It means our elected leaders in Washington are the problem.

The debt deal has been made and now Congress has adjourned for the August
recess. I wish I could tell you that our principles prevailed, but they
didn't and there's no honest way to put a happy face on the outcome.
The final agreement, which the President signed into law yesterday:
* Raises the debt limit by as much as $2.4 trillion;
* Allows the debt to continue to grow by $7 trillion over the next decade;
* Creates a new, 12-member "super-committee" with the power to force major
tax increases through Congress;
* Threatens our AAA bond rating; and
* Never balances the budget
_Washington is addicted to spending and it's a bipartisan addiction_. The
debt deal passed the Senate with 74 votes -- 46 Democrats and 28
Republicans. You can see the full results at [3]SenateConservatives.com.

Some of you are outraged. Many are discouraged. In fact, a number of you
have emailed me asking what this means for our cause, where we go from here,
and what we should do next.
I believe it confirms that many of our elected leaders in Washington are the
problem, and the only effective strategy to solve it is to _elect new
senators who truly share our values and have the courage to fight for them_.
You helped us do exactly this last year and I'm proud to report that all
five of our 2010 winners voted against the debt agreement. These men stood
shoulder-to-shoulder throughout this debate and fought for a balanced
budget.
If you have time, please take a few minutes today to call their offices to
thank them for their courage and to urge them to keep fighting. Taking a
stand like they did can be isolating at times and it's critical they know
patriots like you are standing with them.
* Pat Toomey (R-PA) -- (202) 224-4254
* Marco Rubio (R-FL) -- (202) 224-3041
* Rand Paul (R-KY) -- (202) 224-4343
* Mike Lee (R-UT) -- (202) 224-5444
* Ron Johnson (R-WI) -- (202) 224-5323
I am also happy to report that both of the U.S. Senate candidates we have
endorsed for 2012 -- Ohio State Treasurer _Josh Mandel_ (R-OH) and former
Texas Solicitor General _Ted Cruz_ (R-TX) -- publicly opposed the debt deal.
Conservatives fought for the right policies throughout this debate and
forced the President and the entire Washington establishment to respond to
our arguments. Our opponents even felt compelled to parrot our message of
less spending.
_Our strategy of electing rock-solid leaders to the Senate is working. Now
we need to expand it so the policies enacted in Washington actually match
the rhetoric coming out of it._
The awful outcome of this debate is discouraging, but it makes me want to
work harder than ever to elect more leaders who have the courage to balance
the budget. We can bring real change to Washington but it means changing the
people we send there.
I hope you will continue to be a part of our team and help us recruit more
Americans who will help us take our country back.
Respectfully,
Jim DeMint
