CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE AMADOR CALLS FOR TOUGHER LEGISLATION ON AMERICAN SYMPATHIZERS

STOCK, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stockton— Antonio C. 'Tony' Amador, a challenger in the race for California’s 9th District Congressional seat, said Friday that if he was elected to Congress, one of the first pieces of legislation he would introduce would be to revoke the passports of American citizens assisting terrorist organizations such as ISIS.

“Where is the leadership from our Congressman Jerry McNerney?” asked Amador. “Why hasn’t McNerney called President Obama and urged him to confiscate the passports of Americans who willingly and intentionally want to assist ISIS?”

Amador, a former U.S. Marshal who has experience rounding up fugitives, said FBI Director James Comey recently testified that about a dozen Americans have joined ISIS, and could not explain why the bureau hasn’t apprehended the individuals.

“Stopping these Islamic terrorists before more Americans are influenced by ISIS propaganda should be considered a top priority,” Amador warned. “The evidence reveals that more than 130 Canadian citizens are fighting for ISIS and nearly 500 British citizens are in ISIS organizations. Canada has already confiscated passports from its citizens who are considered betraying their country by fighting for ISIS. Why can’t the Obama Administration and people like Jerry McNerney understand the danger that this presents to our nation?”

“If the FBI can track these ISIS supporters, then it can revoke their passports. Aiding and abetting ISIS should be a crime,” Amador said and promised when elected to make that his first piece of legislation.

Amador said Congress should review the laws for treason, and impose sentences of 25-years to life for any American convicted of assisting ISIS.

“It’s treason. How else do you describe the actions of someone who willingly and intentionally assists an international terrorist group that has made it known it wants to plant a flag over the White House?” Amador said. “These individuals at a minimum need to have their passports confiscated and given time to think about their loyalties.”

The recent attack by a man with an ax (hatchet) in New York was described by Police Commissioner William Bratton as an act of terrorism, which is fairly significant considering even worse attacks have occurred at places such as Fort Hood. Obama refused to label the massacre in 2009 an act of terrorism. Other recent ‘lone wolf’ attacks have taken place in Canada and in Oklahoma City. All of these attacks were performed by “self-radicalized” individuals after being influenced by ISIS propaganda over the internet and through social media.

Amador said, “Congressman Jerry McNerney represents a segment of our society that can no longer identify the enemy. They would rather have the IRS go after conservative organizations than revoke passports and apprehend people who want to help a terrorist.”

“We have real threats happening in this country daily. We need strong leadership to combat it,” Amador said.
