Liberals Held a Secret Meeting to Spend Billions We Must Fight Back

The liberals in Congress just won't stop. Now we have learned they are meeting in secret.

Ultra liberals in Congress are continuing to pull strings behind the scenes to give billions of dollars in taxpayer money to ACORN. They are working overtime to shove through billions and billions of dollars in wasteful spending to long term liberal special interest projects. They are doing this all under the continued guise of the stimulus package.

It is so bad that even when conservatives in Congress suggested cutting even a little money out of the so-called stimulus bill, Nancy Pelosi told the Washington Post that potential cuts, "do violence to the future."

That's right. Pelosi said that cutting wasteful spending out of their liberal bill does "violence" to the future.

We must try and stop her.

ACU is fighting back. We want to encourage those House Members, who under John Boehner, voted against the first so-called stimulus package. We want them to know that we don't want our taxpayer money going to ACORN. We want the liberals to know we are watching.

We have some won some fights as the so-called "stimulus" spending bill worked its way through Congress, but there is still more work to be done. We must re-double our efforts over the next few hours and days. We must be prepared to watch how any money approved is spent and hold the government accountable when they step out of line.

Just this morning we were notified by House Republican Leader John Boehner's office about a secret meeting that took place last night. That's right, last night - as we slept - liberal House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's staff and Leader Harry Reid's staff were meeting to hash out among themselves a final multi-billion dollar liberal spending package.There were no Republicans conferees present.

They are going to pass this under the title "stimulus." They want to claim victory.

They met in secret because they don't want us to know what is going on. But we found out.

Over the last few days we have seen a charm offensive from President Obama as he has slammed free market economics while at the same time calling for bipartisanship. But, as this secret meeting has shown, they have no real interest in true bipartisanship. They only want to spend more.

ACU is fighting back. We want to encourage those House Members, who under John Boehner, voted against the first so-called stimulus package. We want them to know that we don't want our taxpayer money going to ACORN. We want the liberals to know we are watching.

We have seen that the liberals who run Congress are really sending a message that they don't care what the American people think.

Polls including the Rasmussen's survey have shown in recent days that, "Two-thirds of the nation's voters (69%) lack confidence that Congress knows what it is doing when it comes to addressing the country's current economic problems. Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed said "No matter how bad things are, Congress can always find a way to make them worse." Most importantly 48% of U.S. voters say that, generally speaking, increased government spending is bad for the economy."

Yet the liberal Democrats in Congress are trying to ram through this close to trillion-dollar spending bill anyway.

We need your help to get it done.
