The Senate is supposed to be the "World's Greatest Deliberative Body". That means debating, amending, and voting on legislation -- all things Harry Reid has sought to avoid during his tenure as Senate Majority Leader.

Folks, we're teetering on tyranny. We must elect a conservative majority in 2012 to stop this madness.

This latest attempt to ignore the rules and force bad legislation on the American people is alarming, but it's not that surprising. Democrats have been ignoring the U.S. Constitution and blowing through its stop signs for years.

Republicans can protect their rights in the Senate but it requires 41 Republican votes to keep the Democrats from cutting off debate. Unfortunately, too many Republicans lack the courage to stand together for the principles of freedom.

The only way to take our country back is to elect true conservatives to the U.S. Senate

Sen. Jim DeMint is right on!

And leave the nuclear option in place. We win—you lose works both ways. It’s apparently the only way to get things done or undone.

Defeat RINOs in the primaries. Defeat RATs in the general election.

We’re with YOU, Senator DeMint! I will do my part in getting another conservative Senator here in Pennsylvania. One down, one to go.

I agree with you completely. Even your tagline.
