One Reason to be Thankful

American Conservative,
This year we’ve seen a lot of awful things happen at our nation’s capitol: Obamacare saved, the debt ceiling raised, and Harry Reid’s nuclear attack on the filibuster just last week.
And with Thanksgiving a day away it may seem, at least as far as Washington is concerned, that there is really nothing to be “thankful” for as bigger government, more debt, and less freedom are things never to be celebrated.
These things stated, there’s at least one good reason to be thankful: Congress is doing a lot less than they normally do.
This is very good news.
To date, the 113th Congress has passed a historically low number of bills. While a total of 9,425 pieces of legislation have been introduced in some form since January – bills, amendments to bills, resolutions, etc. – only fifty-two have become public law.
Putting these numbers into perspective, Harry Truman’s 1948 “do-nothing congress” passed more than seventeen times as many bills as the current legislature.
Seeing that approximately ninety-percent of what Congress does today is unconstitutional, a legislative slow-down is worth celebrating as it means less tyranny.

So when you’re enjoying turkey with family and friends tomorrow, remind them that the federal government is actual growing slower than usual!
We need to tell lawmakers we’re grateful for this and remind them that only necessary and wise bills ought to be made into law.

We’re Being Heard
Fewer laws are not a result of Congress not showing up for work; they’re the result of our taking action.
A deluge of unnecessary legislation has been prevented because we made our voices heard loud and clear on the Hill in recent months – our faxes, messages, and phone calls have made, and are making, a national impact.
A perfect example of this is the defeat of Harry Reid and the gun-grabbers’ “Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act” back in mid-April. Because we took action, we saw the most sweeping gun-control bill in recent history go down in flames.

But we know that the fight is far from over. We know that the Establishment members of both parties want to grow government for their own gain – despite the Constitution and despite the American People.
Conservative Action Alerts is committed to challenging the establishment and fighting the statists in Washington, but we can’t do it alone. We need your support to help us keep the pressure up and mobilize more of the grassroots.
