I appreciated your stand on #2751 on the Winter Solstice. You said what I wanted to say. This was important to me.

"The problem with a lame duck session is that it occurs after many members of Congress have been voted out of office or have retired. They are no longer held accountable for their actions by their constituents and can choose to enact legislation that they usually may not support. Top items in the lame duck session could be the controversial cap-and-tax plan, radical overhaul of our immigration laws, and massive new spending bills aimed at funding their liberal agenda.
Simply put, this is not the way to govern. Lame duck sessions should only be used to wrap up necessary business Congress was unable to complete – not to pass divisive and unpopular legislation that would dramatically alter the way our country operates."
