No Lame Duck

Jim -

The Left are planning to subvert the will of the American people. You have the power to stop them.

Leading Congressional Democrats are dead set on passing controversial and unpopular legislation in a special Lame Duck session of Congress after the November 2nd Election. It's the only way Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi can succeed in advancing their unpopular agenda because they know they don't have the support of the American people. Some will say we're just trying to scare people, but look at what they're saying:

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV): "We're going to have to have a lame duck session, so we're not giving up."

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA): 'A lot of things can happen in a lame-duck session, too."

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA): "I have to tell you, [cap and trade] is not dead...if it is after the election, it may well be that some members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something."

We know the Left are already planning dirty tricks. We saw it during debate of health care reform. We know they are willing to ignore the will of the people. They ignored the town hall meetings and the clear signal the voters of Massachusetts sent by electing Scott Brown and passed the health care bill anyway. And, just this week, 71% of Missourians rejected ObamaCare through a statewide voter referendum.

Given the Left's track record during this current session of Congress, the American people have the right to know where their elected representatives stand.

At American Solutions, we've developed the No Lame Duck Pledge, and we're trying to get as many citizens as possible to sign our letter urging members of Congress to pledge the following:

I, undersigned Member of the 111th Congress, pledge to the citizens of the State of ___________ I will not participate in a Lame Duck session of Congress. I believe reconvening the Congress after the November 2nd election and prior to the seating of the new 112th Congress, smacks of the worst kind of political corruption. Attempting to pass unpopular legislation subverts the will of the American people and is an abusive power grab.

I've signed the letter, and was hoping you'd sign your name as well so we can send it to your members of Congress. You can do that now by going here.

We believe this pledge will help stop the Left's machine from passing the unfinished and unpopular items on their agenda.

Your friend,
Newt Signature
