“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Harry Reid desires for a "Hugo Chavez" style of government

From Powerline:

One of the little-known features of Harry Reid’s “compromise” proposal–no detailed version of which exists–is that it would “deem” budgets to have been enacted for fiscal years 2012 and 2013. In that event, our government would go a full four years without a lawful, statutory budget being in place.
This is in direct violation of Federal law. As one acquaintance of mine put it, "They [the Democrats] have absolutely no shame in their drive to institute an Hugo Chavez style government."

Read the whole thing, and pass it on.
