Our Representatives in the House are considering
amendments to the “Boehner plan.” The House has passed
the Cut, Cap & Balance Act. The fact that tyrants in
the Senate and the Chief Tyrant in the White House have
tabled the bill and threatened to veto it respectively,
does not force the House to come up with something
different.
The only thing which is acceptable to the
“Progressives” is to increase their ability to spend –
legally or illegally if necessary. Taxes have already
been raised 3.6% with a regressive inflation tax. The
profligate spending can be stopped in January of 2013,
but that may be too late.
Republicans hold a majority in the House of
Representatives. The House has two specific powers – to
appropriate funds and to impeach. Obama vowed to
“support and defend the Constitution against all enemies
foreign and domestic.” If he misuses the 14th Amendment,
then he should be impeached.

Spend Now; Save Later
The Speaker of the House of Representatives proposed a debt
ceiling plan that calls for just over $1 Trillion in deficit
reduction over the next 10 years in exchange for an immediate
increase in the debt ceiling. In other words, he is willing
to cave and give the President a debt ceiling increase in
exchange for a promise of cuts over the course of 10 years
that are not defined, that WILL NOT eliminate the deficit,
that WILL increase our national debt, and will still risk a
downgrade of our credit rating. We've heard it all before:
more current spending in exchange for future promises. The
American People are tired of broken promises.

House Debt Limit Bill
The emerging House bill would provide for an immediate
$1 trillion increase in the government's $14.3 Trillion
debt limit in exchange for $1.2 Trillion in cuts in
federal spending. The measure also envisions Congress
approving a second round of spending cuts of $1.8 Trillion
or more in 2012, passage of which would trigger an
additional $1.6 Trillion in increased borrowing authority.
This could be a trap since the Obama Administration may
determine the cuts. $1 Trillion would be from ending wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq - leaving only $200 Billion to be
cut in the first round. The cuts on the last continuing
resolution ended with a budget with less than 1% in cuts.

Newt on the Debt Limit
Raising the debt ceiling without passing real reform to
put America back on the path of fiscal responsibility will
forever burden our children and grandchildren with higher
taxes, bigger government, and less freedom.
What we are witnessing is, in fact, a power struggle between
the 80 percent of the American people who believe in a
citizen-centered government and the 20 percent who believe
in a Washington-centered government.
The president yesterday made it clear which side he is on
when he threatened to veto the Cut, Cap and Balance Act, a
courageous attempt by House Republicans to force Washington
to embrace fiscal responsibility.

No Debt Limit Increase is Acceptable!
While we are in support of cutting spending now, capping
the percentage of government spending as it relates to the
gross domestic product, and balancing the budget, we do not
support those items in exchange for a debt ceiling increase.
America cannot afford to continue to spend more money than
it brings in. America cannot afford to borrow 44 cents of
every dollar it spends.

allow Obama to raise the debt ceiling three times, up to
$2.4 trillion, over the next 18 months, but only provided

Paul Revere TEA Party Mission
The mission and existence of the Paul Revere TEA Party
are to elect government officials who believe in core
Christian values and the following conservative values:
1. Pro-life - We support life from conception until God
takes us, and believe that government has no basis for
legalizing abortions or euthanasia.
2. Pro-marriage - We believe that marriage should be
between a man and a woman.
3. Less government - Our government has grown too large
with too many rules and regulations that impair small
business.
4. Strong military - We believe that the strength of our
country is determined by the strength of our military,
and that that strength should be maintained.
5. Lower taxes - We believe that our government should be
fiscally responsible and not wasteful. We support a
Balanced Budget Amendment. We also believe that
consideration should be given to the Fair Tax.
6. Energy independence - We have vast resources of coal,
oil, natural gas and other sources of energy. We should
tap those resources and not rely on the Middle East for
our energy sources.
7. Immigration - We believe that our borders should be
secured, and that illegal aliens should not be extended
the same benefits given to a United States citizen.
8. Term limits - We believe that term limits should be set
for Congressmen and Senators.
