HARRY 'HANDS UP' REID SABOTAGES CUT, CAP AND BALANCE VOTE IN SENATE

Dear Patriot,

This morning, Harry Reid used a procedural move to sabotage
the Senate cloture vote on "Cut, Cap and Balance." Technically
it was a "vote on the motion to table the motion to proceed"
to the bill.

         In doing so, Reid call the bill "radical" and said
         it was "one of the worst pieces of legislation to
         ever be placed on the floor of the United States
         Senate."


Radical? Cutting spending is radical? Capping government
spending is radical? Balancing the budget is radical?

It was a strict party-line vote with all Democrats voting
to table (i.e. kill) the bill. This despite the fact that
20 Democratic Senators have pledged their support for a
Balanced Budget Amendment.

The Big Spenders think they just won the fight. Now, Reid
and gang are headed back to negotiate a "compromise" that
will increase our debt, expand government and raise our taxes.

What's next?

One of two things...

Either the backroom deal that Obama and the Big Spenders have
been working on for weeks will pass with tax increases and no
end to the spending and deficit madness,

Or...

A second wave of the Tea Party resistance will arise and
demand an end to runaway spending, demand a balanced budget
amendment, and demand fiscal accountability in Washington.

If you are outraged...
