Speaker Pelosi and Congressional Democrats continue to ignore the will of the American people as they push through their big government liberal agenda. They have enacted a government takeover of health care and fought to perpetuate a culture of taxpayer-funded bailouts.

The American people have learned that Washington Democrats want to use a "lame duck" session of Congress after the November elections to force through the most unpopular items of their agenda:

• Massive new spending that will add billions to our nation's debt;

• A Crippling "National Energy Tax" on American families and businesses;

• Enormous tax increase on the American people and small businesses to the tune of $3.8 trillion; and

• A Handout to special interest for Big Labor known as "Card Check."

Washington cannot continue to ignore the will of the people in a rush to enact a liberal agenda that will bankrupt our nation.

"We, therefore, ask the House of Representatives to pass the NO LAME DUCK RESOLUTION NOW and call on Congress to not use a 'lame duck' session to pass controversial legislation after the American people have elected a new majority in the November elections."
