The proposal was officially withdrawn today which is honestly something I never thought I would see happen. This win belongs to all of you who spoke up and held them to their promises. Let us enjoy this moment but stay watchful to ensure they keep their word.

To the Republican Leadership:


The Tea Party swept you into power in Washington with the promise you would cut government.  


You promised you would not raise taxes.  Now, instead of raising taxes, you are talking about raising revenues.  It is the same thing.


We the undersigned, who also happen to be your employers, are not happy.  We want to see the size of government reduced.  We want to see spending reduced.  We want to see revenue remain in the hands of citizens and not in the hands of a bloated and oversized government.


We do not want any revenue increases.  Instead, we want the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud and duplication that has been identified by the Government Accounting Office to be eliminated.  


We want porkbarrel projects eliminated.   We want government programs that do not work or that only exist to help politicians get reelected, eliminated.


In short, we want you to do the job you promised to do when we elected you.

I set this up hoping for a handful of people to notice but I am honestly stunned by how many of you feel the exact same way. This momentum belongs entirely to you because you were the ones who decided this message needed to travel further than I ever imagined.

Enough is enough. My paycheck is already shrinking and these people act like the well never runs dry.

We elected you to slash spending not to find new ways to take more from families. Do your jobs!
