Lame Duck Congress

Circumstances in the US today are like no other in our history.   Obama and Pelosi both are focused on pushing forward their Progressive/Socialist agenda.


Focus in the last two years has been on enacting legislation that will destroy our economy. No matter what Obama may say, I believe he is thrilled with the fact that so many people are now unemployed and dependent on our government.

This is exactly what Alinsky advocated and the Progressives want. Their next hope is that, in desperation, people become violent - so that they can initiate martial law.

After November 2nd, if we are successful in removing many of the incumbents, the Lame Duck session will be made up of many Representatives who "have nothing to lose" - as they will not be returning to the new session. Many dogmatically adhere to the Obama/Pelosi agenda.

Much legislative damage can be done in the Lame Duck session. These Representatives know that even if the new Congress succeeds in repealing this legislation, Obama will probably veto it. Overriding a veto is difficult.

Their agenda can still go forward.

We must be very careful that, in our "euphoria" with our success in removing incumbents, we do not ignore what will be occurring in our Congress. This is going to be a "dangerous" period.

We must be vigilant and immediately take action if we discover legislation that should not get passed. A priority will be to re-focus our energies on the Senators who are coming up for re-election in 2012:

Arizona - Kyl (R)
Nevada - Ensign (R)
California - Feinstein (D)
New Jersey - Menendez (D)
Connecticut - Lieberman (I)
New Mexico - Bingaman (D)
Delaware - Carper (D)
North Dakota - Conrad (D)
Florida - Nelson (D)
Ohio - Brown (D)
Hawaii - Akaka (D)
Pennsylvania - Casey, Jr. (D)
Indiana - Lugar (R)
Rhode Island - Whitehouse (D)
Maine - Snowe (R)
Tennessee - Corker (R)
Maryland - Cardin (D)
Utah - Hatch (R)
Michigan - Stabenow (D)
Vermont - Sanders (I)
Minnesota - Klobuchar (D)
Virginia - Webb (D)
Mississippi - Wicker (R)
Washington - Cantwell (D)
Missouri - McCaskill (D)
Wisconsin - Kohl (D)
Montana - Tester (D)
Wyoming - Barrasso (R)
Nebraska - Nelson (D)

19 Democrats - 8 Republicans - 2 Independents
