Should ILLEGAL aliens be entitled to receive Social Security benefits?  According to the Debbie Stabenow, the answer is "YES!"

"ILLEGALS GRANTED SOCIAL SECURITY"...Stabenow casts deciding vote!?!

That was a front-page headline in Friday's Washington Times.  According to Times reporter Charlie Hurt, "The Senate voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment -- even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents."

This is what happened...

As the Senate continued to debate immigration reform legislation this week, Senator John Ensign offered an amendment that would have prevented illegal aliens who engaged in unlawful activity within the Social Security system from receiving benefits.   Senator Debbie Stabenow cast the deciding  vote which effectively DEFEATED the Ensign amendment by a vote of 50-49 !

After the vote, Senator Ensign stated: "There was a felony they were committing, and now they can't be prosecuted. That sounds like amnesty to me... It just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment."

He's right!

The American people overwhelmingly want secure borders first!

Victory Center Update:  due to the great cooperation and help we have received across the state, I'm happy to announce that 25 of our Victory Centers will be up and operational by May 29th.  Many counties have already started recruiting volunteers, setting up local schedules to man the phone banks and have grassroots volunteers ready to go.  This will be the "heart" of our voter identification and ultimately GOTV get out the vote efforts statewide.  We need all the help we can get...there will be something to do every day and evening of the week.  Please consider helping a few hours every week if you can.  Thanks again, for all you do as we prepare to win in November!!!
