CONSERVATIVE SENATE ACTION 08/23/2017 AMERICA MUST STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DO NOT HAVE!

Pastor Conservative Patriots, 

Liberals want you to believe the budget crisis in Washington is the unwillingness of conservatives to support more spending and debt before the end of September. This is when government funding expires and when our nation's debt reaches the statutory limit again.

But the real budget crisis is the unwillingness of our elected leaders to cut spending and reduce the debt.


The Republican-controlled Congress has known about these September deadlines all year yet they have intentionally done nothing to address them in a responsible manner. 

The annual spending bills should cut total discretionary spending while advancing priorities like the border wall and defunding liberal policies like Planned Parenthood, sanctuary cities, and Obamacare.

Likewise, the debt limit should not be raised again unless it is coupled with reforms that reduce mandatory spending so our debt is reduced and we don't have to raise the limit ever again.

Instead of tackling these issues this year and using the Republican majorities to enact conservative reforms, GOP leaders have surrendered and delayed any action.

Their strategy, which they have used many times before, is to wait until the last minute so they can use a manufactured crisis to pressure lawmakers to support bad policies.

This is yet another example of Senator Mitch McConnell's failed leadership and another reason why Senate Republicans should replace him with a new leader in September.

McConnell has completely surrendered the Republican policy agenda and refuses to fight for anything the Democrats object to. And now he's blaming President Trump for the Senate's failure to govern when it was McConnell who helped elect the liberal Republicans who are now breaking their word and opposing common sense reforms.

Senate Republicans should reject Mitch McConnell's excessive excuses and hold him accountable for his failures.

There is still time to repeal Obamacare, pass bold pro-growth tax reform, and cut spending to deal with the real budget crisis. But none of it will happen as long as Senate Republicans are led by this liberal creature of Washington.

If you haven't sent Senate Republicans a letter urging them to replace Mitch McConnell, please click here to do it now.

Thank you for taking the time to see past the excuses coming out of Washington and for doing so much to fight for this great country.

Sincerely,
