Cut Cap and Balance Pledge, a way to fix America.


I pledge to urge my Senators and Member of the House of Representatives to oppose any debt limit increase unless all three of the following conditions have been met:
  1. Cut
  2.  - Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.
  1. Cap
  2.  - Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.
  1. Balance
  2.  - Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution -- but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and expenses

Sign the pledge at http://cutcapbalancepledge.com/pledge.php

So far 12 Senators, 26 house members, and all but Huntsman and Bachmann who are seeking the GOP nomination have signed this.

And the just added a new list that (was my idea), the list that was added today, Governors (so far 0 on the page due to new within last 6 hours)

A quick explanation about how my idea was added, I was at the Rocky Mountain BBQ, in Heber City (more on that later), and US Senator Mike Lee was there, and I talked with him, and suggested that they need to add a Governors list, because if your going to pass a BBA (balanced budget amendment) you will need the states to ratify it, he said, that's a great idea, we will see if we can do that (we being Jim DeMint)
