Using a duck to pass a bill

So many politicians are guilty of doing this, but here are a couple Joe Sixpack American is going to call out by name and bill.

Here is a short clip of the story (credit - TheHill.com).
The Coburn package is a monster — according to his office, it costs nearly $3.4 billion and includes 160 separate pieces of legislation lumped together by Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), with whom Reid said Wednesday he has consulted. The base bill would add or strengthen protections for areas of wilderness, national parks, forests, rivers, historic sites and other public lands. Staffers say the package includes an equal mix of Democratic and Republican bills.

Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) - 202-224-5521

Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) - 202-224-5852

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) - 202-224-3542

Check the link on this story to read the whole article then come back to get the phone numbers of these Senators. Call them and tell them you don't want them to push this through and that it's not in the best interests of Joe Sixpack American.

These types of add-ons (wilderness protection, historic sites, etc.) are not items that need to be included on a BIG BAILOUT!!! YES, I AM YELLING THIS!!!

This proves that those who are supporting pushing this through are more concerned with THEIR agenda than the best interests of Joe Sixpack American!!! (Yes, still yelling).

Republicans, Democrats, Greenies, Indies, etc. If you are going to continue to do things like push your own agenda and not the best interests of Joe Sixpack American, we will call you out by name and encourage everyone we come in contact with to call you out.

You who are supporting all the "sweeteners" in the Big Bailout are stalling pushing something through that will have positive impacts on the economy. We still don't believe the Big Bailout is the best answer, but its passing is likely inevitable.

So, the longer you take to push through economy-fixing legislation, the harder we're going to push you. Expect to here from Joe Sixpack Americans from all over the country! (not yelling anymore, just speaking distinctly)
