PETITION TO CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT
TO HALT OUT-OF-CONTROL SPENDINGTo: Congress of the United States, President of the United States
Whereas, the Constitution of the United States clearly and specifically limits the scope and authority of the federal government under the enumerated powers clause;

Whereas, the encouragement of private and public debt by the federal government has brought America to the brink of financial devastation;

Whereas, history proves government spending has never succeeded in curing an economic downturn, but rather serves only to deepen and prolong it;

Whereas, government takeovers of banks and financial institutions move America ever further from the free-enterprise principles that have brought the nation prosperity for 233 years;

Whereas, bailouts of failing corporations represent a counterproductive response to what is, essentially, a government-induced crisis;

Whereas, the current level of irresponsible government spending will, by all accounts, either bankrupt this country or burden our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with never-ending debt;

Whereas, redistribution of wealth by government for the purpose of achieving "social justice" is immoral and a proven failure:

Petitions are good , but to be recognized you must remove the e-mail address and something else. I cannot remember what. CHeck out the submission rules before sending the lists of names. Before you submit your petition follow the rules so YOUR VOICE AND OPINIONS WILL COUNT!!!!! Hold on to your weapons and buy plenty of ammo. The bullets are already scarce and are getting harder to find daily. There is a dealer I found online under usaammo

I tried to sign 5 times and it tells me that I must include a last name. It doesn't like me, I guess.

I tried my birth name and my pen name and it still doesn't like R***** C***** or ec Roberts.
