Senators Got Fiscal Cliff Bill 3 Minutes Before Vote!

The U.S. Senate voted 89-8 to approve legislation to avoid the fiscal cliff despite having only 3 minutes to read the 154-page bill and budget score.

Multiple Senate sources have confirmed to CNSNews.com that senators received the bill at approximately 1:36 AM on Jan. 1, 2013 – a mere three minutes before they voted to approve it at 1:39 AM.

The bill is 154-pages and includes several provisions that are unrelated to the fiscal cliff, including repealing a section of ObamaCare, extending the wind-energy tax credit, and a rum tax subsidy deal for Puerto Rican rum makers.

    Then they should have refused to vote! What we have ended up with is an unconstitutional monetary system that charges us interest on our own money, controlled and own by private bankers, for a fiat currency with no commodity backing.
    Over 16.4 trillion in direct budget debt, over 70 trillion in unfunded liability debt, and over 200 trillion in derivative debt.
    The Supreme court legislates rather than applies law.(Obama Care)
    Over 100 years and thousands of pages of laws, rules, and regulations (IRS Tax Code Manual is over 60,000 pages!).
    A totally corrupted voting system.
    A two party system that has not reduced the size and scope of government in their history.
    Countless departments and agencies that create laws without the congress or senate (EPA comes to mind as well as DHS and TSA).That are now arming themselves with hundreds of millions of rounds of hollow point ammunition that is solely for domestic use. (killing citizens)
    This is why I feel that secession is our only hope for freedom and prosperity, unless our political leaders and citizens get their heads out of their a**es!!!!
