September 22, 2010

Tomorrow, Thursday, September 23rd, the House will vote on another Lame-Duck session resolution offered by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA).

Price’s second attempt to prevent stealth legislation from getting through a lame-duck will be slightly different than his resolution the last time around.

The new resolution states:

That the House of Representatives pledges not to assemble on or between November 2, 2010, and January 3, 2011, except in the case of an unforeseen, sudden emergency requiring immediate action from Congress, and that the consideration of any of the following matters does not constitute an unforeseen, sudden emergency:

[including]



Any legislation pertaining to the Immigration and Nationality Act.


TAKE ACTION!

Anti-English provisions could easily be added to a bill that proposes changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act during a lame-duck, so we want to make sure that doesn’t happen!

Limiting a lame duck session will decrease the risk of Congress attempting to jam through stealth legislation.

TAKE ACTION!

Call and email your representative now and tell them to support the Price "Limit the lame-duck resolution" by voting YES TOMORROW!

The Price Resolution will limit the House's options of legislation to consider during a lame-duck session.

Some lawmakers who return for this session will not be in the next because there will be no electoral consequences for their votes, so a Lame Duck session is very risky and increases the likelihood of stealth legislation getting through.

Passing Price’s resolution will eliminate the risk of Congress jamming through a controversial immigration bill that may include Puerto Rican statehood, the DREAM Act, or any anti-English changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act.


The Price Resolution is scheduled for a floor vote tomorrow and I ask that you vote YES!
