Petition to Congress:
"Cut, Cap and Balance" To Stop Runaway
Government Spending And Debt
A strong coalition of grassroots organizations and members of
Congress are uniting behind a straightforward solution to
runaway government spending and debt: "Cut, Cap and Balance!"
Cut, Cap and Balance is similar to Grassfire Nation’s "Cap, Cut
and Grow" petition launched last year, but adds the specific
requirement of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the current debate
of raising the debt ceiling. Please sign the petition and
encourage your friends to sign as well and have your voice heard
on this crucial issue.
Petition States:
I urge
my Senators and Member of the House of Representatives to oppose
any debt limit increase unless all three of the following
conditions have been met:
|
| 1. |
Cut - Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and
thereafter. |
|
| 2. |
Cap - Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a
balanced budget. |
|
|
3. |
Balance - Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution -- but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a
super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and
expenses. |
