Urge Congress to build the wall now!
President Trump needs your help. Tell Congress to build the wall or shut the government down!
President Donald Trump has declared the southern border a national security threat, and needs your help to pressure Congress to build the wall now!
On Jan. 27, 2017, House Speaker Paul Ryan told the American people that, "This is something, [the wall], we want to get on right away. And so we do believe this is urgent. We believe this is one of the most important promises the President made running for office. It's a promise he's going to keep and it's a promise we're going to help him keep."
Ryan added, “We anticipate a supplemental coming from the administration on defense and the border” and “I’m hoping in the first quarter we can get this done. But again, it’s getting [Mick Mulvaney confirmed as Office of Management and Budget Director and] up and running so they can send us the supplemental.”
Mulvaney was confirmed on Feb. 16 and the supplemental request was proposed on March 14 by Mulvaney and then formally put in on March 16 by President Trump to Speaker Ryan. Trump kept his side of the bargain. But somehow, by March 30, Ryan had changed his tune, telling CBS News, “The big chunk of money for the wall really is… next fiscal year’s appropriations because they literally can’t start construction even this quickly.”
The wall was not funded in the September spending bill either. Then, Ryan called a government shutdown “not necessary” when in fact it may be the only way to get the wall built. He and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised $12 billion to $15 billion for the wall a year ago. Now, all they've got done is the President's $1.6 billion supplemental he asked for last year.
Finally, the House just passed $5.7 billion for the wall on Dec. 20, and the Senate the needs to act. This is the last chance to get it done and fully fund the wall while Republicans still control Congress with Nancy Pelosi taking over the House in January.
The goal posts have already been moved four times. Time's up. Congress has to keep its word and build the wall!
You know what to do! Let’s urge Congress to build the southern border wall just like they promised.
The GOP Congress needs to keep Trump’s promise on the wall before Nancy Pelosi takes over the House!
Whatever it takes, the GOP Congress must get that wall built. If Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer want to partially shut down the government rather than provide funds to secure the border, President Trump and the Republicans should let them. Securing our nation's borders is worth fighting for and this is the moment in the Trump presidency that will define it. Contact your Congressman and Senators today, tomorrow and every day it takes until the wall is funded.

Dear U.S. Senators and U.S. Representative and the President:
President Donald Trump ran on building the southern border wall, and the Republican Congress needs to fund it in the 2019 spending bill this December.

I thought Mexico was going to pay for it. Not US taxpayers.
In confidence games, this is called "Bait and switch." Speaking of confidence games, did you know that ALG weren't Republicans at all until 2007? They switched when they were caught running stealth campaigns with dark money from coast to coast. They thought "If we're Republicans" we'll be automatically defended by all the usual GOP outlets." They were right. It worked.
You could look it up.

Maybe you have heard of a "deplorable" by the name of Larry the Cable Guy. Well...he has a saying --- "Git 'Er Done!". Build the wall and make America safe again! Legal immigration only! Illegal immigration is...well "illegal"! Tired of the drugs flowing into this county like wine! Tired of the gangs, the crimes being committed, and Americans being killed. Time to get to work in DC, and earn your paycheck...instead of doing nothing!!! 100% BEHIND PRESIDENT TRUMP!!

I served this great country and come from a long line of veterans who signed that blank check to ensure this country stays safe. We need this wall for the future of us and our grandchildren. If we don't get this wall, our freedom and life as we know will cease to exist.

We the People have made our wishes clear to local, state and federal governments, once in the 2010 midterm elections and again in the 2016 presidential election! After 2010, we were told you heard us "loud and clear" only to go back to the same open, unsecured border and more innocent US citizens have been killed, injured, robbed, cheated, had their identities stolen, etc.
No more lies, no more games, no more political jockeying! You WILL bend to the will of the people, you WILL build the wall and secure our sovereignty or you'll find out just how unpredictable and angry we can be!
