tell the Budget Committee to Cut Spending Now

Rachel Maddow had the nerve to say spending cuts are "redistribution of wealth".

The left is going to fight in exponential proportion to the spending cuts. Small cuts are already raising thuggery. Large cuts like we need are going to cause massive riots I think.

But let the chips fall where they may. We either cut spending or the economy dies for good.

We need to do this however (the large cuts) our sovereignty depends upon it.

Personally, I think it is going to get nasty because those babies losing their candy will do more than cry.

Now off to buy a cleaning rod and oil.

Let them riot, cut the friggin budget until ALL THE DEBT IS GONE!!! Then Pass laws making it illegal for the federal gangsta to raise money or borrow money ever..all taxes would be collected by states and allocated to the fed gangsta as the people would allow, ie, border protection, and military..
No more world police crap, take the war powers act away from the president and require a vote in Congress, as well as a vote with the states Govenors..States would have to be mandated to balance their budgets every year w/o borrowing ever..cut the hands off of thee crack head gansta government for good..so they know, who is your daddy and what does he do, answer your Daddy is we the people, and you do what we want you to..

Start with spending outside the borders of this country. Unless of course all this is not about spending.

“We’re not democraps....we WORK for a living!”

Valid point but unfortunately there are not many legislators on Capitol Hill on weekends. Some of us who work in the area will be taking time off to attend. IMO this small sacrifice is worth it.

“We either cut spending or the economy dies for good.”

That’s pretty much what it all boils down to. The nation is on the edge of insolvency and ruination.

Info on buses from VA:

Cut Spending Now! - Join AFP in DC on April 6th

Our nation is at a crossroads and we need to take action to ensure that our legislators make the right decisions. They need to take the first step toward financial stability and Cut Spending Now. We cut our own family budgets when times are tough, just as they are now. Shouldn’t Washington do the same and stop adding to the national debt at the tune of billions of dollars a day?

Please join Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, and Americans for Prosperity this Wednesday, April 6th in Washington, DC to tell the Budget Committee to Cut Spending Now. They need to hear from you as they crunch numbers and grapple with the next biennial budget. They need to know that we are seriously expecting them to make substantial cuts so that the national budget can be balanced, just as we all do with our personal finances.

You can find a bus to take you to DC from Christiansburg, Roanoke, Staunton, Harrisonburg, Strasburg, and Newport News.

Thanks for posting this logistics info. I know a bunch of people in Maryland and Virginia who will be attending for sure. This could be a good turnout — at a critical time.
