Cut, Cap & Balance

Who, in their right mind, would oppose the Balanced Budget Amendment? (OK, I know you know the answer to the question.)


An Amendment that would force the Government to live with in their means.


Here is the pledge of the Cut, Cap & Balance idea, brought to you by Congressmen Dan Benishek, R [MI-1].





THE PLEDGE

I pledge to 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.

The Amendment part of this pledge is a must for the future of our country.
It limits government to abuse and will ensure that we can pass down to our children and our children's, children, a country that we were born in to.


For America has a new video out to spread the word.
Will you?
Won't you?
Spread the Word, and sign the pledge?
