Stop Liberal ACORN, Debt Authorizing, Government-Run Health Care & Stimulus Spending Attempts

Washington spending has gotten out-of-control.  I know you have heard this before.  But, nothing - nothing - compares to what is happening now.

 

Americans are waking up to it.  The latest poll numbers from Gallup and Quinnipiac tracking polls show Obama and Pelosi's numbers are at an all-time low.    Barack Obama's job approval is at 47% according to Gallup; 46% approve and 44% disapprove according to Quinnipiac.  New poll numbers show that only 38% support the liberal's health care bill, while 52% disapprove - what we have been saying all along.

 

Now it is time to send a strong message to Congress that the spending must stop.  We need to focus on our deficit and our debt.

 

We have them on the ropes.  Congress needs to feel the heat - right now.

Liberal Democrats are trying to push through more stimulus and send through final passage of their massive government-run health care bill.  Congress needs to feel the heat before they give into liberal attempts to keep millions and millions of dollars in funding to ACORN.  That's right,  the liberals are trying to get more money back into ACORN's coffers.

 

We must stop the liberal's spending agenda in its tracks!

 

I am not sure if you have heard about the latest about ACORN funding attempts.

On Wednesday of this week, House Republican Leader John Boehner said, "Months later, with the country's focus on jobs, healthcare, and the Global War on Terror, Democrats are moving to [fund]  ACORN."

 

Remember we had told you before that ACORN was never fully de-funded.  Now liberals are trying to roll back even the initial progress we have started to make.

An analysis of federal data by the Office of the Republican Leader staff determined that ACORN has received more than $53 million in direct funding from the federal government since 1994, and has likely received substantially more indirectly through states and localities that receive federal block grants.

 

This latest attempt at funding comes on the heels of an "internal audit" by ACORN. They did it to try and absolve themselves of any wrongdoing.  You probably heard about this in the news media.  This is ACORN's attempt to say "nothing is wrong here folks" so they can go back to feeding from the public trough.

 

We must fight back and tell Congress: NO MORE ACORN FUNDING. 

Sign the Petition:  Don't fund ACORN.  Don't fund a $1 trillion taxpayer-funded government health care plan.  Don't increase the nation's debt limit.  Don't spend more money on so-called stimulus plans.

 

Just look at what has happened over the last several months in Washington.

 

The Heritage Foundation reports that since Nancy Pelosi took the gavel as speaker, overall discretionary spending has jumped 25%.

 

Had the liberals just limited themselves a bit - and allowed government to grow at the rate of inflation instead of running away with the taxpayer's checkbook - we would have saved more than $561 billion in federal spending. 

 

 

And guess what else the liberal politicians have done. 

Not only have they spent billions and billions on pet liberal earmark projects, they actually increased their own personal Congressional office budgets by 8.4% --- while our economy is hurting, people are out of work and our national debt is on the rise, they saw fit to give themselves more money in their own budgets.

 

 

Yesterday the liberal Democrat majority spent even more of our money.

 

In a vote where every single Republican Congressman and 28 Democrats voted no, the liberals proceeded to pass another spending bill for $447 billion.

This latest liberal spending measure contained more than 5,000 earmarks. The Washington Post quoted Congressman Jerry Lewis (Calif.), the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee saying, "There is no question that the era of big government has returned to Washington, D.C."

Now, even the liberals are beginning to face heat as new poll numbers show they are on the precipice of losing their majority and severely undercutting Obama's approval. 

We have them on the ropes...

USA Today newspaper contained a story indicating that the number of federal bureaucrats making more than $100,000 a year jumped by more than 35% during the latest period of recession.

At the beginning of the recession, in the Department of Transportation alone,  one person made $170,000 a year but now - just eighteen months later - more than 1,690 employees make that amount. "The average federal bureaucrats wage is now $71,206, compared with $40,331 in the private sector," USA Today reported. 

The American Federation of Government Employees union after the elections in 2008 said in their annual meeting, "Between 2006 and 2008, we were able to increase our political spending a whopping 33 percent."  Then they said, "I do want to give a shout out to some AFGE leaders and activists who went far above and beyond the call of duty to elect Barack Obama president and expand our congressional majorities."

We should not be surprised that the AFGE and other government labor unions supported the stimulus bill and are encouraging more government spending.   It is their political pay-back.

Just like the auto unions who received a Presidential Obama bailout, these unions are benefiting from unprecented liberal Democrat spending. 

We need to shine the light and put the brakes on the spending and the political pay-backs.

Send a Message, Here and Now: Don't fund ACORN.  Don't fund a $1 trillion taxpayer-funded government health care plan.  Don't increase the nation's debt limit.  Don't spend more money on so-called stimulus plans. 

I am sure you have already heard, the liberal Democrats are now trying to raise the nation's debt ceiling limit to fuel their spending.

The Washington Examiner newspaper reported, "Democrats next week will introduce legislation to raise the nation's debt ceiling by as much as a staggering $1.8 trillion."

This would raise the ability for Congress to spend us further into debt by up to 15% for a total of another $1.925 trillion more in government debt.

The total amount then, all combined, that Obama's government could borrow would be $14 trillion - after we have already indebted ourselves to other nation's like China.

And, there is more talk about additional stimulus spending or re-using TARP bank bailout funds for more unproductive stimulus spending.  So-called stimulus spending has done nothing but send us further into debt while our nation's unemployment rate has risen literally 47% higher since Obama's election in November of 2008.

Congress needs to hear our voice: stop throwing good money after bad.

Send a Message, Here and Now.  Sign the Petition:  Don't fund ACORN.  Don't fund a $1 trillion taxpayer-funded government health care plan.  Don't increase the nation's debt limit.  Don't spend more money on so-called stimulus plans.

Don't forget that all of the debt must be paid back and we are just beginning to hear about the liberal's plans for tax increases.

Just last week ACU fought back as the House voted to send the Senate legislation to keep the Death Tax in place.  The vote received very little press attention.  We are going to continue to fight this as it works its way through the Senate.

Pelosi and Reid's government-run health care schemes both contain huge tax increases and threaten to spend our nation further and further into debt for years to come.

We cannot afford the debt that Obama, Pelosi and Reid are placing on us, our families and future generations to come.

We need to send a strong, united message, now.

Help us send this message today by signing the Petition, here and now.
The spending must stop.
