What is the republican's 100 day agenda and what can we do about it?

I have heard that Mitch has asked for a 100 day agenda of stuff they are going to try and ram through quickly. What is it and what can we do about it?

Ground rules: no whimpering about how we can do nothing. There is always something we can do. We may not get what we want...but we can still stop a lot of things.

We are the ones we have been waiting for. What is our 100 day agenda?

push bills through when they think they won't succeed, but Republicans will form an assault, even when they know that Obama will veto their efforts. So it's obvious that they are setting up photo opportunities that will bring their racist voters out on election day. And that's all they're looking for.

Republicans are putting together an agenda for the first 100 days of 2015 in case they win control of the Senate.

Authorizing the Keystone XL oil pipeline, approving “fast-track” trade authority, wiping out proposed environmental regulations and repealing the medical device tax top their list.
