Cancel the Lame Duck Session of Congress
Cancel the lame duck session of Congress after the election. Let the new President & Congress consider TPP & the Saudi 9/11 law in January if they wish.
Why is this important?
The planned lame duck session of Congress after the November election could be a Christmas Tree of goodies for corporate special interests.
In a lame duck Congress after the election, they hope to pass the anti-democratic Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement [TPP]. [1] In a lame duck Congress after the election, they hope to weaken the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, the Saudi 9/11 law. [2]
Urge your Senators and Representative to oppose consideration of these issues in an anti-democratic lame duck session of Congress after the election by signing our petition.
