Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Democrat co-conspirators are proposing to package all of the 2012 spending bills into a trillion dollar + “Omnibus Bill” prior to the federal government’s shutdown at midnight, December 17, when the most recent Continuing Resolution (CR) expires. This would be a fiscal disaster orchestrated by spendthrift leftists and would likely make a total mockery oflast August’s bi-partisan agreement to limit spending in order to raise the debt limit! See my urgent message below – Mat.
Conservatives,
In December 2010, during its infamous “lame duck” session, the 111th Congress tried to ramrod a $1 Trillion+ Omnibus Spending Bill through Congress and down the throats of disapproving Americans. That 1,924 page bill, which Harry Reid called “a very good piece of legislation,” had over 6,000 spending “earmarks” embedded in it!

Thanks to extraordinary efforts by fiscal conservatives, the measure failed and the Majority Leader’s ploy was exposed.
In late breaking news yesterday, it was announced that Reid and his cohorts want to try this tired tactic again in order to avoid having to vote on yet another Continuing Resolution (CR) and to avert a government shutdown when federal funding runs out at midnight on December 17th.
Reid will call on members of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees to negotiate program spending levels and policy riders to assemble the huge spending package…and then to pass it as quickly as possible!
As reported by The Hill...

As reported by The Hill...
“Conservative GOP aides say a massive omnibus package would starkly illustrate how much money Congress continues to spend after the negotiations of April and July, which averted a government shutdown and national default...”
Although the bill isn’t assembled yet, you can be sure that Reid’s spending package WILL include funding for ObamaCare, funding for Planned Parenthood, and numerous other appropriations for leftist pet projects.
And we will be closely watching to see if Senator Reid has the audacity to try to sneak the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” and other outrageous liberal bills through as riders to his Omnibus Bill.
++We’re taking action to STOP this end run!
Yesterday, I announced that Liberty Counsel Action is petitioning Congress to “Stop the Spending Now!” because of a number of measures that Congress will be forced to deal with in the next several weeks.

Reid’s proposed Omnibus Bill really adds fuel to our fire! We MUST make sure that Congress gets our message loud and clear, “Stop the Spending Now!”
Go here to sign our powerful new “Stop the Spending Now” Petition which will be hand-delivered to key Congressional offices before ANY fiscal bill to avoid a government shutdown comes up for a vote:

I must have your signature now to insure that your name is included along with many tens of thousands of other fiscal conservatives who desire to stop out-of-control government spending, to curb special interest funding, and to stop pet leftist projects from being funded.

++ The Obama/Reid game plan: Spend more and raise taxes.
As I wrote to you yesterday, with the failure of the Super Committee to come up with a plan to cut the budget, Congress is facing crucial budget items they must deal with before the end of 2011.

Reid now wants to meet that need by creating one enormous Omnibus Bill that can move quickly before the year-end recess. As he and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi learned long ago, you can hide a lot of spending and pet projects in massive bills that even legislators don’t have time to read!
At the same time, President Obama is twisting arms in Congress to pass his $447 billion “jobs creation package” despite his prior stimulus packages that many economists have called abysmal failures.
++We MUST take action or be buried in even more debt!
This is a fiscal imperative!
I URGE you to sign Liberty Counsel Action’s “Stop the Spending Now” Petition. This petition demands that Congress stop this cycle of fiscal insanity, stop out-of-control government spending, and stop printing more currency and further devaluing the dollar.
As I mentioned earlier, this petition will be sent to key congressional leaders who are involved in budget negotiations and fiscal affairs. The first delivery will happen the moment we reach 50,000 signers – or prior to the first vote on the pending Omnibus Bill.

The Liberty Counsel Action petition states in part:
We, the undersigned, demand that Congress break the cycle of fiscal insanity by stopping out-of-control government spending, borrowing, and printing ever more currency, which seriously devalues the dollar. Further, we are calling on Congress to stop any pending tax increases or consideration of new taxes or fees that ultimately raise Americans’ cost of living.
We insist that Congress reject any increases in debt and spending and commit to saving our country from financial ruin and collapse. To that end, we insist that Congress create and pass a balanced budget. We are calling for strict accountability for each of our nation’s lawmakers.
