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. 

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.

Tonight, May 16th, at 7 PM, FreedomWorks will host a free, live webcast with Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma to discuss his plan to halt the EPA’s latest round of job-killing regulations.  While you watch, you can post questions for the Senator.  Watch the webcast by clicking HERE.

Besides taking your questions, Senator Inhofe will discuss:

The Senate is expected to vote on four competing budget plans introduced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) today. Passing an annual budget for the federal government is a fundamental responsibility of Congress. Yet under Harry Reid’s leadership, the Senate has not passed a budget in over three years and no Democrats in the Senate have even offered a budget proposal this year.

Good News From Wisconsin- Local Democrats and far left activists are in a panic! With less than three weeks remaining in the Wisconsin recall race, Governor Scott Walker is up by nine points in the latest We Ask America poll.

I hope you can join us this week on our grassroots road trip through Ohio!

We'll be launching the tour in Troy with a Get-Out-the-Vote training session before continuing on to Cleveland and Toledo to help train and organize the great activists there.

I hope you can join us for at least one of these exciting events.

As you know, 2012 is a pivotal year for Ohio and America. From ObamaCare to EPA regulations, radical and dangerous policies are killing jobs across the country and preventing an economic recovery.

What's that you say?! The Senate is going to vote on a budget? Are you sure???

Yup. It's true. After 1,112 days of not passing a budget, Senate Democrats have agreed to vote on several competing plans to stop the debt, balance the budget, and avert the coming Debt Collapse.

To help Senators and activists prepare for this week's Senate votes on competing budget plans, FreedomWorks has prepared this handy cheat sheet.
