Message I am sedning to the Congresscritters...


Let your colleagues know: Republicans in Texas are not happy with the overspending by the Congress
and the President. Quit spending so much money!

Republicans dont need to increase spending to maintain power because we didnt elect you to get pork,
WE ELECTED YOU TO KEEP GOVT SMALL. We elected you to be fiscal conservatives, not socialists.
In fact, the excessive spending is a sign the Republicans are going to 'blow it' and lose their majority.

The medicare bill - stuffed with extra spending that is not useful nor deserved; energy bill - pork and boondoggles
for non-productive and expensive alternative energies and ethanol that costs more to make than it is worth.
And now an expensive and over-spending onmibus bill. With each step, the Republican Congress is turning its
back on our Republican platform and on our fiscal conservative values.
I know you've voted against most of this junk anyway, but it is getting way out of control.
CUT THE SPENDING - NOW!!!

Dont pass the budget busting spending bill. VOTE NO, until the budget caps are back in place and adhered to.
Here's a better way - demand all five items first before you vote yes:
1. Pass the Brady Sunset Act.
2. Pass the 15% Fiscal Restraint Act, which cuts the deficits - on the spending side only: No spending overall above inflation and population
growth until Federal spending is no bigger than 15% of GNP.
3. Give the President a line-item veto - and demand he uses it.
4. Get the pork out of the onmibus spending bill. It's an outrage!
5. Cut the over bill to be an increase of 4% or less in every domestic agency. No more.

If the Republicans act like Liberal Democrats and spend like there's no tomorrow ...
their voter base is going to melt away like snow in San Antonio!

This guy is right! Government spending is out of control! It's long past time to elect some conservative Republicans to restore fiscal sanity to our government!

Er, um.....that is to say, uh, I mean, ahhh, do de doo de doo, dum de dum, nothing to see here folks. Just move along, keep your heads down, and vote Republican for Responsible Government!

Yeah, that's the ticket.....

The saying goes, "Democrats are paving the way to socialism. Republicans are not far behind them."
