Friend,
Nancy Pelosi wants to move forward with August Recess when there is work that still needs to be done for the American people.
Our nation's debt and deficit spending needs to be addressed immediately.
WE NEED OUR FISCAL HOUSE BACK IN ORDER
High levels of debt translate to much lower levels of economic growth.
And those same high levels of debt mean that too many of our taxpayer dollars are wasted on paying high interest and unnecessary overages.
WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE OUR MONEY IS GOING
Members of Congress need to get their work done and be held accountable if they don’t.
I've introduced three bills to do just that:
- The Stay on Schedule (S.O.S) Resolution – would force Speaker Pelosi to keep Congress in town until all 12 appropriations bills are passed, instead of adjourning for the August recess.
- The No Budget, No Pay Act – would prevent Members from being paid until we pass a budget.
- Inaction Has Consequences Act – would hold Congress Members’ salaries if we do not pass regular appropriation bills before the end of the Fiscal year.
Will you chip in $5, $10, or $50 RIGHT NOW to get our fiscal house back in order and hold members of Congress accountable?
This level of transparency and accountability is critical not only to get the budget process under control but also to rein in wasteful spending.
Help me put a stop to the August Recess and get things done for the American people.
With patriots like you, we're still in the fight!
