[Next Lame Duck update will be after Monday’s session.]
There’s also the lame duck food regulation scheme. And the scheme to share our missile defense system with Russia.
I hadn’t noticed much on talk radio and heard that FoxNews is downplaying it. We can either hope they have good sources or we can apply pressure. Monday is the day they return. Hopefully, it will just be speeches.
If you want to help, please first help get the word out — outside the forum. Without public awareness, a phone campaign won’t make much difference.

Harry Reid: I’m bringing the DREAM Act to the floor — for a standalone vote

“The media’s been spinning this as a “small” amnesty, but as you can see from the last paragraph (and as Kaus, again, has repeatedly pointed out), there are a lottttt of people who fit that description. Says the boss emeritus, “The illegal alien student bailout will NOT be limited to ‘children’ — but, in fact, would put illegal aliens in their 30s and 40s on a ‘path to citizenship.’” And Obama is fully onboard, needless to say, having met with the Democrats’ leadership on amnesty at the White House yesterday.”
