SENATE VOTE SATURDAY. URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action
Senate will hold a cloture vote on the motion to
proceed this Saturday on the Cut, Cap, and Balance
Act which the House of Representatives passed on
Tuesday night.
The measure is expected to face major resistance
from fiscal liberals. See my urgent message below - Mat.
With each passing day, our nation's fiscal health gets worse, leaving us, our children and grandchildren bearing the debt burden of reckless government spending.
The US national debt now exceeds $14 trillion: a
liability of $129,000 per taxpayer!
The US unfunded liabilities debt (promised future
obligations) now exceeds $114 trillion: a debt of
over $1 million per taxpayer!
Cut, Cap and Balance is one of the more level approaches to this dire national disaster that, left unchecked, could take America into an insurmountable economic crisis!
++What is Cut, Cap and Balance?
Cut -- The bill calls for discretionary and mandatory
spending reductions in FY2012 by reducing next year's
projected $3.6 trillion in spending by $111 billion.
Cap -- Gradually places caps on spending over the
coming decade from 24.1 percent of the US economy
this year, 22.5 percent next year, to 19.9 percent
in 2021. If a cap is breached, spending would
automatically be cut. (Social Security, Medicare,
military personnel, veterans and interest due on the
debt are exempt).
Balance -- The legislation requires that Congress
pass a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) and mandates
that it be sent to the states for ratification before
the president's request before a debt limit increase
is granted.
++Our elected officials have a serious spending problem!
We are appalled at the Obama Administration's and Congress' continued fiscal insanity, out-of -control government spending and borrowing, and printing ever more currency, thus devaluing the dollar
Right now, fiscal conservatives in Congress are in a unique position to bring about changes with lasting effects - to use the leverage of this debt ceiling debate to encourage agreement on real spending cuts, spending caps, and a balanced budget amendment.
The House passed Cut, Cap and Grow. Now it's the Senate's turn!
++FAX YOUR SENATORS NOW! Less than 48 hours remain.
Liberty Counsel Action is calling on every concerned American to take part in a massive fax barrage to key Senators urging them to pass the Cut, Cap and Balance initiative. It is a step in the right direction to reign in government spending, exercise fiscal restraint, and create more accountability.
This massive barrage will include an immediate and
steady stream of faxes to your two Senators and
other key leaders.

#2. Call your Senators!
Because time is so short, I encourage you to also call your Senators. Firmly tell them to stand firm and commit to saving our country from financial ruin and collapse BEFORE even considering raising the debt ceiling, which is a mandate included in "Cut, Cap and Balance."
Our Fax Barrage will continue to flood Senate offices until the critical cloture vote on Saturday. We have been told many times that this strategy really does make a difference! Time is of the essence to thwart this looming disaster.
THANK YOU for supporting Liberty Counsel Action in this vital effort!
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Chairman
