Dear Taxpayer,
Will you join me in taking a
stand in the first major policy battle of President Obama's
Administration?
Stop the Pelosi-Reid-Obama
Trillion Dollar Spending Bill, Sign Our Online NO Stimulus Petition
TODAY- Click Here
Earlier today in the U.S. Senate
we suffered a difficult defeat as the $838 billion senate version of
the Pelosi-Reid-Obama spending bill passed the senate with 61 votes.
While today's vote is a disappointing setback we cannot be
discouraged. Much of this fight still lies ahead in the next few days.
Despite today’s passage
in the Senate, this fight is far from over!
The bill will still have to go to
conference to work out differences between the House and Senate
versions, before coming back to both chambers for another vote. They
will fight to add back as much pork as possible, including brand new
pork not in either the House or Senate version.
You can fight back today by clicking here
and joining the growing army of taxpayers saying NO by signing
Americans for Prosperity's petition to stop this disastrous
trillion-dollar debt scheme.
We've got to keep raising
awareness and increase the pressure against this spending and debt
outrage. Thanks to the help of our signers forwarding this to their
friends and family, calling talk radio, and promoting it on the
internet, we've blown past 200,000 signed petitions!
Just what is wrong with this bill?
- Under the auspices of a “Comparative
Effectiveness Review” the package heavily funds the first steps towards
the government-mandated rationing of health care and tramples your
right to medical privacy.
- The so-called “Stimulus Package” is being sold
to taxpayers as an investment in useful infrastructure like roads and
bridges. But the facts prove otherwise. Only 3.6% of the
scheme’s $838 billion price tag would actually go to real,
practical infrastructure projects--roads and bridges.
- This trillion-dollar debt and spending scheme
will provide little or no stimulus, but will put each and every
American household in at least $6,700 of new debt, to be paid by our
children and grandchildren.
It is critical that we send a loud
and clear message to DC politicians that ordinary citizens simply
cannot afford the crushing burden and devastating consequences of this
initiative.
Please act now to make your voice
heard -- and encourage your friends and family to do the same -- by
signing AFP's petition here.
Sincerely,
