Campaign For Liberty

*These next 48 hours are potentially the most dangerous time of the political year, as Harry Reid and his statist allies in Washington, D.C. decide whether to head home for the election or try to sneak in a last minute vote designed to take away liberty, and steal more of our money.

One Senator, South Carolina's Jim DeMint, has promised to place a hold on any legislation not agreed to by both parties. This does not guarantee Reid won’t try to force a controversial vote in the next two days, but the hold can only be overridden by scheduling a time-consuming cloture.

After the defeat of the DISCLOSE Act last week, Harry Reid and his cohorts are almost ready to tuck tail and head home, where we are waiting to hold them accountable for their votes over the past two years.

However, following the November elections, Harry Reid will pull out all the stops in a last ditch effort to pass as many bills as he can in a lame-duck session. According to a report in The Hill today, Democrats are planning to bring up as many as 20 bills in as little as six weeks! Bills such as S. 510, the FDA’s War on Food, Joseph Lieberman’s Internet Takeover Bill, Cap & Tax, and more.
