To President George Bush, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, House Majority Leader John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist:
We, the people of these United States, rightfully petition our President, House of Representatives and Senate to proffer a Balanced Budged Amendment to the Constitution, coupled with the enactment of the tax system overhaul Republicans promised.
The only real hope for preventing the weight of the central government from crushing the life from our Republic is to renew the bid for a constitutionally mandated balanced-budget amendment and to enact real tax reform as originally outlined by Ronald Reagan. That amendment and reform will force Congress to either make dramatic cuts in government spending or enact enormous tax increases to pay for the current distended and mostly unconstitutional government budget.
A Balanced Budget Amendment, combined with real tax reform; namely, a flat or national sales tax with deductions and exclusions, will result in a reduction in government spending, as American taxpayers will not tolerate bearing the burden of the actual cost of government.
We call on Republicans -- our President and Congress -- to make such legislation the new priority in Washington, ushering in a new era of restraint, responsibility and respect for the constitutional limitations of government. We expect President Bush to embrace Ronald Reagan's legacy, and make limited government and fair taxation his administration's principal objectives for the remainder of his second term.
Go sign it. They're looking for 100,000 signatures. It's unlikely the hogs wallowing at the public trough in Washington will pay attention ... but hey, they certainly won't if people don't sign it. Give it a shot. You never know, it might get results.
