Honey Don't

"I say you will when you won't, ah-hah honey don't"
We've had six years of a recalcitrant Senate protecting the President's backside, doing nothing and blaming the House of Representatives for their own wrongdoing.  Now that the hammer has been passed to our team, pulling your own teeth seems self destructive. This is a letter just faxed to both of my Senators.
Senator Johnny Isakson
U.S. Senate, 131 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Isakson,
We have heard that Congressional Republicans are considering passing a long-term omnibus spending bill in the lame-duck session of Congress. Please don't! If a long-term bill is passed, how will Republicans defund President Obama's executive amnesty early next year? Please make sure that only a short-term continuing resolution is passed.
Republican options for blocking the president's executive amnesty are few in number. The president can veto whatever legislation is passed, but a bill is unlikely to be passed because it is likely to be filibustered in the Senate. A spending bill is the only option.
Passing a long-term omnibus spending bill before President Obama issues his executive actions to amnesty illegal aliens simply makes no sense. Why would your party give up the one chance it has to defund the president's amnesty? The American people voted at the polls against the president's plans, so I hope you will make sure only a short-term bill is voted on by Congress during the lame-duck session.
Looking for your support,
No doubt, this is the kind of compromise Saxby Chambliss thinks makes him more "Senatorial" looking.
