No More Red Ink For Our Country.

61

By Wealthmadehealthy

In many writings, I have

stated time and time again. To get the challenges stopped, changed, or in accomplishing the greater good for our nation, we must absolutely contact our individual Congressmen, women and Representatives in the House .....

Yet so many people seem to be challenged when it comes to simply sitting down, writing a letter stating what they would like and sending it off in the mail. For goodness sakes, this is not a face to face meeting .... it is a piece of paper and a pen.

See all 4 photos

Well, nearly 500,000 people............

have taken this to heart.  They have sat down at their desk, their kitchen table, in their offices, and done just this.   The absolute largest vote and challenge facing our Congress and House of Representatives is this:

To authorize or not to authorize a raise in the debt limit for the US.   

Can we afford to continue borrowing from other countries......can we afford to continue to allow money to be printed which is fast showing to be worthless as bank after bank closes down taking our money with it???   500,000 people is a drop in the bucket of all the millions who live in the US.

There has actually been a tremendous campaign started which has solidly addressed all of this.  It is flooding the Republican House of Reps with thousands of letters on a daily basis to help them in their decision making for the betterment of our country.   

It is called No More Red Ink.    The latest polling shows that 70% of Americans are opposed to raising the debt limit.  While Mr. Boehner is solidly pushing to pass this monstrosity through the House.   

If we do not as American Citizens do our part, each and every one of us, we will become more doomed than we already are.    I am sure there are many more than just the 70% polled who simply did not enter the poll.   Why Americans are afraid to take a stand for their country is beyond me.   

The Tea Party organizations have become among the endorsers for the might of the people through pen and paper.   If your House Representative do not hear from you, they will be swayed by whomever is telling them we need to raise the debt limit....thereby allowing more money to be printed, our country to fall further into debt and at some point soon, we as a nation will fall into total ruin.   

I have left a link for all to go to in understanding we must all partake of simply putting to paper our thoughts on the debt limit.  Surely you all understand that you are unable to use your credit card over the limit.  Surely you all understand that finance charges are added.   Surely, many people are wallowing in debt themselves and the government cannot continue to bail out companies, and individuals on borrowed money they are unable to return.   

For those who are unable to understand the deficit...It is money we are in the hole over.  Just like millions of Americans.   Can our way of life in freedom exist when we owe other countries?  No.  Do you want to be ruled by China or Germany?  No.  

So go to the link and see what you are able to see.  Do something and do it now.  If you think I spent time typing this all out so you would not even click a link to get more information....maybe I did, but am hoping all who read this will click the link and truly investigate what they are able to do instead of talking about it “wishing” they could do something.  It is going to take action on all of our parts.   

If you are one of the ones who is/has been continually wanting the gvt to change but simply have done nothing but complain about it, here is your chance to make all those complaints good.  If you do not, then you will flat have to live in whatever manner the gvt chooses for us to live in.

Good afternoon breakfastpop. Thank you so much for reading...and I hope many people are somehow led to the link. We all must use our voices, and flooding the House with mail is a really good idea. They have to listen then or they will be stepping over parcels of mail until they do!! Have a wonderfully blessed day.....

Good evening ManWithNoPants! Jim, this is something so few people seem to see as they wait around for things to get better. We have to give our all or end up with nothing at all. Which does everyone want to have?? ME? I want it all!! (But hopefully without all of the major challenges we have in this day and time.

Thanks so much for stopping by Jim...May you and yours have a blessed evening. Aloha!

Good morning dahoglund....Thank you for reading and I am extremely happy to see that all who have read this are responding....We all have to do something in order for any of this to change. And if we all started praying, I think this would do a world of good also....Have a blessed day y friend!!

With America's national debt in the trillions of dollars how are the people of the country supposed to handle such indebtedness? Just paying your taxes, won't cut it not anymore, until you get the spending stopped, the bleeding will continue.

Hi Dave. Canada is in about the same shape as we are over here in the states. And with the news I heard last evening of Obama being named president of the EU, it is going to get truly horrible for all of us sooner than anyone thinks possible.
