Ron Paul calls it "monstrous" and "unconstitutional."

Newt Gingrich says it's a "disaster" and "a total breakdown

in the legislative process."

What are they talking about? The 12-member "Super Committee"

that was created earlier this month by the Dirty Debt Deal.

This committee has been charged with identifying $1.5

trillion in deficit reduction over the next 10 years

before the debt ceiling can be increased again.

Just one problem: This super committee is at best a

legislative mockery and at worst unconstitutional!

Consider this:

          The Super Committee creates a mini "super"

          Congress whose conclusions will be put on

          the fast track for approval without any

          opportunity for our elected officials to

          revise or amend.

          The Super Committee's conclusions must come

          up for an "up or down" vote with no opportunity

          for Senate filibuster. Majority rules!

          In essence, votes from seven Super Committee

          members will prevail. That means seven

          members of Congress (including Senators)

          have been empowered to raise taxes when

          the Constitution stipulates that all revenue

          bills must originate in the House.

IT EFFECTIVELY TIES THE HANDS OF YOUR SENATORS AND REP

(unless they happen to be one of the "Chosen 12") AND

REMOVES THEM FROM THE REAL WORK OF CUTTING WASTE OUT OF

OUR GOVERNMENT!

Most Americans will not be truly represented in the process

while most members of Congress will be shielded from any

real accountability because they can always blame "the Super

Committee."

+ + Petition Opposing Unconstitutional "Super Committee"

This is classic Leftist elitism, not representative government!

That's why Grassfire Nation has launched a nationwide

CITIZEN PETITION to give grassroots Americans the opportunity

to express their outrage and concern over the unconstitutional

Debt "Super Committee."

If you oppose this unconstitutional Super Committee, go here

to sign:

"http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=49132&RID=31755342"

Again, this Super Committee is a legislative monstrosity and

an affront to our Constitution. If we remain silent, we will

effectively submit the entire spending debate to SEVEN

members of Congress.

Thank you for taking action.
