CUT THE RHETORIC AND STOP SPENDING - 'NO' TO ANY INCREASE IN THE 'DEBT CEILING'

Our Only Chance To Stop
Obama's Debt Ceiling Increase...
URGENT: The House of Representatives Wednesday approved a resolution rejecting Barack Obama's request for yet another $1.2 trillion increase to the debt ceiling. If the Senate follows suit, Obama's debt ceiling increase can be stopped.
First things first... Thank You! Your faxes, phone calls and letters are working. All but one Republican in the House of Representatives were joined by six Democrats in telling Barack Obama "NO MORE DEBT!"
But now is not the time to get complacent. We must now turn up the heat on the Senate. Because, thanks to the bogus debt ceiling "deal" Congressional Republicans struck with Obama and Harry Reid back in August, if the Senate doesn't act, the debt ceiling will be raised... Automatically.

America's mounting debt is bankrupting our great nation. It's time to stop the reckless spending once and for all.
Barack Obama is demanding Congress fork over another $1.2 TRILLION DOLLARS of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to raise the nation's debt ceiling to a staggering $16.4 TRILLION...
...That's more than $52,000 in debt for every man, woman and child in the United States!
In other words, Obama wants to fund even more of his radical big-government agenda on the backs of our children... our grandchildren... and even our grandchildren's children.
And the liberal mainstream media is already reporting that the vote in the House to reject Obama's debt ceiling increase request was meaningless... That it is dead on arrival in the Senate... And that even some Senate Republicans are all too willing to go along with the massive increase to Obama's credit limit.
Well, not if we have anything to do about it. It's time for the American people to draw a line in the sand. Just as everyday Americans have been forced to cut our family budgets in this Obama economy, so too must the federal government. And if the politicians in Washington refuse to heed our will, we will find replacements who will.
No more dog and pony shows. No more empty promises by so-called conservative leaders in Congress. No more increases to the debt ceiling...PERIOD!
There's No Time to Waste...
Despite the House vote, the Obama administration already is arrogantly claiming victory. That's because under the bogus debt ceiling "deal" that the Republican leadership struck against the wishes of the American people back in August, unless BOTH the House and Senate pass a so-called "resolution of disapproval" denying Obama's request, it happens automatically...
As Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C). recently said,
"The deal we cut in August: that's a joke. ...I do have some anger with my own leadership. ...I know that I am not alone."
And now, Obama and the big-government politicians in Congress are banking on the idea that you are tired and have no stomach for the fight... That the American people will just shrug their shoulders, sit on their hands and let them get away will mortgaging away our nation's future.
We must prove them wrong and we must do it right now.
America's debt is now larger than our country's entire annual economic productivity. Adding 1.2 trillion dollars to our already staggering 15.2 trillion dollar current debt makes no sense. It's economic suicide. Washington must not get the green light to spend more money that we don't have.
When is Enough Enough?
In 1940, our nation's "debt ceiling" was set at $40 billion. Ten years later, it was $275 billion. Another ten years later: $293 billion.
Then... Congress just started raising the debt ceiling every single year, and sometimes more than once during a single year.
  • 1970: $395 billion
  • 1980: $925 billion (then again, to $935 billion) 
  • 1990: $3.195 trillion (then again, to $3.23 trillion; then AGAIN, to $4.15 trillion)
  • 2000: $5.95 trillion
  • 2010: $14.294 trillion
NOTICE A TREND HERE?
America's debt ceiling has now been raised THREE times under Obama's presidency in as many years and if Obama gets his way, we will add more to the national debt under this president than every president before him...COMBINED! Just think about that for a moment.
It is simply not sustainable. Our nation's future is at stake. And if the politicians in Washington keep spending like drunken sailors, the United States of America will become the next Greece.
You know it, Barack Obama knows it and the Congress knows it...
In fact, upon receiving Obama's latest request to raise the debt ceiling, Brendan Buck, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, said:
"Washington's mounting debt is a drag on our economic recovery, and this request is another reminder that the president has consistently punted on the tough choices needed to rein in the deficit and protect important programs for American seniors from going bankrupt."
But to be totally frank, TALK IS CHEAP. The House has done its part and, now, there is no excuse for the Senate not to follow suit. We have been duped too many times. It's no longer enough for our so-called conservative leaders to talk a good game then cave in to Obama's demands.
The time is now for the Senate to join the House in saying "NO MORE!" And it is up to us to make sure that happens... right here and right now.
