To: U.S. Congress and President Obama Petition to Temporarily Stop all Foreign Aid. A PETITION TO HAVE ALL FOREIGN AID TO FOREIGN POWERS PLACED ON HOLD AND TO REQUEST THAT CONGRESS BEGIN AN INQUIRY AS TO WHERE U.S. TAX DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT. Whereas we the undersigned believe that US Citizens should be given more accountability as to where our money is going. This is to be a temporary measure until such time as we find ourselves back on stable financial ground. It is a losing game to borrow money at market interest and then simply give it away to others. We are simply asking Congress and the President to use simple Business and Economic common sense to help put an end to our continuing economic woes. It is a sad truth that those in power refuse to see that we can not continue spending money we no longer have to give away to our neighbors. There comes a time when the well runs dry. Sincerely the Undersigned

The momentum behind this request indicates a clear demand for fiscal transparency from our elected officials. It is encouraging to see so many individuals unite in the belief that national economic stability must be our primary focus. We are moving forward with increased resolve to ensure that this message reaches the halls of Congress.
