Washington, Jul 29 - Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after offering a resolution on the floor of the House of Representatives calling on Congress not to hold a lame duck session after Election Day for the purpose of passing hugely unpopular legislation like a national energy tax, enormous deficit spending bills, and the kickback to Big Labor known as “Card Check.”

“Americans are sick and tired of their elected leaders making backroom deals to ram through unpopular, 2000-page bills that no one has read,” said Chairman Price. “They are sick of out-of-touch politicians, and they are tired of being ignored.

A number of Democrats, including members of their leadership, have recently expressed a desire to ignore the public will and use a lame duck session to pass liberal legislation Americans do not want. Today I gave my Democrat colleagues an opportunity to show they are finally ready to listen to the American people.

“Our system of government rests upon the consent of the governed, but it is quite clear that Democrats no longer have Americans’ consent.

The public’s trust in this Congress has been repeatedly broken. Voting for a national energy tax and other items on the liberal wish list in a lame duck session would shatter it beyond repair. Republicans are fully prepared to do what is necessary to restore Americans’ trust in their elected representatives. We know it will be a long road, but it is one well worth traveling.”

Note: Instead of taking a clear stand on this issue, House Democrats chose to delay a vote on the Price resolution.

Here is the Text of the Resolution:

I've been worried about the lame ducks for months. Maybe if we threatened them with violence and physical harm they'd listen. I'm serious - nothing else to date has captured their attention.

If the Republicans can keep their 3 Senate RINO's in check this shouldn't be a problem. HOWEVER, Obama and company are trying to do an end run on the filibuster and require only a simple majority to vote on legislation in the Senate.

I know, the RINO's stand to ruin the country further. Can they be trusted, I think not.

The rightie way to solve things! Violence and physical harm. Only give them the option of "Just say no". The righties know want Obama to fail. They will do ANYTHING in order to achieve that goal. Even if it wrecks the country.

Good. I hope they are successful. When the Repugs filibuster every bill, something has to be done.

Trusted? I guess individual free will and the needs of their constituants don't matter as long as they just say no and vote in lock step with the Republican party. Sad.

Saying "no" to this administration seems to be catching on by the millions, Roberta. ...but you keep saying yes to everything, even though your dumb*** says you disagree with some things. (yeah right)

Tom Price finally did something to make me want to vote for him, instead of
voting against the rest of the candidates on the ballot.

The polls show that the majority of the people (constituents, jackamonkey, not constituants) are against Obama's policies. Roberta, you have even admitted to being against some, but you still support them to mock Republicans. You are the fool, again.

Hate to break it to you Rob but violence comes right from the liberal playbook. Don't like home builders? Burn the houses down. Don't like the ways of the world? Go crazy at G8 and WTO meetings. Wanna save the rain forests? Then torch the bulldozers. Have a special connection with a wolf? Then throw paint at a woman in a fur coat. Don't like jury verdicts? Then have the Rodney King riots. When was the last time you saw a CEO throw a brick through a shoe store window and steal a pair of Air Jordans after this team won an NBA championship?

With the exception of lunatic anti-abortion fanatics, I can't think of any violence being done by the right.

To hear the progressive liberals the tea parties are nothing more than KKK lynching parties.

I agree that Robert has some idiot tendancies, but are ya'll really going to codone threats of violence against members of Congress? If so, that's unbelievable.

Condone it? Why not? Our justice dept condones threats of violence against white crackers wishing to vote. If it's good enough for the Black Panthers then it should be good enough for me, after all, we don't discriminate are here, do we?

So you hold yourself up to the standards of the Black Panthers? That must be a horrible way to live your life.

I'm not holding myself up to the standards of the Black Panthers, I'm conducting myself in a manner that's completely approved by two black men, Obama and Holder, the majorities of congress and the senate, and every liberal out there. In other words, I'm being politically correct.

That is hilarious given how many of the Democrat representatives stand to lose their seats based on their voting habits of the last couple years.

If the congress, the president, and attorney general of the United States says it is ok, then it IS ok, right?
