This week, Congress will reconvene for a “lame duck” session where it will consider another giant omnibus spending package in lieu of passing a budget for FY2011. Rather than submit to this massive piece of spending legislation, I, along with 67 (and counting) of my conservative colleagues are opting for a more responsible solution known as H.J.Res. 96. This joint resolution would provide a full-year continuing resolution (CR) that would protect defense and veteran spending while returning all non-military discretionary funding to FY2008 levels. H.J.Res. 96 would also defund ObamaCare, place an earmark moratorium on any FY2011 appropriations legislation, and prohibit “extraneous emergency spending.” You may read the full text of H.J.Res. 96 by
