The President has done something I almost cannot believe.

I am sured you heard Barack Obama has sued the state of Arizona over a law the state's own elected lawmakers passed.

Just think about it... in suing the state of Arizona over their tough immigration law, Obama is in essence using trial lawyers to coerce other elected officials into doing his own bidding.

It is Chicago style politics at its finest. If you can't get people to do what you want behind closed doors with arm twisting threaten them with a lawsuit.

Our borders are porous, illegal aliens are streaming in and yet our federal government will not do what is needed to stop it.

Instead of focusing their energies on enforcing the existing law the Obama administration is seeking to overturn another which is holding them accountable over the lack of enforcement against illegal immigration.

ACU opposes this lawsuit and we need to work together in order to stop it.

We need to send a message immediately to Congress to withhold funding from the President for this lawsuit.

We are launching a petition here to tell Congress to block all federal funding of this lawsuit against the people of Arizona and their tough immigration law. Sign it here.

Recently conservative Senators Jim DeMint and David Vitter introduced legislative language to block this lawsuit's funding.

You see the President and his departments cannot spend any funds unless those funds are first approved by Congress. Senators DeMint and Vitter are seeking to block funding for this lawsuit.

ACU supports the efforts of Senators Jim DeMint and David Vitter to block the Arizona lawsuit funding.

Now we need to urge other members of Congress to join their efforts and to put pressure on Congress to end the lawsuit's funding now.

That is why we are launching a petition here to tell Congress to block all federal funding of this lawsuit against the people of Arizona and their tough immigration law.

It is ridiculous in this time of massive budget deficits and debt that our federal government would be funding a lawsuit against its own people.

The citizens of Arizona chose their State Representatives and Senators who passed this tough immigration bill. They are citizens of our nation.

The President should not be suing his fellow citizens.

We need to be cutting federal spending not allowing taxpayer dollars to be spent on a lawsuit against the people of Arizona.

ACU is launching a petition here to tell Congress to block all federal funding of this lawsuit against the people of Arizona and their tough immigration law. Sign it here.

All the President and his Attorney General Eric Holder are trying to do is intimidate Arizona into repealing this law and other states from passing a similar one.

We need to encourage Congress to push back and withhold funding for this lawsuit.

The only way Congress will listen is if the American people rise up.

Please sign the petition here on ACU's new petition system - which allows you to share the petition on your own Facebook page if you see fit.

Don't allow Obama to sue Arizona with no consequences.
