Democrats Still Control the Senate

Most Americans would be shocked to learn that the Democrats still control the Senate even after Republicans won the majority last year, but it is true.

Breitbart News reports:

“With two minor exceptions, every single vote that has passed the U.S. Senate since the beginning of this Congress in January has passed with at least – usually more than – 93 percent of support from Democrats.”

Despite controlling the Senate, Republican leaders are passing bills that have more support from Democrats than Republicans.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has helped the Democrats pass funding for executive amnesty, pass the budget-busting “doc fix”, and confirm numerous liberal nominees including Loretta Lynch for Attorney General.

All of this has Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) cheering. His office praised McConnell for doing the “right thing” and said, “Democrats hope this trend will continue.”

If you’ve had enough of this, please make a contribution to the Senate Conservatives Fund so we can elect true conservatives to the U.S. Senate!

BAIT AND SWITCH

Americans voted to send more Republicans to Washington last year because they were promised that a new Republican majority in the Senate would stand up to President Obama and his agenda.

Senator McConnell vowed to repeal Obamacare root and branch, to use spending bills to defund bad policies, and to oppose any nominee for Attorney General who didn’t oppose executive amnesty.

It was a bait and switch.

McConnell has given up on sending full Obamacare repeal to the president’s desk, he’s surrendered the power of the purse and voted to fund amnesty, and he helped confirm Loretta Lynch as Attorney General – someone who believes there are no limits on President Obama’s power.

Sadly, Senator McConnell never intended to keep his promises.

Assistant Majority Leader John Cornyn (R-TX) openly admitted that the GOP establishment deceived voters. He said, “You gotta capture people’s imagination – and I think that’s what a lot of campaigning is about. And then you gotta get to the hard work of actually governing, which is sometimes a little different.”

By “a little different” he means surrendering to the Democrats.

Please show the GOP establishment you’re not going to be fooled anymore and make a contribution to SCF right now.

ELECT TRUE CONSERVATIVES

If we want to bring real change to Washington, we have to change the people we send there.

Over the past three elections, SCF and its grassroots supporters have elected many conservatives who are not going along with their spineless leaders.

Now, we need to continue and expand our efforts in 2016.

The Senate Republican Conference is divided between a group of career politicians and a new generation of conservative reformers. We need to work together to send the conservatives new reinforcements.

Senator McConnell hopes that we will give up, but that isn’t going to happen.

If you haven’t donated to SCF this year, I urge you to do so today. And if you’ve given this year and can contribute again, we really need your help.

We must build up our war chest to elect principled leaders in 2016.

Thank you for your faithful support. You helped SCF invest $11.1 million directly into candidates in 2014, making it the #1 conservative PAC in America.

We’re glad you’re part of our team.

Sincerely,

Ken Cuccinelli II
