PLEASE COMPLETE SURVEY FOR COST CUTTING IN OUR GOVERNMENT

Dear Conservatives,

Have you seen the latest reports?  They show that the national debt has reached a mind-numbing $14.6 trillion, and by the end of fiscal year 2011, the federal deficit is projected to set yet another all-time record of $1.5 trillion.  That means America is sinking $2.3 million deeper into debt every minute of the day! 

To help us combat this unprecedented threat to our nation’s finances, I urge you to take CAGW’sNational Survey to Save America from Bankruptcy.  This CAGW survey features 15 proposed budget cuts that combined could save taxpayers more than $90 billion. 

The recommendations include:

• Returning $45 billion in unused “Economic Stimulus” funds to the U.S. Treasury;
• Eliminating federal control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which would save $30 billion;
• Ending Amtrak subsidies, which would save $1.6 billion each year; and,
• Repealing the Depression-era Davis Bacon Act, which by requiring union wages drives up the cost of federal construction projects by more than $1 billion annually.

Please tell us which of these money-savers you support.  Your input is extremely important right now because the forces of big government are entrenched, very powerful, and still dismissing the idea that the American people will no longer allow Washington to pile crushing debt on our shoulders and those of our children and grandchildren.

To stop America’s headlong rush toward bankruptcy will require a continuing and escalating outcry from citizens in every part of the country for Washington to immediately slash the size of government and the deficit. 

Your survey is exactly the type of concrete evidence we need to show the overwhelming public demand for Congress to cut spending and balance the federal budget.

By filling out CAGW’s National Survey to Save America from Bankruptcy, you will make your voice heard in Washington, With this demonstration of your support for these vital spending cuts, I know we can win the more than $90 billion in savings represented in this survey.

Help us finally break the back of the establishment forces in Washington by demonstrating that Americans will no longer tolerate outmoded and wasteful federal programs, like the $1.2 billion doled out each year in sugar subsidies. 

If you take a few moments to complete CAGW’s National Survey to Save America from Bankruptcy, you will be voicing your opinion not only to CAGW, but to the big spenders in Washington.  CAGW will tabulate and publicize the results of this survey, helping build important pressure for these much needed spending cuts.

Help us make the case for deep spending cuts and save America from bankruptcy by taking our survey today.

Sincerely, 

Thomas A. Schatz
President, CAGW
