Whatever this bill is, it was not a dire necessity that it be rushed through a lame duck Congress.
It is an insult to the voters that made their wishes known on November 4 and a direct assault on the people in this country that want to stop this foolishness.
Call your congresscritter. I gave mine a call at his DC office, the staffer was one degree off from condescending and tried to lie to me that the congressman did not support amnesty or the ACA yet voted Yea on this cromnibus because it was a “strategy” for 2015. They are full to their eyeballs in BS and their staffers will get almost hostile when you call out their boss for being a liar and having no backbone.
BTW, I let the staffer know that in 2016 I will be working my butt off to ensure he never gets elected again, fool me once and all that.
Make no mistake, they set this date for expiration so it could be pushed through by a lame duck congress. They wanted an excuse, and judging by this article, they will get it.
