Meet Senator Daniel Webster ******
Mr. Webster like so many of his fellow Republicans seems to be apart of the repeal replace and eliminate social services like Tchers,Police,Firefighters group if they gain control of Congress …below is from his official website …
Sanctity of Life
- As affirmed in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life is our first right. Daniel Webster would support legislation that the Constitutional protections of life and liberty extend to the unborn.
- Dan would oppose any use of public revenues to promote or perform abortions or to support organizations that promote or perform abortions.
Immigration
- The greatness of America is based on the American dream– liberty and opportunity, a dream that is made possible by the laws of the land. Condoning illegal immigration through amnesty or allowing it through passive enforcement destroys the very values that attract immigrants to our nation.
- Fixing illegal immigration starts by securing our borders and strengthening existing penalties for people entering the country illegally. The federal government must remove incentives for illegal immigrants and strengthen penalties for employers who hire them.
- While immigration is a best treated as a federal issue, Daniel Webster supports the right of states like Arizona to enact such laws as necessary to protect their state.
Second Amendment
- Endorsed by the NRA with a lifetime A+ rating.
- Daniel Webster believes in the individual, Constitutional right to keep and bear arms and will strongly oppose any attempt to curtail, tax, or impede the free and robust exercise of that right.

On Tuesday, the Senate had the opportunity to move forward on the DREAM Act as part of the defense authorization bill. Instead, Senate Republicans blocked the debate from even starting. Not a single Republican senator was willing to stand up for the DREAM Act. You worked hard to get us to this point. You’ve sent tens of thousands of faxes to your senators on the DREAM Act. This week alone, you’ve made over 43,000 calls into Congress to tell them to support the DREAM Act as a step towards comprehensive immigration reform. Your power got us to this point. This fight isn’t over, and it’s thanks to you that we’ve gotten this far. Now we know who’s standing with us – and more importantly, we know who’s standing against us. The senators who stood in the way of the DREAM Act and immigration reform this week have shown that they’re not willing to work with us. It’s time for us to show them where we’ll be standing this Election Day. Make your voice heard on Election Day. It’s important that everyone who can vote shows up to the polls on November 2nd. It’s the best way for us to show the politicians and bureaucrats the power of our movement. Some of them recognize our power and have stood up for what’s right. And some have decided they want to ignore us. This Election Day, we must show them all what we’re capable of by turning out to vote in record numbers. Only when they see us voting will they hear our voices. Click here to make sure you’re ready to vote on November 2nd. Thank you,

The first vote on the DREAM Act is TOMORROW

Tomorrow, the Senate will decide whether or not the DREAM Act will move forward. President Obama said that it’s time for Congress to act and he supports the legislation[1] . This is the most critical moment in the fight for comprehensive immigration reform to this point. Passing the DREAM Act this week will be a sign that Congress is serious about fixing our broken system once and for all. And we need to do everything we can to make sure that happens. You have already sent a fax to your Senators, asking them to support the DREAM Act, but now, they need to hear from you personally! Click here to call Congress and say YES to DREAMs. As you read this, our opposition is flooding Congress with calls in their attempt to block any legislation that might benefit immigrants. We have to be sure that our voices are louder than theirs. We have to be sure that Congress hears from those of us who stand on the side of justice for ALL. The DREAM Act will allow students who are undocumented to attend college or join the military. That’s why it’s an amendment to the defense reauthorization bill – giving young people the chance to serve. But there are still senators who need to hear from us. Click here to call the Senate to pass the DREAM Act as a step toward comprehensive reform. We’re closer than ever to getting the comprehensive reform we need, but it won’t happen without doing everything we can. Thank you, P.S. – And don’t forget to have your friends call in to Congress (English: 866-996-5161 or Spanish: 866-961-4293) to demand reform, tweet it, and share it on Facebook! We need to make sure every Senator hears from us before tomorrow’s vote! [1]Remarks of President Obama at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Dinner
