The Ominous Omnibus




Posted by Erick Erickson (Profile)


The Senate has released an omnibus appropriations bill that blows the lid off spending. They waited until the last possible minute to put it out for review. It is 1,924 pages long, filled with earmarks, and goes so far as to declare Nevada a Pacific Coast state so it can get in on a few million dollars to protect salmon. The Democrats have also put a provision in the legislation to begin funding Obamacare.



It is insane and the GOP claims it will fight. Naturally though, several of the outgoing Republican Senators have decided they can finally flip the middle finger at their constituents. Senator Susan Collins is joining these departing senators — Voinovich, Bennett, Bond.



Please take a few moments to call these 4 Senators and tell them to Vote NO:



Senator Kit Bond: (202) 224-5721

Senator Bob Bennett: (202) 224-5444



Senator Susan Collins: (202) 224-2523
