My Fellow Americans: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats have just shown how radical and power-hungry they truly are. We cannot and we must not let them get away with this clear abuse of power. Late last week, Majority Leader Reid changed the Senate rules and exercised the so-called nuclear option - a tactic that eliminates the minority partys ability to filibuster almost all presidentially appointed nominees. In other words, he has breached 225 years of tradition and radically altered the way the Senate does business to expedite the implementation of his radical big government agenda. In so doing, he has broken the promise he made in 2011 to oppose any effort in this Congress or the next to change the Senates rules other than through the regular order. And he did it all so he could silence the voice of Senate Republicans and effectively shut half of the American people - including YOU - out of the debate over whether or not to confirm Barack Obamas political and judicial appointees. With this rule change, Harry Reid has vastly expanded the Democrats power. They now have carte-blanche to appoint and confirm any radical leftist they choose to almost any position of power in America. They are counting on you not to remember when it comes time for the election in 2014 and 2016.
