"set its own rules... enormous power..."
Grassfire Nation Update
The Congress of the United States has just given over it's
constitutionally-mandated authority to a Super-Committee
that will operate as its own mini-Congress.
At least that's what the media are saying!
Reuters..."[The Super Committee] will meet independently
from Congress, set its own rules" and will set off a "Holy
War" among D.C. lobbyists.
LA Times: The Super Committee "has been given enormous
power to recommend at least $1.5 trillion in deficit
reduction."
As we have said, the Super Committee is at best a legislative
mockery and at worst unconstitutional. That's why we are
delivering petitions next week to House and Senate
leaders as well as the co-chairs of the Super Committee.
This Super Committee is a cop-out by Congress that empowers
a select few members and shields the rest of Congress from
the political ramifications of runaway government spending.
Petition deliveries begin next week. To be
included we must hear from you soon. Go here
