Harry Reid who cannot pass a budget?

Imag­ine the truth that a man that can­not do his job in con­gress has now done some­thing that will for­ev­er tar­nish the con­sti­tu­tion if you the vot­ing pub­lic do not act to remove this man from office.

Har­ry Reid must be recalled or removed from office because of break­ing the oath of office of the Unit­ed States Sen­ate.

Today, with­out warn­ing, Har­ry Reid act­ed on the threat he made ear­li­er this year and broke the rules to gut the fil­i­buster.

Rei­d’s scheme vio­lates over two cen­turies of prece­dent and crush­es the rights of the minor­i­ty par­ty by chang­ing the basic rules of the Sen­ate with only 51 votes — ignor­ing all exist­ing rules and prece­dents.

By pulling the so-called “nuclear option” Har­ry Reid will now be able to ram Barack Oba­ma’s rad­i­cal exec­u­tive and judi­cial branch nom­i­na­tions through the U.S. Sen­ate with the slimmest majori­ties.

Now that the prece­dent has been set, it’s only a mat­ter of time before these new rules extend to U.S. Supreme Court nom­i­nees and all leg­is­la­tion.

Just min­utes after Har­ry Rei­d’s pow­er grab, union-label Sen­a­tor Tom Harkin took to the Sen­ate floor and advo­cat­ed gut­ting the fil­i­buster for leg­is­la­tion too.

As the spon­sor of the Card Check Forced Union­ism Bill, Harkin remem­bers that cit­i­zens like you used the fil­i­buster to defeat his scheme to end secret-bal­lot elec­tions in union­iza­tion cam­paigns.

In fact, over and over again since our found­ing, the Nation­al Right to Work Com­mit­tee and our mem­bers have used the Sen­ate fil­i­buster to keep Big Labor from steal­ing even more destruc­tive monop­oly pow­er.

All of those defen­sive vic­to­ries are now in jeop­ardy.

The next step, as we’ve warned, is to take over the courts.

Har­ry Rei­d’s under­hand­ed maneu­ver paves the way for Barack Oba­ma to pack the D.C. Cir­cuit Court of Appeals as revenge for rebuk­ing his uncon­sti­tu­tion­al “recess” appoint­ments to the Nation­al Labor Rela­tions Board (NLRB).

Our con­sti­tu­tion­al sys­tem is based on the bedrock prin­ci­ple that the dif­fer­ent branch­es of gov­ern­ment pro­vide checks and bal­ances to pro­tect our lib­er­ties and the rule of law.

Today, Har­ry Reid dec­i­mat­ed those checks and bal­ances.

Make no mis­take: Your rights as grass­roots cit­i­zens have been weak­ened today. And the Pres­i­dent and Sen­ate Major­i­ty Leader now have unprece­dent­ed pow­er.

Our job just got tougher. We must stay on high­er alert.

Thanks again for every­thing you did in this bat­tle. I’m going to need you to stay vig­i­lant more than ever.

Sin­cere­ly,
