Subject: URGENT: Call your Legislators NOW to Oppose Debt Ceiling Deal
To: dcattoni@aol.com
With the House and Senate trying to force a vote on the new debt ceiling deal, possibly tonight - before anyone has a chance to fully review it, we must take action RIGHT NOW to oppose this bill. This bill cuts $900 billion around the edges and has no Balanced Budget Amendment requirement. In addition, it creates a "Super Committee" that may very well push through tax increases.
Call your Congressman and Senators right now to oppose this bill, and demand that they Cut, Cap, and Balance instead.

Budget deal doesn't cut spending http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/budget-deal-doesnt-cut-spending/
What we do know is it contains a massive $2.4 trillion dollar increase in the debt ceiling.
It contains almost no immediate spending cuts.
The Deficit commission that is going to be created by this nightmare bill will be equally divided between six Democrats who want massive tax hikes and six Republicans.
The bill also calls for massive cuts in defense and allegedly in entitlements if the Deficit Commission is deadlocked or otherwise cannot come up with more budget cuts. The deficit commission will have the option of recommending tax hikes. The Bush tax cuts could be gone. Capital gains could be raised from 15% to 28%, destroying investment. Middle class deductions, such as home mortgage interest will be gone.
The worst part is it will give the Democrats the political cover they need. The GOP will not be able to pin this one on the Democrats because Boehner and McConnell brought this to the Republicans and the Republican House passed it!
According to sources, Boehner said the deal was 'the best that we could get.' In particular, he thanked the 87 freshman members for their input, without which 'we wouldn't have gotten this far.' ... Freshman Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R., Ind.) told NRO that with 'the most liberal president we've ever had' occupying the White House, the Tea Party and the conservative movement have done all right for themselves. 'I think the Tea Party needs to take credit for changing the dialogue in Washington to be about cutting spending,' he said. 'But whether I vote for this plan or not, it's not enough. This isn't the end of the fight.' ... Boehner told members he would like to vote on the plan as early as Monday night, and apologized for the short notice. Leaders will meet with the entire conference Monday to further discuss the details of the plan." --National Review's Andrew Stiles
