Countdown to spending sell-out

Dear Erick, Earlier today, the Senate rejected proposals from both Republicans and Democrats to stop the automatic budget cuts set to go into effect at midnight on Friday. While the Democrat plan would have raised taxes on high earners, the "alternative" some Republicans were pushing would have handed over Congress' power of the purse directly to the President! Legislators in D.C. are scrambling over $85 billion in cuts in the rate of growth in spending, only $44 billion of which will be implemented this year. Under the "sequester," instead of increasing spending by $1.7 trillion over the next ten years, spending will increase by $1.6 trillion. Remember, the President's budget proposal for FY 2013 was $3.8 trillion. These "cuts" won't even cover how much the federal government will borrow in one month alone! As I wrote to you earlier today, House and Senate leaders are expected to meet with President Obama this Friday to discuss a way to avoid even these drop-in-the-bucket cuts. It's already become crystal clear this year how fast Republican "leaders" have been willing to sell taxpayers down the river. So I need your help to make sure they and their colleagues on Capitol Hill receive one LOUD message from the American people - get serious and enact REAL CUTS, RIGHT NOW! If you haven't already, I hope you'll join C4L in demanding an end to the federal government's out-of-control spending by signing your REAL CUTS, RIGHT NOW petition. And if you've already signed it, I hope you'll pass it along to your contacts to help grow our numbers on this crucial issue. As usual, stay tuned to CampaignForLiberty.org and our Facebook and Twitter pages for the latest developments on the spending fight and other critical matters facing liberty-minded Americans. In Liberty, John Tate President P.S. Earlier today, the Senate rejected proposals from both Republicans and Democrats to avoid the automatic budget cuts set to go into effect at midnight on Friday. But these "cuts" are only in the rate of spending's growth and won't even cover what the government will borrow in a month! If you agree it's time for legislators to get serious and enact legitimate reforms, please sign our REAL CUTS, RIGHT NOW petition today and pass it along to your contacts! And if you can, any financial support you can give C4L at this time - even $10 or $15 - will go a long way toward expanding our efforts on the frontlines of the fight for liberty.
