Tell Congress to Stop Bankrupting our Country!

by: the american conservative union | published: 03 10, 2009

This week the Senate is debating the $410 billion omnibus spending bill that passed the House last week. With the federal government already throwing trillions of dollars around to bail out banks and irresponsible homeowners, and to pass a so-called "stimulus" bill, you would think that they couldn't possibly spend more. But that is clearly not the case.

Liberals in Congress are pushing for a massive, pork-laden omnibus bill that would add to the deficit and waste more taxpayer dollars on things like $245 million for groups like ACORN! House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has rightly called on taxpayers to jam the Senate phone lines this week to stop the omnibus bill from passing. Already, Democrat Senators Russ Feingold and Evan Bayh have said that they will vote against the bill. We need to encourage more Senators to follow their lead and reject this massive, wasteful government spending bill that is only pushing us further toward bankruptcy.

Take Action Now by calling your Senators and urging them to vote against the $410 billion omnibus! We are especially focusing on getting calls into the following Senators:

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA)
866-960-8136 and 866-957-9058

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
866-956-3904

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
866-948-4128

The Tax Revolt Continues

As you may have heard, taxpayers are revolting across the country, organizing "taxpayer tea parties" in more than 100 cities and towns.. FreedomWorks has been organizing many of these "tea parties" and we are listing the details on our website IamWithRick.com

If you visit the website, you can rsvp for an event near you, and you can download guidelines to organizing a tea party in your home town if there isn't one being planned already.

Together we can send a shock wave through the country, with thousands of people in the streets, outside post offices, county courthouses and state capitol buildings. If we move together as one force, we can educate the public about what is happening to our country, and we can identify thousands of people who may want to get involved in FreedomWorks.

But we need your help to organize these tea parties across the nation.. Please visit IamWithRick.com today and find out how you can organize one of the hundreds of tea parties taking place around the country.
