Thread: The 2011 Appropriations Bill Fiasco

Video from Cap Wiz




Help Stop the Spending Madness
Obama PromiseFor the first time in years, Congress failed to pass a budget bill during its normal legislative cycle.

Now in the final days of the lame duck session, Democrats have introduced a massive $1.2 trillion spending bill.

Spanning nearly 2000 pages, the bill is laden with over 6600 earmarks for pork barrel spending initiatives.

During his campaign for President, Barack Obama repeatedly promised he would not tolerate earmarks. Now is his opportunity to deliver on his commitment to the American people.

URGENT UPDATE:
Lame-Duck House Sends Fake Food Safety Hot Potato Back to Senate. Tell the Senate to Strip S.510 from the Continuing Resolution or Omnibus Bill!

S.510: Hidden in House Amendment to Senate Amendment to House Bill! HR 3082 now hides S 510! The House passed it by 212 to 205 - without a single Republican vote! It is buried in the 423 pages of the Continuing Resolution which provides government funding into the next fiscal year - a "MUST PASS" bill. But the S.510 amendment can be removed by the Senate before the bill is passed.

Some Senators have introduced a huge "Omnibus Bill" that is even worse than the C.R., in that it increases the deficit and, of course, also includes S.510's fake "food safety" provisions!

Message from General Bert

"THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR FATIGUE! WE ARE IN THE ENDGAME OF THIS BATTLE AND WE ARE CLOSE TO A RESOUNDING VICTORY... By the end of any battle, both sides are exhausted, but the side that perseveres just a little longer... wins! That is where we are now, and that is why massive Push Back is more important now than before! We are flooding Congress with a clear message: Strip S.510 from any Funding Bill! Keep at it! Victory is within our reach. Keep pressing forward while you recruit your contacts to act with you now!"

THE US SENATE Will Vote on a "Continuing Resolution,"
which now includes S. 510's language as passed by the House.
This will END FOOD FREEDOM IN THE UNITED STATES.

Don't Adopt Any Funding Bill that Includes S.510!

As the Senate originally passed S.510 last month, Sen Coburn said the bill will raise food prices; add $1.5 billion to deficit; add unfunded state mandates. It will not increase food safety one bite. Now the House as "tacked" the bill onto the "must pass" Contiuing Resolution...

WE HAVE PREPARED THIS NEW ACTION ITEM TELLING
THE SENATE NOT TO ACCEPT THIS FLAWED AMENDMENT!


"Despite unusual bipartisan support on Capitol Hill and a strong push from the Obama administration, though, the bill could still die, because there might not be enough time left in the session for the usual haggling between the Senate and House of Representatives, which passed its own version of the bill last year..."

TELL THE SENATE: DON'T ACCEPT THIS SNEAKY AMENDMENT PROCEDURE...
STRIP S.510 FROM THE C.R. or Omnibus Bill

PLEASE CONTINUE TO "MESSAGE" YOUR SENATORS, BY PHONE OR EMAIL,
TO OPPOSE ANY C.R. THAT DOES MORE THAN JUST CONTINUE CURRENT PROGRAMS!

more updated...

Here is what our friends at the Campaign for Liberty have to say about it:

"This week, the Senate will vote on a long-term Continuing Resolution (CR) that leaves spending at 2010 levels, makes over $1 trillion in appropriations for Big Government projects, and contains S. 510, the FDA's War on Food, as an attachment. Contact your senators and urge them to vote against the long-term CR on every vote - including cloture - and to support a short-term version that will fund the government only until the new Congress convenes and removes the S. 510 language."

The Continuing Resolution can only pass over the minority's objection if the majority forces the issue through cloture (limiting debate). Since the majority party lost its 60 vote majority, needed to invoke cloture, the only way this bill will pass is if certain faint-of-heart members of the minority party support it! It took several New England GOP Senators -- including Massachusetts' new Sen. Scott Brown who was elected with Tea Party support -- to pass S.510 the first time in the Senate. If these Senators hold firm, this will not happen again! If they side with the food fascists, we expect the voters will remember. And even six years from now Sen. Brown will be held to the promises he ignored!

Continue to tell your Senators that you STRONGELY OPPOSE the use of the Continuing Resolution (HR.3082, needed to keep Federal program operating through the Holidays) to force S.510 through the lame-duck Congress!

We urge support for a simple, short-term C.R. without new spending or programs!

This just in from our friends at Citizens for Health: "Once the Senate has finished consideration of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010, they intend to take up the Continuing Resolution, now referred to as the Omnibus Bill. Only now, Senator Daniel Inouye [D-HI] has attached an amendment containing - you guessed it - the dangerous language from S. 510. The vote could happen this afternoon, so there's no time to waste!"

Time is short.
The consequenses of inaction are long, very, very long...
PLEASE USE THE ACTION ITEM EVERY DAY... OFTEN!
