“Please Call Your Congressman Now (The President called for calls to our Congressmen. Now is the time!)

The House will vote Wednesday on the new ‘Boehner Plan’ in the debt ceiling debate. Unless you want our national debt to reach $23.7 trillion over the next 10 years, I need you to call your Congressman right now to tell them to vote NO. And then you need to forward this email to all your friends and ask them to do the same thing. Call NOW>>

http://action.freedomworks.org/4829/tell-your-representatives-to-vote-no-on-speaker-boehners-debt-cei/?src=july26

Why? The Boehner Plan barely cuts ($6 billion next year), doesn’t cap, and doesn’t balance.

In fact, over the next 10 years it leaves the United States with a national debt of $23.7 trillion instead of $24.9 trillion and then asks a ‘special committee’ to come up with some more ideas for cuts. Seventeen special committees since 1982 have left us in the hole we’re in today so we have no reason to think this one would be any different. We need real cuts now. (Repeating: We NEED REAL CUTS NOW!!!—my addition)

The big vote is this Wednesday, so this cannot be put off. Call now to oppose the Boehner Plan.

http://action.freedomworks.org/4829/tell-your-representatives-to-vote-no-on-speaker-boehners-debt-cei/?src=july26

Speaker Boehner and House Republicans did the right thing last week when they passed the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act with a massive 234-190 bi-partisan majority. That was our compromise position. It gave the Democrats their coveted debt ceiling increase so long as they passed permanent change to how Washington spends our money in the form of a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Then the Democrat-controlled Senate refused to debate the bill. That's right, the ‘most deliberative body in the world’ refused to debate a bill with bi-partisan support and, according to a CNN poll, the support of 66 percent of Americans. They know the Balanced Budget Amendment is wildly popular across party lines and that they would lose that fight.

Unfortunately, rather than hold the line and force President Obama or Harry Reid to put to paper their own legislation (which they have failed to do), Speaker Boehner has (again) put forward a plan.

But this plan will not do and the credit rating agencies agree. So far, the only plan that could protect our national AAA credit rating is Cut, Cap, and Balance.

Please call your Congressman right now

http://action.freedomworks.org/4829/tell-your-representatives-to-vote-no-on-speaker-boehners-debt-cei/?src=july26

and tell him you oppose the Boehner Plan, or any plan that leaves us $23.7 trillion in debt in 10 years. We need to head in the other direction—toward balance, and toward Washington only spending what it brings in.

The Cut, Cap, and Balance Act is the only existing legislation that gets us there.

Washington wants a deal; the American people want a solution. Cut, Cap, and Balance is the solution. Please call now.

In Liberty,

Matt Kibbe
President and CEO, FreedomWorks

P.S. Because this fight is SO critical—as soon as you’ve called your Congressman, I must ask for your financial support. If we receive an outpouring of donations—even small ones of $10, $25 or $50

https://www.freedomworks.org/contribute?src=july26

FreedomWorks will be able to sound the alarms and expand our mobilization efforts to ensure Congress doesn’t cave into the Boehner Plan.

Please, once you’ve made your call, consider clicking here and chipping in whatever you can to support REAL reform in Washington.”

“Urgent Act now!

Posted by Judson Phillips on July 26, 2011 at 6:40pm

While we get closer and closer to victory, the RINOs lead by John Boehner are bound and determined to ignore the will of the people and not do what we sent them to do.

The House passed Cut, Cap and Balance. Was that just a show?

Now they have the so-called Boehner plan they are going to try to pass instead of the already passed Cut, Cap and Balance.

What is the difference?

The Boehner plan only cuts $7 billion instead of $111 billion. It does not cap spending. It does not protect America’s credit rating. Boehner once again wants to haul up his freshly laundered white flag of surrender.

We cannot allow this to happen when we are so close to victory.

There are a number of undecided Congressmen. We need to get them to do the right thing and not back the Boehner budget surrender bill.

Here are the undecided (with District Number next to the name—my addition):

Call their offices, email them, send them messages on their twitter accounts. They committed to Cut, Cap and Balance which will take $111 billion from this year’s budget.

Instead Boehner wants to take a paltry $7 billion. Does anyone remember the budget debate? We were promised cuts of $100 billion and Boehner delivered a cut of $352 MILLION!

Victory is close but we must fight.

Let’s roll!”

THE MAJOR PROBLEM with the Boehner plan is that it does NOT CUT ENOUGH NOW!!! The 2011-2012 fiscal year budget should have no more than an ½ trillion dollar deficit. That means we MUST CUT 1 trillion dollars from the current budget for next year which begins October 1st. Budget cuts 10 years down the road ARE MEANINGLESS. A new Congress could change everything.

President Barack Hussein Obama does NOT want to set priorities. Either Congress does it or the President MUST do it if Congress does NOT raise the debt ceiling. Either way, we win! It would be political suicide for him NOT to pay social security, the military, debt payments, and other necessary obligations. We MUST END the unnecessary obligations. DON’T ALLOW SPENDOHOLICS to spend more money!!!
