State of the Union Reaction:
For Immediate Release – January 28, 2014
Repeal of Obamacare, Immigration Enforcement Key to Raising Incomes
(AUGUSTA, GA) - The very President responsible for driving down family incomes and employment to the lowest levels in decades tonight called for more of the same toxic big-government action, according to John Stone, Republican front-runner in the race to replace incumbent Democrat John Barrow in Georgia’s hotly contested 12th Congressional District.
“Obamacare is forcing the lay-off of masses of low-wage workers, the loss of health benefits for millions more, while those remaining face effective paycheck cuts of $2-3 an hour from health premium hikes. It is incredible that instead of agreeing to repeal and replace this paycheck killer, the President and Congressman John Barrow are calling for even more federal intervention in the economy,” says Stone. Barrow has voted over 30 times to block repeal or defunding of Obamacare.
“Yes, the minimum wage is too low after failing to keep up with inflation for over 20 years,” Stone says. “But to start hiking it to $10.10 an hour in the middle of the Obamacare low-income job destruction will throw thousands more folks out of work entirely.”
Stone also blasted the President’s amnesty call for illegal aliens, and blamed Obama’s refusal to enforce current immigration law for suppressing wages further for American workers. “This Administration is officially allowing illegal immigrants to steal the very entry-level jobs the President tonight says he is trying to protect. By his illegal and unconstitutional ‘prosecutorial discretion’ decision to ignore current law, bypass Congress, and grant legal status to millions of illegal workers, he is undermining legitimate free-market wage growth driven by demand that would have occurred in the absence of the tidal wave of illegal immigration.”
Stone also applauded House Republican Leaders for looking into legal action to block Obama’s announced plans to continue bypassing Congress through executive orders, in violation of Constitutional requirements. “I believe this President has crossed the line into illegal actions, and if so, Congress should exhaust every legal means to overturn and correct these violations.”

PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO ELECT JOHN STONE
Amnesty Treachery – Top Amnesty Staffer Added to House Leadership Team
December 5, 2013
Dear Fellow TRUE CONSERVATIVE:
Speaker John Boehner just hired one of the prime amnesty-pushing political gurus in the country. As Erick Erikson reports in
Red State this morning, Boehner hired John McCain’s former Chief of Staff, the same Rebecca Tallent who helped McCain and Ted Kennedy push their original amnesty plan under the Bush Administration.
“Boehner will wait until 2014, after qualifying for all the serious challenges to incumbents is over. … .The threat of primary challenges well passed, they’ll get their amnesty deal done. … .If conservatives do not find credible, quality challengers ASAP, we’ll see amnesty steam roll through once the threat of the primaries is passed.”
Make no mistake, the Republican establishment in Washington and on Wall Street is planning to help Democrats and Obama pass amnesty. They don’t want you to know about this until after the House primaries are over, so squish House Members can vote with impunity to pass amnesty.
If we are to have a chance at stopping this, we must elect anti-amnesty, pro-U.S. sovereignty Republican House primary candidates nationwide in this spring’s elections, to re-instill fear of the voters in those House members who would throw us under the bus next year.
This is why I am running in Georgia’s 12th Congressional District race against an establishment favorite primary challenger – the precise type of new member who would be a rubber stamp for the GOP amnesty crowd once in office.

My biggest challenge in winning this race is the same facing all of our TRUE CONSERVATIVE, anti-amnesty candidates nationwide – money. The establishment pours millions into the races for their candidates, while we must rely on grass-roots support of patriots like you.
And a deadline for that support is fast approaching – December 31. That is the date we are required to report our funds to the Federal Election Commission, and the amount we show will determine momentum in this race as we head to our early voting kickoff date of April 29 here in Georgia. We will not raise as much as our establishment opponent, but we don’t have to because we’re not spending on expensive consultants and heavy staffing. But we must raise enough to run our well-planned media program this spring that we know will bring us the victory in this race.
Thanks to the support of TRUE CONSERVATIVES like you, at the last FEC report we were almost neck-and-neck with our opponent in cash-on-hand. The funds we raise by December 31 will determine whether we maintain that competitive stance or fall behind the landslide of big donations the establishment is pouring into this race.
Many of you have already contributed to this campaign, for which I am deeply grateful. If you can do so again right now, please do.
If you would like to talk to me personally before making that donation, call Megan Seda in our Augusta office and she will line up that conversation immediately at (912) 335-3139.
If you want to block the amnesty stampede that could ruin this country forever, I MUST have financial support from supporters of true immigration reform to compete in this race RIGHT NOW.
Please send everything you can THIS week, either by mail to John Stone for Congress at 2803 Wrightsboro Road, Suite 15-351, Augusta, GA 30909, or donate now online at
www.johnstoneforcongress.com/donations.
America desperately needs a new batch of TRUE CONSERVATIVE House members to head off the finale on this debate which will likely occur in 2015 after the 2014 elections - IF we hold the pro-amnesty crowd in check through the upcoming primaries. The result of those elections will be the cue whether America will continue to be a sovereign nation with secure borders.
If I am going to be part of the House that casts those key votes for our nation, I need your help right now. Please send as much as you can now, whether $25, $50, $100, $250, or $1,000. Don't wait till later, as what we raise early will determine the course of this election. The maximum donation allowed by the Federal Election Commission per person per election this year is $2,600.
Thank you in advance for your support, and may God Bless you, your family and our great nation.
John E. Stone
Republican Candidate
U.S. House of Representatives
12th Congressional District of Georgia
