FYI for anyone not on Rand's email list
I need your help to hold President Obama accountable.
In a few hours, the Senate will vote on my amendment to halt $1.5 billion in taxpayer money President Obama wants to shuffle off to the military junta in Egypt.
This vote is URGENT and I hope I can count on your help today by contacting your senators at 202-224-3121 and urging them to vote "Yes" on my amendment to stop President Obama from sending $1.5 billion in taxpayer money to the military junta in Egypt.
You see, American law is very clear.
No assistance can be sent to countries where the military has staged a coup or played a decisive role in a coup.
And on July 3, the Egyptian military staged a coup that tossed President Morsi out of office.
There are no waivers allowed. No delays in enforcing the law.
But as you and I have seen on other occasions, President Obama just doesn't care about the rule of law.
He's trying to claim the law doesn't force him to label what happened in Egypt a military coup so he still has the authority to send taxpayer dollars to Egypt.
So if he doesn't want to obey the law, it's up to you and me to force him.
That's why I hope I can count on you to call your senators IMMEDIATELY at 202-224-3121 and demand they vote in favor of my amendment to strip Egypt of all taxpayer money in accordance with U.S. law.
President Obama isn't a king.
He doesn't get to pick and choose which laws he wants to enforce.
Not one cent of your money should go to countries where they burn our flag or the military stages a coup.
So please, contact your senators right away at 202-224-3121 and demand they vote "Yes" on my amendment to force President Obama to obey the law and stop sending your money to Egypt's military.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
