TAMPA, Fla. -- South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) called on government contractors to put employees on layoff notice before November's election as a way to pressure Congress to address the so-called "fiscal cliff."

Graham, joined by Republican Sens. John McCain (AZ) and Kelly Ayotte (NH), were in Florida for their first stop on a two-day, four-state tour by these three members of the Senate Armed Services Committee designed to bring attention to the $500 billion in automatic cuts scheduled to begin in January if Congress does not find other ways to cut spending.

“Politicians, you know, quite frankly respond to pressure,” Graham said about the cuts set to begin in 2013 under the so-called sequestration budget.

“I’m urging every defense industry that could be affected by sequestration to put your employees on notice before November,” he continued. “The more it becomes real to us as to what comes the nation’s way, the more likely we are to solve the problem.”

1. Lindsey says that he can not do his job unless he is forced to

he let a little truth slip out


add: In his statement he admits he is too stupid, too lazy, too greedy to do his job unless someone pushes him him.

2. And every notice should have the person's GOP reps' numbers on them

and an explanation about how the GOP reps voted against every bill that might create jobs.

3. And how they forced the debt limit showdown

in the first place- and then failed to make the tough choices to avoid the sequestration even as they claimed to get 98% of what they wanted!

BTW what Lindsey is suggesting here is something similar to what Hannity was accusing President Obama of supposedly doing or planning to do.
