Uncle Sam, the thief, taking citizens for a ride!!!
"I'm for a flat tax -- as long as the flat rate is zero.
The object is to get rid of big government,
not find a new way of financing it." Harry Browne

Balanced Budget Amendment
Petition to the United States Congress

  • Whereas: Runaway federal spending has resulted in an unsustainable, $17 trillion national debt which threatens the prosperity of future generations of Americans; and,
  • Whereas: The federal government spends nearly $10 billion every day while presiding over widespread unemployment, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and social programs on the verge of bankruptcy; and,
  • Whereas: The Balanced Budget Amendment, S.J. Res. 7 and H.J. Res. 5, would force Congress to pass a balanced budget every year, require a two-thirds vote by both houses of Congress to raise taxes, and require a three-fifths vote by both houses of Congress to raise the debt ceiling; and,
  • Therefore: In the interest of a fiscally sustainable future for my children, grandchildren, and our country, I hereby am going on record in strong support of the Balanced Budget Amendment.

Why Do We Need Term Limits?

John Adams said, “Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey”. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.

  1. Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
  2. Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
  3. Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
  4. Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
  5. Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.

    6. Term limits for lawmakers: when is enough, enough?

[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
