Tonight,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will again meet behind closed doors
with Democrat Senators to discuss violating the Senate’s own rules in an
attempt to end the rights of the minority party to filibuster. If he
is successful, it will make Barack Obama’s leftist agenda virtually
unstoppable.
The
rule change will all but silence the minority Republican members, who
are the only obstacle to the Senate rubber-stamping Obama’s radical
nominees like Thomas Perez, the worst imaginable nominee to become
Secretary of Labor.
When
the shoe was on the other foot and Reid was Minority Leader, he
intensely attacked the use of the “nuclear option,” denigrating it as
being, “un-American, illegal, and a complete abuse of power.”
This is breathtaking hypocrisy and outright tyranny, plain and simple! Please see my very important message below – and an urgent call to action today – Mat.

Conservatives,
Harry
Reid is meeting in secret with his Democrat cohorts to force a set of
procedural changes in the Senate that will break the body’s longstanding
policy on “Rule Changes” in a scurrilous attempt to alter the venerable
Rule 22 of the United States Senate.
Rule
22 guarantees every senator the right to speak on an issue, thus
allowing a filibuster when needed. The filibuster is one of the most
important vehicles a minority party uses to oppose and stop unwanted
legislation or extremist nominees like Thomas Perez.
Our
nation’s Founders believed that the Senate was to be a deliberative
body, which is why the rule was set in place to allow any member of
Congress to speak on any issue.
Right
now, Senate rules call for 60 votes to end debate. If Reid invokes what
is called the “nuclear option,” a parliamentary loop hole, a simple
partisan majority (51 votes) could end debate.
If
this happens, it will all but assure Democrat majority confirmation of
every one President Obama’s cabinet and court nominees, no matter how
radical or unqualified!
With a Democrat majority in place, the “nuclear option” gives their partisan majority a virtual lock on the Senate.
++Obama wants to stack the courts with yet more judicial activists and his Cabinet with socialist radicals like Thomas Perez.
Thomas
E. Perez is Barack Obama’s overt socialist pawn and nominee to become
Secretary of Labor, an agency also charged with the enforcement of
ObamaCare. Liberty Counsel Action has been one of the key players
pushing to deny the Perez confirmation.
So
far, the Republican minority has been able to withstand the pressure to
get Perez’ confirmation on the Senate floor and through the process.
But if Reid goes “nuclear,” the floodgates will be open!
And there will be no way to shut them short of extreme actions like Republican “walk-outs” and other shut-down responses.
++This is yet another Obama-driven constitutional crisis!
Of
course, our federal judiciary is also dramatically changing under
Obama. As you may know, two of the Judges ruling against our ObamaCare
case at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals were Obama appointees. Now,
the President realizes his most lasting leftist legacy would be to
“pack the courts” with socialists and judicial activists.
The
Senate is the venue for judicial nominees, and the ability to withstand
this unimaginably disastrous scenario is teetering on the brink at this
very hour!
++Harry Reid’s tyranny must be stopped.
Liberty
Counsel Action is calling all patriots to rise up and stop Harry Reid’s
dismissal of the longstanding rules governing the Senate. This is far
more than temporary leftist tactic – this is a real game changing event!
This
is nothing short of a tyrannical power grab. Never doubt what
Hypocrite Harry Reid is willing to do to advance the leftist agenda to
“fundamentally transform” our nation.
I am asking you to do two vital things:
FIRST,
fax the Senate right away. Utilizing Liberty Counsel Action’s highly
effective fax barrage, you can fax a “Stop Harry Reid’s Tyranny” message
to Senator Reid’s office, the offices of your two Senators, and to 10
Democrat members of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.
Every thing you need to fax Congress is right here.
Please click here now to have your faxes delivered immediately:
There are also other fax options to include up to the entire Senate.
The
SECOND action item is to call your two Senators’ offices – telling them
that you oppose Harry Reid’s deceitful parliamentary trick to change
the very nature of the Senate.
Here are the phone numbers to your two Nevada Senators:
Sen. Harry Reid: 202-224-3542
Sen. Harry Reid: 202-224-3542
Sen. Dean Heller: 202-224-6244
Harry
Reid now believes this Senate, under a resounding Democrat majority,
should be able to pass ANYTHING they want. Reid has, in essence, told
Republicans, “go along with our agenda or we’ll make you irrelevant.”
Please, take a moment and fax the Senate today…
Thank you for taking immediate action on this urgent issue!
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel Action
