Key Vote YES on the Toomey, Lee and Paul Budgets

Dear FreedomWorks member,

As one of our million-plus FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your Senators and urge them to vote YES on the separate budget plans offered by Senators Toomey, Paul, and Lee. Under Harry Reid’s leadership, the Senate has not passed a budget in over three years. Passing an annual budget for the federal government is a fundamental responsibility of Congress. Sens. Toomey, Paul, and Lee have introduced fiscally conservative budgets that contain much-needed reforms and will significantly cut the national debt.

Why Is Business Cheering for New Regulations?

Executive Order Memo

While the Obama administration has played up its independence and indifference to big business, recent announcements with respect to energy policy suggest that the administration does, in fact, cozy up to business, working in hand and glove to craft potential new regulations on energy exploration and development

Cut Spending – Cut Taxes: Sweden – Ryan – Tea Party Budget

Personal Freedom and Power IV:  Taxes Diminish Personal Power

“The power to tax is the power to destroy.”

-Chief Justice John Marshall

Every tax imposed by government diminishes the power of the person taxed.  Excessive taxation obstructs choice and entrepreneurship, which restricts freedom and prosperity for the individual taxed and the entire community.

Too Big Not To Fail

Some pundits are saying that the big banks like JP Morgan and Bank of America are too big and need to be broken up, in sort of a preemptive antitrust enforcement. But it would be far better if we just let the free market work, as we should have been doing all along.

Kev Vote on Republican Budgets in the Senate: See How They Voted Here!

Today, May 16th, in an attempt to do the job that the Democrat-controlled Senate has failed to do for 1,113 days, Senate Republicans forced votes on five budget proposals.  As expected, all five budget proposals failed, with not a single Democrat voting for any one of them.

Can We the People Govern Ourselves?

There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them.  Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom, a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed:  the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less.  And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people.
