…And anyone else who understands that we have to restore some fiscal sanity to our federal government: We all need to sign the Cut, Cap & Balance Pledge.
Raising the debt ceiling without condition will only enable Congress to go on spending like drunken sailors (– the party’s over boys!). The pledge isn’t a detailed plan, rather it lays out three simple, common sense maxims that our elected representatives would agree to follow before they even consider any increase in the debt limit;
1.) substantially cutting spending immediately,
2.) capping it going forward, and;
3.) adopting a balanced-budget amendment with strict tax and spending limitations
Read Tim Phillips’ (of Americans for Prosperity) & Phil Kerpen’s article for a brief overview of why the pledge is so necessary and what it hopes to accomplish: Cut, Cap, and Balance ~ A path to fiscal responsibility.
So sign the Pledge (After signing, you’re automatically provided with the email addresses of you local reps. Notify them as well, regardless of their party affiliation.). And please pass this message on – let’s make sure Congress knows we’re fed up with them acting like chickens!
