FreedomWorks Members to Rally in Support of Operation Offset

Members of the House Republican Study Committee (RSC) are holding a press conference on Wednesday to call for budget offsets to pay for the Hurricane Katrina relief and reconstruction effort. Called “Operation Offset,” RSC Members will unveil a list of specific budget savings options that can be used to fund reconstruction. FreedomWorks strongly supports this effort to re-prioritize the federal budget in light of the Katrina disaster.

FreedomWorks members are in Washington, D.C., as part of a month-long September “fly-in” to lobby Congress for limited government and pro-growth economic policy. Tomorrow, twenty-eight volunteer activists from Washington state, Oregon, and Utah will attend the RSC event to show grassroots support for Operation Offset.
