Following the euphoria of November 2nd, the lame-duck session of the 111th Congress was very deflating. It is obvious that too many in both parties of Congress refuse to hear the voice of the people. With the TEA Party reinforcements crossing the Potomac to take their oaths of office on January 5th, for the first time in almost two decades, average Americans may have people in place to represent them, not repress them! It bodes well for a Happy New Year!
