Stand up to the Super Committee

Dear Patriot,

Forget what you’ve read online or in the papers.  The Congressional Super-Committee hasn’t failed.  It hasn’t succeeded either.
 
The real story is that it is just business as usual in Washington.  The politicians are still spending more and more and aren’t interested in cutting down the size of government.  This Super Committee nonsense is just a gimmick to make Americans think Congress is actually trying to rein in spending.
 
But nothing could be further from the truth.   So, We the People need to continue to hold the politicians’ feet to the fire.
 
 
And please contact each member of the Super Committee.  Tell them to get serious about cutting government!
 
As you read this, members of this Super Committee are still trying to cut a “bipartisan” deal that will allow the politicians to keep spending.
 
They are using budget gimmicks like pretending they are cutting spending when they are actually raising it.
 
They are considering hiking taxes while calling these job-killing measures “revenue enhancements.”
 
And they are even seriously contemplating not cutting any spending at all and ignoring the “required” cuts that both Obama and the Republicans agreed to last summer!
 
We the People demand REAL cuts and no tax hikes.  And we demand them NOW!
 
This Super Committee is a complete disaster.   
 
The politicians can’t even agree to cut a tiny fraction of the growth in government spending.  So members of the Tea Party movement must make our voices heard.
 
 
Our nation is at a crossroads.  If we don’t cut spending now, our economy may be doomed.  Each dollar that the federal government takes out the economy and wastes on bureaucracy costs us dearly.  It kills jobs and undermines economic growth. 
 
That’s why this terrible economic depression keeps going.  America will never recover if the federal government keeps spending.
 
Please make an urgent contribution to Tea Party Patriots right away.  And tell the members of the Super Committee to make REAL and DEEP cuts without raising taxes!
 
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,

Jenny Beth Martin
Co-Founder and National Coordinator

We have our weekly Nationwide Leadership Council Call Mondays at 9:00 pm eastern. Use the following link to participate:
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/271141385


 The password to get into the webinar can be found in the "Login Information" section above.

Not sure if you are a member of the Nationwide Leadership Council? 
Are you a local coordinator of a local tea party or 912 groups?  Then you are a member of the Nationwide Leadership Council.

Why do we have these calls each week?
Tea Party Patriots is a grassroots, bottom-up organization. Our best ideas come from thelocal coordinators and grassroots supporters.  Before deciding on a national course of action unless it is extremely time sensitive information, Tea Party Patriots National Coordinators run ideas by the Local Coordinators and Nationwide Leadership Council for refinement and approval.

What happens on the call?  
Generally, in the first 30 minutes the National Coordinators give an update from the national scene, announcements are made, proposed projects are thrown out, and legislative updates are given.  We do our very best to get the announcements out of the way in the very beginning.  Next, we discuss any upcoming projects or ideas.  This is an open discussion and anyone can participate in it and all are encouraged to do so.  Then we open the call for general questions.  You can ask any question here that you need answered.  We also do polls to get your feedback during the call and so you can see what others are thinking as well.

How do I participate?  We use gotowebinar for these calls.  You can listen from your phone or from the speakers on your computer. 
For Go to Webinar:
You need to register for the call by filling out this form: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/271141385

  • After filling out the form, you will receive an email with a link to join the call.

instaPoll: Should the Administration approve construction plans of the XL pipeline running from Canada to Texas to create jobs and provide U.S. energy security?

Congressman Randy Forbes

Send me an email | Forward to a Friend

 

Last week, the Administration announced that it would delay approval of the TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL $7 billion pipeline, which would carry 700,000 barrels of crude oil a day from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Texas.  Such a large quantity of oil would reduce the United States' dependence on oil from nations that often do not share our nation's interests, such as those in the Middle East and South America.  In response to the Administration's delay, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and announced that Canada is considering the sale of its crude oil in the Asian market.  Such a move, which is in direct response to the Administration's inaction, could hurt the creation of new American jobs and jeopardize future energy security. 

Question of the Week: Should the Administration approve construction plans of the XL pipeline running from Canada to Texas to create jobs and provide U.S. energy security?

(  ) Yes
(  ) No
(  ) I am unsure.
(  ) Other. (Share your thoughts on my blog)

Countdown:
Less than 24 Hours


We are now less than 24 hours away from the start of Deal in the District. Have you RSVP'd yet? We are in a critical situation. The Senate hasn't passed a budget in over 900 days, the Super Committee is set to release their deficit reduction plan next week, and we are expecting more of the same. Budget gimmicks that allow them to claim spending cuts will not cut it, we are demanding REAL CUTS in spending. This is the time to show up. Tell your family and your friends the time to stand up for America is now. For details of the activities and materials for tomorrow, see the information below.
 
No more gimmicks. No more lies.
Make REAL CUTS and prioritize.
 
Still need the details? Here you go. 
(Click here for more information)

  • Date: Thursday, November 17, 2011.
  • Time: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. (in your local time zone).
    Note: Please visit the office at any time on Thursday if you can’t go at noon.
  • Location: Your local Representative’s office. (Click here to find yours)
 
You're in? Here are the steps you need to take.
  1. RSVP here.
  2. Send this Deal in the District page to your members, friends, neighbors, family, etc. 
  3. Learn about what REAL CUTS look like here, before you visit your Congressman. There are materials and resources on this page that you can download and print out.
  4. Spread the word about this event on Facebook and Twitter. Use the hashtag #realcuts if you are tweeting about the event.
 
Don't Forget...
  • We want REAL spending cuts. No more gimmicks, no more lies. Make REAL CUTS and prioritize!
  • Increasing spending more slowly than someone else is still increasing spending.
  • When you increase spending by $5 and then cut $3, you haven’t made a cut. Your total spending is still $2 higher than it was before. This is a gimmick. Stop it. Now.
  • If you say you’re cutting $3, then cut $3. This year. (And in case it’s not clear to your Rep., $3 is an example. A whole lot more than $3 needs to be cut!)
  • All of the so-called cuts passed by Congress always get spread out over ten years, but this Congress has no authority over the next Congress and those cuts from this year can easily be overturned. Therefore, real cuts are cuts that occur within in the same fiscal year.
  • Our country’s national debt has now surpassed our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Now is the time for real cuts, not fake cuts.
  • We see what is happening to Greece and Italy, and to the Eurozone in general. It is the responsibility of elected officials to make REAL CUTS now.
