U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) has sponsored legislation giving members of Congress more procedural tools to stop unconstitutional legislation. It's just another reason to support Coburn's re-election campaign.

According to Coburn's press announcement, the Enumerated Powers Act requires the following:

1) Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise explanation of the specific constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act.

2) Failure to include such an explanation gives “rise to a point of order in either House of Congress.”

3) In the Senate, the point of order must be voted on by the Senate. Up to three hours of debate is allowed on the point of order.

Watch Sen. Coburn's floor speech on the Enumerated Powers Act.

Sen. Tom Coburn's report on wasteful stimulus projects continues to gain media attention. Here's the report from NBC's Today Show.

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) got a little testy at this hearing. She took issue with being called "Ma'am" by this General and insisted on being called "Senator" because she's worked so hard for the title. Hopefully, someone will make her work a little harder for it next year.

Fellow Conservatives:

           I am proud to announce the third Senate Conservatives Fund endorsement for the 2010 cycle. It goes to Marco Rubio, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Florida.

           At a time when Republicans across the country are looking for new leaders to champion the cause of freedom, Marco Rubio's articulate and passionate support for conservative principles is inspiring. He is quickly gaining support in Florida, and he's energizing Republicans across the country.

           Unfortunately, Marco is being overlooked by some in the Republican Party at a time when his leadership is needed most. That's why I endorsed him this morning in a column that appeared on FoxNews.com, and it's why the Senate Conservatives Fund is going to do everything it can to help him get elected.

           Click here to read Senator DeMint's Fox News endorsement of Marco Rubio.

           Marco Rubio is a bright, young conservative who is ready to go to Washington to defend the Constitution and fight to preserve our freedoms. The son of Cuban refugees, he is a first-generation American who understands how precious freedom is.

           Marco has lived the American Dream. He worked his way through college, graduated from law school, and was elected to the Florida House. He later became Speaker of the House at the age of 35, and has an impressive record of fighting for common sense reforms. Here are a few highlights of Marco's conservative record:

• Rubio has consistently opposed state tax hikes and has signed a pledge to oppose federal income tax hikes.

• Rubio opposed President Obama's stimulus bill and has pledged to fight wasteful Washington spending.

• Rubio opposes government bailouts and supports tax cuts for individuals and businesses to grow the economy.

• Rubio opposes President Obama's "cap and trade" scheme that includes a $650 billion tax increase and threatens to force Americans to pay higher energy prices.

• Rubio opposes amnesty and believes we must secure our borders to stop illegal immigration.

• Rubio is 100% pro-life, supports a waiting period to protect innocent unborn children, and has not waffled when it comes to protecting human life.

• Rubio supported the amendment to the Florida Constitution protecting traditional marriage, and opposes civil unions.

• Rubio supports only strict constructionist judges who will interpret the law and won't legislate from the bench.

           Perhaps more than any other race in the country, this election is about whether we conservatives are going to stand up and fight for a candidate who shares our values.

           Marco Rubio is not the biggest name in this race, and he won't have the most money, but he can win if conservatives in Florida and across the country rally behind him.

           Please make a contribution - no matter how small - to Marco Rubio's campaign today and then forward this email to your friends. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, or even $500, combined with the support of thousands of other conservatives, will propel Marco to victory.

           As someone who is in the Senate fighting each day to protect our freedoms, I can tell you that we desperately need leaders in the Senate who will stand up to the liberals in Washington. And we need those leaders now.

           This next election is critical to saving freedom. Please do whatever you can to help us take back our country. Thank you for your steadfast support for liberty.

           Sincerely,

Fellow Conservatives:

           I am proud to announce the second Senate Conservatives Fund endorsement of the 2010 cycle. Today, we are endorsing former Congressman Pat Toomey who is running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania against Senator Arlen Specter.

           I had the privilege of serving with Pat in Congress when he represented Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District. We were both elected in 1998, and for six years we worked closely together to advance economic freedom, national security, and traditional family values. Then we honored our term limit pledges and gave up our seats.

           I can tell you without reservation that Pat is one of the brightest, most principled men I have ever worked with.

           Pat opposes government bailouts, he wants to end wasteful earmarks, and he will fight tooth and nail to wrestle power out of the hands of President Obama and career politicians in Congress. Unlike some Republicans, he will hold the line against those who want us to depend on them for our education, our income, our health care, and our retirement.

           Pat is the kind of common sense leader Americans want in Congress. In fact, he was elected three times in a Democrat congressional district, and he did it while earning a 97% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union (ACU).

           The Pennsylvania Senate race may be the most important contest in the country in 2010. Pat Toomey represents everything conservatives want in a candidate; he's principled, he's articulate, and he's not afraid to take on the establishment in Washington. Specter, on the other hand, is willing to do whatever it takes to remain established in Washington, even if it means voting with Democrats and actually becoming one.

           Arlen Specter must be replaced. If not for him, President Obama never would have been able to pass the $1 trillion "stimulus" bill that is burying our country under a mountain of debt and failing to grow our economy.

           And no matter what the liberal media says, this is a race Pat Toomey can win.

           Remember, Pat ran against Specter in 2004 and nearly won. But unlike six years ago, voters in Pennsylvania are experiencing buyer's remorse. In fact, a recent poll showed Toomey closing in on Specter. Among those most likely to vote, Toomey only trails Specter by 3 percentage points and that's even before most of the state has even been introduced to him.

           Voters in Pennsylvania are ready for a change. They're tired of their Senator voting for bailouts, failed stimulus plans, and wasteful earmarks. And they're tired of watching their Senator do whatever and say whatever it takes to hold on to power.

           We know from past experience that Specter will stop at nothing to keep his thirty-year political career intact. That is why Senate Conservatives Fund is going to do everything it can help Pat defeat him.

           I hope you will join me in supporting Pat Toomey. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, or even $4,800 to his Senate campaign will help him fight off Specter's liberal attacks. We can win this race, but we have to be willing to stand with Pat Toomey and give him the firepower he needs to send Specter into retirement.

           I thank you for your dedication to the conservative cause. With your help, I'm confident we will take back our great country.

           Sincerely,

Fellow Conservatives:

           I am proud to announce the first Senate Conservatives Fund endorsement for the 2010 election. It goes to Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma. Senator Coburn announced his plans to seek a second term this morning and we're not going to waste any time voicing our support.

           Senator Coburn is one of a kind. He's principled, he's tough, and he's effective. Over the past four and a half years, he has proven himself time and time again to be a tireless warrior for freedom.

           When it comes to fighting government waste, no one has done more to protect Americans from Washington's addiction to pork barrel spending. The Wall Street Journal said it best when it dubbed him, "Coburn the Barbarian." He is a one-man, pork-busting machine that is feared and respected by big-spending Senators on both sides of the aisle. 

           Senator Coburn is also a physician who delivers babies on weekends without pay. He cares deeply about his patients and understands how the government has distorted the health insurance market. Senator Coburn is a formidable opponent in any health care debate and has made it his mission to stop the government from taking over our medical decisions.

           As you know, the purpose of SCF is to help elect rock-solid conservatives like to the United States Senate. So please make a contribution to Tom Coburn's campaign today. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, or even $4,800 will help him fight off the liberal attacks that will certainly be launched against him.

           This is very important. With President Obama in the White House and with Democrats running Congress, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.

           Thank you for your dedication to the cause of liberty. Working together, we will strengthen the United States Senate and take back our country.

           Sincerely,
