility, and a clear strategy that is in line with America's national security interests before any involvement is considered."
Sen. Mike Lee says: "Any military involvement in Syria, including the arming of Syrian rebels, needs to be authorized through Congress, where concerns can be publicly debated and the American people can have a say. We have to ensure that we are not arming extremist groups who seek to cause chaos in the region and harm the United States and our allies. The long-term objectives of increased involvement in Syria are vague, as are the necessary commitments and costs. The United States cannot be involved in more nation building in the Middle East."
"The President's unilateral decision to arm Syrian rebels is incredibly disturbing," says Sen. Rand Paul. "Engaging in yet another conflict in the Middle East with no vote or Congressional oversight compounds the severity of this situation. The American people deserve real deliberation by their elected officials before we send arms to a region rife with extremists who seek to threaten the U.S. and her allies."
As President Obama plans to ship money and expensive military equipment to the Syrian rebels without the authorization of Congress, we need to take action, rally our elected servants, and demand that they stop him.
Send faxes and demand every U.S. Representative and Senator to pass H.R. 2494 and S. 1201!
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
Not America's Conflict
George Washington famously warned against American engaging in the foreign affairs of other nations. In his farewell address, he urged us not to "entangle our peace and prosperity" with foreign nations' affairs and said to avoid all alliances except in situations of "extraordinary emergency."
Sadly, we have long forgotten Washington's maxims as our history, especially the last century, is testimony of it.
Now is the time to remember.
In regards to the Syrian Conflict, let us heed the words of Pat Buchanan:
"[W]e have no vital interest in Assad's overthrow.
We have lived with him and his father for 40 years. And what did our intervention in Libya to oust Moammar Gadhafi produce but a failed state, the Benghazi atrocity, and the spread of al-Qaida into Mali and Niger?
Why should Americans die for a Sunni triumph in Syria? At best, we might bring about a new Muslim Brotherhood regime in Damascus, as in Cairo. At worst, we could get a privileged sanctuary for that al-Qaida affiliate, the Al-Nusra Front. ...
It is not, and it should not become, America's war."
American money and arms to foreign causes thousands of miles from our shores must be put to an end... especially in situations where are aid is resulting in the mass-killings of innocent people at the hands of terrorists.
Members of the United States Congress are already postured to block Obama's aid to the Syrian rebels, but they need more support. We need to fax, call, and message our U.S. Representatives and Senators demanding that they support S. 1201 and H.R. 2494.
Take action! Demand Congress STOP Obama from providing weapons and aid to the Free Syrian Army! The President must be prevented from wrongfully and unconstitutionally spending tax dollars to support terrorists and their Christian genocide.
