Government Shutdown

=====


Democrats willing to hurt the country for votes.


Republican leadership marched into the White House today and told President Obama the American people are fed up with wasteful spending, and they demanded REAL CUTS. The White House did not agree; they do not want to obey the will of the American people, they want a government shutdown - because they think they can blame it on Republicans and gain votes in the next election.

President Obama and Democrats are REFUSING to deal with reality and fix our budget...they WANT a government shutdown, so they can blame Republicans and try to keep Obama in the White House for four more years!

Republican leadership is standing firm against the big-spending Democrats right now, because of us...all of our efforts have strengthened their resolve - but they need our continued support.

Republicans are about to encounter a mass of resistance by Democrats and their media allies, because the government will be shut down Friday. We need your immediate help to FAX EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS and tell them we expect meaningful spending cuts, and we can accept a government shutdown if it means real change is possible with the federal budget. Make sure Congress knows we will hold big spending Democrats responsible for not passing a budget in 2010, and for stonewalling the efforts of Republicans to get our fiscal house in order.

Please send your Blast Faxes to Congress right now, as we expose the Democrat agenda and keep pressure on Congress to spend our tax dollars responsibly.

Democrats have been dragging their heels on a budget, because they think they can blame Republicans for a shutdown - just like they did in 1995. Republicans want to throw out all the wasteful spending Democrats have jammed in, and regrettably, Democrats would rather hurt the country than come to the table, willing to make sacrifices.

Democrats are incapable of explaining to Americans why they oppose incremental spending cuts that total $2 billion a week. They cannot defend their spending increases because they know they are wrong!

Under Barack Obama, government spending has increased 21.4%

Under Barack Obama, welfare spending has increased 54%

Under Barack Obama, the number of unemployed Americans is 13.9 MILLION

Barack Obama and his Democrat cronies could have passed a budget when they had complete control of both houses of Congress. They didn't need one Republican vote to do so, but they didn't - because their budget was full of pork that they knew the American people would not accept.

After they took a licking in the November, 2010 midterm elections, Democrats had to scramble to ram through last-minute, ridiculous legislation before Republicans came in and took over the House. That took their focus off the country's fiscal crisis and enabled them to pass the buck to the next Congress.

After failing to come to a deal with the President on Tuesday, Boehner said "the House will not be put in a box and forced to choose between two options that are bad for the country." Those two options are a government shutdown and inadequate spending cuts.


Democrats would rather fund NPR ... and Planned Parenthood ... and Cowboy Poetry Festivals. The Republicans need our support - and the every Member of Congress needs to know that if they ignore the will of the people and continue spending our country into oblivion, they will be OUT OF A JOB.

A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimate found over $200 billion in federal spending that could easily be trimmed. The GAO report identifies 34 areas where duplicate programs in the federal government are operated across agencies and bureaucracies, and 47 other areas where money could easily be saved.

WHY HASN'T CONGRESS MADE THESE CUTS?
