DEMAND A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT - STOP OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING

Dear Conservatives,

During Obama's tenure in office, our national debt has nearly doubled.

They've been spending money we don't have for so long, some economists are beginning to question not if the U.S. will ultimately have to declare bankruptcy, but when.

Of course, the "solution" to our ongoing fiscal disaster put forward by President Obama is to tax ourselves out of the hole, all the while claiming that there's nothing left to cut.

That's why I hope you will sign your petitions for the National League of Taxpayers' Balanced Budget Amendment, Senate Joint Resolution 7 and House Joint Resolution 5, which I'll link to in a moment.


This Amendment would not only require a balanced budget, but would require a two-thirds vote by both houses of Congress to raise taxes, thereby making it much more difficult for the politicians to balance the budget by raising your taxes.

The fact is, unless you and I force Members of Congress to put their money where their mouth is, the status quo of give-ins and giveaways will continue.

That's why I hope you will sign your Balanced Budget Amendment petitions.

But honestly after you sign, I hope you will go a step further and make a contribution to help the National League of Taxpayers mobilize a political army in support of the Balanced Budget Amendment.

I don't need to tell you powerful players in Washington oppose the Balanced Budget Amendment.

That's why it's so important you sign your petitions at once and, if at all possible, chip in a contribution of even just $10 to help the National League of Taxpayers rally the American people.



The NLT-supported Balanced Budget Amendment would take those options off the table and force Congress to start making serious cuts.

Kicking the can down the road for future generations to pay for would no longer be an option.

But without a strict Balanced Budget Amendment, I fear we'll continue the tax-and-spend cycle.

You see, without any cap on government spending, the politicians are always able to invent some "crisis" to demand bigger government and higher spending.

That's why I pray you will sign your petitions to your U.S. Senators and Congressman, urging them to cosponsor this Balanced Budget Amendment.

And in addition to that, I hope you will help my friends at the National League of Taxpayers with a special contribution.

The fact is, even though many Americans who receive this letter will sign the petition, many won't be able to contribute.

If you can only chip in $10, it will be a big boost.

Of course if you can afford to make a larger contribution of $25 or $50 or even more, I hope you will.

You should also know that a generous supporter has agreed to match your contribution, dollar-for-dollar, so there isn't a better time to give.

Your donations will help the National League of Taxpayers organize:

*** Extensive internet, direct mail, and telephone campaigns to generate at least one million petitions and questionnaires to Congress like the ones that accompany my letter,

*** Extensive personal lobbying of key Members of Congress by rank and file National League of Taxpayers members and staff;

*** Hard-hitting TV, radio, and newspaper ads to be run in targeted states and districts, mobilizing the American people and detailing the dangers of our soaring debt.

Your donation will help the National League of Taxpayers reach up to 10 million Americans and generate a tidal wave of opposition to fiscal irresponsibility while building long-term support for a Balanced Budget Amendment.

So after signing your Balanced Budget Amendment petitions, please also help with a contribution.

Some people have already given as much as $500.

Others have sent $50 or $100, but no matter how much you give, whether it's chipping in with $10 or a larger contribution of $150, I guarantee your contribution is urgently needed and will be deeply appreciated.

And don't forget that a generous supporter has agreed to match your contribution, dollar-for-dollar, no matter the amount.

With your help, we can impose real limits on politicians that force them to actually cut the waste that is threatening our future.

In Liberty,



Rand Paul
United States Senator

P.S. Our bloated federal budget CAN be balanced once the politicians understand that their political future depends on it.

That's why I urge you to click here to sign your "Balance the Budget" petitions to your Congressman and two Senators today and chip in with a contribution of $10 or whatever you can afford.
