Back in Washington, D.C. some politicians dismissed the tea party movement. Some politicians told their colleagues not to worry about how the Tea Party would react to their votes. Some politicians proceeded with back room deals and business-as-usual. Some politicians lost sight of their true constituency. Some politicians thought WE THE PEOPLE would not notice.
They were wrong.Last Thursday, Tea Party Patriots nationwide met at their representatives offices to remind their elected officials who they work for. Walla Walla Tea Party Patriots did the same and met with Congresswoman McMorris-Rodgers staff.We discussed our concerns and presented a letter to the congresswoman outlining our position on three points and requested she votes as follows.
- Vote "NO" on increasing the debt ceiling.
- Vote "YES" in support of Senator Toomey's "Full Faith and Credit Act".
- Vote "NO" on any tax increases.
Our Nation's credit has been stretched to the limit. It is now time to cut up America's credit card.
The "Full Faith and Credit Act" will insure that America pays its debt first and does not default on its many obligations.
Tax increases at this point in the recession will only slow our economy's fragile recovery. There is sufficient revenue to operate the government if it can be used responsibly.Tea Party Patriots continue to grow nationwide and are paying close attention to activities in Washington.WW Tea Party Patriots are fortunate to have a good relationship with Congresswoman McMorris-Rodgers and her staff. We will continue to voice our opinions and be the conservative voice for Walla Walla to promote our core values of fiscal responsibility, limited constitutional government and preservation of free markets.
Thank you, Martha!
