Omnibus Failure

Tuesday, December 29, 2015

The Senate’s passage of the 2,000-page, $1.1 trillion omnibus bill before Christmas was yet another failure of Republican leadership.

The bill fully funded Planned Parenthood, the president’s unlawful executive amnesty program, the relocation program for Syrian refugees, and Obamacare, which is hurting millions of American families.

Yet again, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) proved that the new majority is no different than the old one. He is so determined to show that he can “govern” that he will do whatever the Democrats want in order to pass as many bills as possible. And the content of the bills doesn’t matter to him.

Liberals like Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) love this approach. “Sen. McConnell wants to see the Senate work,” Schumer said. “But the good news for [Democrats] is, to make it work, he has to do basically our agenda.”

Sadly, he’s right.

Senator McConnell made 2015 a great year for Democrats. He helped them raise the debt limit, pass trillions in new spending with no restrictions on the bureaucracy, and extend corporate welfare programs like the Export-Import Bank. It’s why Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) called it a “successful year.”

TAKE ACTION

If you’re tired of watching Senator McConnell and the Republican establishment cut liberal deals with the Democrats, please help us elect more conservatives who will stand up for our principles.

Make a contribution to SCF and to our three endorsed Senate candidates – Mike Lee (R-UT), Ron DeSantis (R-FL), and Marlin Stutzman (R-IN).

Nothing poses a greater threat to the DC establishment than electing proven conservatives who won’t go along with their agenda, which is hurting our country and giving Republicans a bad name.

As you know, SCF will pay all processing fees so 100% of your candidate contributions will go directly to their campaigns.

There are just a few days left before the January 1 FEC reporting deadline so now is the time to contribute.

Thank you for your generous support. With your help, we will continue to fight for the principles of freedom that make this country great.
