The inauguration is over and the new Congress has been sworn in and it is time now to get back to work. It is time for them to get to work!
Today we are calling Congress for 2 reasons.
First, the Republicans in the House are going to vote tomorrow to extend the debt limit for 3 months while they try to come up with a plan to combat the Democrats. This plan is said to include a stipulation they are calling, “no budget, no pay.” In essence, if the Senate fails to pass a budget, then they won’t get paid.
While we understand the strategy of Republicans, we must stay on target with our message that Washington needs to get serious about the overspending problem and debt crisis. Since fiscal responsibility is one of our core values, we must insist that Washington stop kicking the can down the road, even if it is for 3 more months.
Even if your Representative is a Democrat, they need to hear why you want the overspending to stop now!
Second, Congress will be back home for a district work week from January 28th – February 2nd. We need you to call your Representative and ask themWHEN they will be having a town hall meeting next week. This is very important! If they say they won't be having a town hall meeting then ask to set up an appointment to meet with them as a group or individually.Be cordial and insistent and stay on the line until they confirm a town hall or a private meeting.
Call to Action:
- Call Congress and tell them to stop kicking the can down the road. It is time to get serious about solving our overspending problem.
- Ask them when they will be having town hall meetings next week. If they aren’t having one, ask for a private meeting. There are too many serious issues coming up and they need to hear from you.
Thank you for continuing the fight!
