Beware The "Super Congress" - excellent read.

McConnell sold out the country and the U.S. Constitution in
one single flush down the drain.

Excerpts:

"The creation of a 12 person elitist panel of lawmakers is absurd and is just meant to fast track more awful legislation through the Washington meat grinder."

"Legislation approved by the Super Congress -- which some on Capitol Hill are calling the "super committee" -- would then be fast-tracked through both chambers, where it couldn't be amended by simple, regular lawmakers, who'd have the ability only to cast an up or down vote. With the weight of both leaderships behind it, a product originated by the Super Congress would have a strong chance of moving through the little Congress and quickly becoming law. A Super Congress would be less accountable than the system that exists today, and would find it easier to strip the public of popular benefits. Negotiators are currently considering cutting the mortgage deduction and tax credits for retirement savings, for instance, extremely popular policies that would be difficult to slice up using the traditional legislative process."

A "RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION" Campaign should be started immediately by PRIMARYING and REMOVING all those who have SIGNED ON to this atrocity on the taxpayers of America!

If there is no Constitutional challenge to this provision, then the fault for the complete destruction of our government is our own.
