Prepare for the Most Dangerous Session in Congress Liberty Matters | Sept 1, 2010 - The final weeks of the 2010 second session of the 111 th Congress could be the most dangerous in our history. In view of the current outlook for mid-term elections, this may be the last chance Senator Reid has to push through Cap ‘n Trade, the Clean  Water Restoration Act, the Wildlife Corridors Act, the CLEAR Act, and Food Health bills that will strangle the farming industry. The Senate will reconvene September 13th and adjourn October 8th. They return after the election recess on November 15th and work until the week of Thanksgiving. Then work continues in December. While these bills can be brought up any time during the critical days ahead, our property rights and interests are most vulnerable during the sessions following election. During that November-December session, many, if not all of the anti-private property bills may be bundled together much like the Omnibus Public Lands bill that was enacted in 2009. Such “bundling” is a Senator Harry Reid trademark. He combines bills that include legislation desired by enough Senators to secure the necessary votes for passage. It is a devious tactic, but o ne for which we must be prepared. This issue of Liberty Matters has been prepared to give you a heads up on the key anti-private property bills we expect to come up for passage during the final quarter of this critical year. The Clean Water Restoration Act ( SB 787 ) : The most devastating element of this bill is the way it amends the Pollution Control Act to expand Corps of Engineers authority over all land that is “adjacent to, near, is affected by, or affects”
