An Urgent Message from Senator Rand Paul

1/10/2013

0 Comments

 


By: Senator Rand Paul

Picture
The new Congress convenes on January 22. 

And...Harry Reid is scheming to shut up and silence all opposition by using the "nuclear option" to destroy the the Senate filibuster. 

Should Senator Reid succeed, he'll be able to RAM Barack Obama's entire radical agenda into law. 

And according to inside counts - he's only a few votes shy of pulling off this massive power grab. You and I MUST stop him. 

You see, current Senate rules require 67 votes - a two-thirds majority - to shut down debate and change the rules. 

And it was designed this way for a reason. 

The Senate was intended to be a place where legislation was slowed down. 

It was supposed to be the place where amendments were offered, debate was encouraged, and all participated in a process that led to better laws. 

But like a bully on the playground, Senator Reid doesn't give a flip about the rules. 

And he believes he has the authority to flat-out ignore the Senate's parliamentary procedures, long-standing traditions and specific rules in his mad rush for more power. 

In short, Senator Reid wants the Majority Party to have the unchecked ability to pass legislation with virtually little to no opposition. 

Massive tax hikes. Out-of-control spending. Gun control. Big Labor power grabs. More attacks on our God-given liberties. 

We're talking Harry Reid and Barack Obama having the power to pass anything they can dream up. 

Just the thought of it sends shivers down my spine. 

That's why it's vital you sign your "Stop the Power Grab" Fax Bomb IMMEDIATELY. 

Of course, Harry Reid isn't stupid - he knows exactly what he's doing. He knows he's breaking Senate rules if he uses the "nuclear option." 

In fact, back in 2005 Senator Reid correctly argued, "For people to suggest that you can break the rules to change the rules is Un-American." 

The truth is, Senator Reid just doesn't care. 

And he's willing to destroy the unique characteristics of the Senate simply to get his way.
