Mark Kirk won two elections to the U.S. Senate on November 2. He won an election to a full 6-year term, and he also won a SPECIAL ELECTION to fill the final two months of President Obama's unexpired term. The special election is critical because Congress is considering a sweeping lame duck agenda that will include decisions on tax hikes for all Americans, the first vote on funding ObamaCare, and potentially dozens of other hugely consequential issues.

Mark Kirk campaigned as a LAME DUCK KILLER and won his election on a promise to stop Pelosi/Reid lame duck agenda. He won. Now, unlike the two Democrats who won special elections in West Virginia and Delaware, there is a chance that Kirk will not be seated. EVEN THOUGH he won a special election SPECIFICALLY for the lame duck session, state officials are saying he will not be certified until more than a week after the lame duck session starts. That's not right.

Sign the petition. Don't cheat! Give Kirk his seat!

Maybe with Kirk now in the Senate they will get Cap and Trade passed.

Oh wait, cap and trade will be a disaster for the U.S. economy, why would anyone want Kirk in early?
