SIGN OUR PETITION
Under the Obama Administration individual taxpayer debt has gone up 65% (New York Times, 12/27/11). Lew Uhler, President and founder of the National Tax Limitation Committee (Limittaxes.org) stated “We must have a serious review of all federal programs and cut or eliminate those that demonstrate a waste of taxpayer money.”
On Wednesday January 18th, the US House of Representatives is set to vote on further increasing the national debt ceiling by $1.2 trillion.
“Let’s make this vote constitute a mandate on federal spending oversight!” Uhler stated.
Please join Lew Uhler, the National Tax Limitation Committee and others by signing the petition that asks members of congress to “Stop increasing the national debt, burdening current and future generations, and take this vote as an opportunity to increase oversight and eliminate wasteful spending.”
This petition is now closed.

Obama was born in Hawaii. Doesn’t really etatmr if his Kenyan father was around for the birth or not. By current law he is a US citizen. People who question this make themselves look foolish or worse.Likewise, it is wrong to blame Obama for the meltdown of the US economy and for our soaring national debt. George W Bush and his party drove the US economy over a cliff before Obama was ever elected. Ronald Reagan very nearly bankrupted the country during the 1980s. Republicans are to blame for this mess. They love to spend trillions of dollars on unnecessary wars and a bloated imperial military. They all believe in Republican Big Government, but unlike Democrats, they want to put it all on the government’s credit card. Republicans spend like crazy but then cut taxes to corporations and the wealthy. They cut off government revenue and thus create these huge budget deficits. And they refuse any talk about restoring taxes to a responsible level that would end the deficits so they are not serious about cutting deficits or paying off the national debt. They want to use the debt as an excuse to end Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Medicaid needs to be reformed and greatly trimmed back. But Social Security and Medicare are vital programs that are supported by payroll taxes. There is no reason to end them. So if the choice is to have a black president and keep Social Security and Medicare, or to have a white Republican president and end these programs, I will vote for Obama just like I did in 2008. I don’t want to have to go off and die under a bridge when I get old.
