Here's the real truth about our nation's debt crisis that

President Obama and Congress doesn't want you to know about ...

Our nation's true debt stands at a whopping $120 trillion --

making the much reported and debated $14.3 trillion look

like chump change!

Here's what we've found. According to the Congressional

Budget Office, and as reported by the CATO Institute, a

just released new report shows that the federal government's

publicly held debt is set to explode to 101 percent of the

GDP in just ten years!

More than the value of everything produced in the U.S!

Even worse, the CBO warns that unless substantive change

in our nation's current course is made, by 2035 our debt

could reach 190 percent of our GDP.

The CBO just wrote our nation's obituary!

According to the report, the media, Obama and his cronies

are only targeting "debt held by the public," and are all

but ignoring "intragovernmental debt" or debt that the

federal government owes itself in the form of I.O.U.s.

The New York Post likens this debt as "money you swiped

from your kid's piggy bank. It may not appear on your

credit report, but it's money that you still have to pay

back."

And finally, there's "implicit debt," -- unfunded obligations

to programs like Social Security and Medicare.

All totaled, it exceeds $120 trillion.

So while Obama and Congress put on a show for the cameras

and pontificate about "staying in town until we get this

done," they aren't even discussing the real mountain of

debt that is looming overhead and threatening to destroy

our nation!

No. This is just a game to them, and we are being played

as fools.

+ + EMERGENCY PETITION DELIVERY - Thursday, July 7

The government isn't going to fix this problem.

The media aren't going to fix this problem. The solution

to our nation's spending problem rests with its citizens.

         That's why this week, Grassfire Nation officials

         are marching tens of thousands of citizen

         petitions directly to key members of Congress --

         putting them on notice and demanding they CUT,

         CAP AND BALANCE!

The CBO said the problem cannot be fixed simply by cutting

"fraud, waste and abuse" and raising taxes. Instead, they

said it can only be fixed by a dramatic reduction in spending.

That's the message citizens are taking to Capitol Hill on

Thursday, July 7, and we need your help to maximize this

effort!

         Forward this message to everyone on your mailing

         list today. Urge your friends to click below and

         sign our petition so that we can include them in

         this vital petition delivery next week.

This is a battle that grassroots Americans must win. Losing

is not an option -- or even something to be discussed. The

time is now to fully engage in this battle, and we are

counting on your help to maximize our efforts as we boldly

move forward and confront key members of Congress next week!

Again, forward this message today.
