immigration reform until they have answered some real fundamental questions about some issues they have not been very responsible with, like the irs, like benghazi, like obamacare, like nsa. let s see a little bit of competence on something before we even begin to talk about giving them something as big and wide as immigration reform. governor there was word out that a group of g.o.p. a group from the g.o.p. was floating the idea of allow something amnesty for some illegal children. is this amistake? it s a different thing if you re talking about amnesty for children. you have to define it. if you re asking whether or not kids of illegal parents are able to access, let s say, college scholarship, i think that is not an amnesty issue. that s a bigger question. do you punish children for something their parents did? and most americans would say, no, anymore you would give a
right now. are you networking with other tea party groups across the country or is yours just localized to richmond? no, we are. the events we have coming up within the next week, we are working with a tea party group from maryland. we are working with the national tea party patriots this next week and three other conservative organizations. we are coalition building with other tea party groups here in virginia. the following week, we are with another conservative group to try to oppose obama care, which is a train wreck no american wants. believe me. we are going to touch on the amnesty issue and set up a town hall and include every tea party in congressman cantor s district to come to that. right now, he has not communicated that he is going to have a town hall. if he doesn t want to come, we might have one with an empty chair anyway. larry, give us a handful.
there are many things we have planned to do and we are definitely not on vacation. we are working extremely hard right now. are you networking with other tea party groups across the country or is yours just localized to richmond? no, we are. the events we have coming up within the next week, we are working with a tea party group from maryland. we are working with the national tea party patriots this next week and three other conservative organizations. we are coalition building with other tea party groups here in virginia. the following weaek, we are wit another conservative group to try to oppose obama care, which is a train wreck no american works. we are going to touch on the amnesty issue and set up a town hall and include every tea party in congressman cantor s district to come to that. right now, he has not communicated that he is going to have a town hall. if he doesn t want to come, we might have one with an empty chair anyway.
