Vote Now On Our Tea Party Debt Commission!






Dear Londa,



Whether it's President Obama's "National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform" or the new "super committee" formed in the debt ceiling deal, politicians have become very good at promising to cut spending and then trying to raise taxes.



That's why I need you to join our Tea Party Debt Commission and vote now to tell Washington what America wants to cut. For example, which spending cut would you prioritize here?



Back in 2010 we helped organize and implement the Contract From America, a grassroots-generated candidate pledge voted on by hundreds of thousands of activists across America. Instead of Washington dictating policy, Americans demanded that candidates sign their ten-point plan for fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets. Isn't that the way it should be?



That's why I'm proud to invite you to join our new Tea Party Debt Commission, which over the next several months will be holding grassroots activist hearings around the country and developing a plan that, at a minimum, cuts $9 trillion and balances the budget.



To replicate the success of the Contract From America, the results of our new Tea Party Debt Commission are determined by YOUR votes. So today I'm asking that you vote right now to help us determine which cuts to make.



The mainstream media often claims that the Tea Party movement says it wants to cut spending but lacks a coherent plan. You and I know that's not true. The Tea Party Debt Commission is proof—not just that we are serious about cutting spending—but that we are ready to demand that Washington implements our plan.



For far too long, average Americans have been unable to exert enough influence on politicians to counter the entrenched interests that perpetuate bloated budgets. The Tea Party Debt Commission changes that, showing legislators that when they have the courage to cut spending we'll have their backs.



When the media asks, ‘what would the Tea Party cut,' we will have an answer. When the "super committee" struggles to eliminate wasteful programs, we will do their work for them and hand them a list of our priorities. After all, if you take politics and lobbyists out of the equation, cutting spending is not that difficult. Average citizens balance a budget and set spending priorities every day.



Thomas Jefferson once said that the citizenry is "the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." Help us prove that he was right. Join now.



Thank you.



In Liberty,
