TAXATION W/O REPRESENTATION


A message to all members of Patriot Action Network



Dear Concerned Patriots,

Here's the bottom line for residents on the Debt
Super Committee which convenes as soon as next week.

is not represented on the committee,
meaning citizens are facing taxation
without representation.

One of the fundamental principles of our American form of
government is that YOU have representation in decisions
of taxation.

Remember the FIRST TEA PARTY?

Starting next week, citizens in and 38 other states
will not be represented on the Super Committee and will
therefore have no voice in the Committee's plan which pundits
now agree will include tax increases.

+ + Petition Delivery Next Thursday

Next Thursday, Grassfire Nation will be delivering petitions
to Congress from citizens who oppose the Debt Super Committee.

If you are concerned about citizens facing "no
taxation without representation," go here to sign the petition
opposing the unconstitutional Super Committee:

Again, your petition will be delivered to Congress beginning
next Thursday.

See below for more details on the Super Committee.

+ + Facts about the Super Committee

The Super Committee creates a mini "super" Congress whose
conclusions will be put on the fast track for approval without
any opportunity for our elected officials to revise or amend.

The Super Committee's conclusions must come up for an "up or
down" vote with no opportunity for Senate filibuster. Majority
rules!

In essence, votes from seven Super Committee members will prevail.
That means seven members of Congress (including Senators) have
been empowered to raise taxes when the Constitution stipulates
that all revenue bills must originate in the House.

IT EFFECTIVELY TIES THE HANDS OF YOUR SENATORS AND REP (unless
they happen to be one of the "Chosen 12") AND REMOVES THEM
FROM THE REAL WORK OF CUTTING WASTE OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT!

Most Americans will not be truly represented in the process
while most members of Congress will be shielded from any real
accountability because they can always blame "the Super
Committee."

+ + Leaders comment

Ron Paul: "There's no authority to have a super Congress who
takes over for what the House and Senate are supposed to do."

"That is monstrous. I keep looking and looking and I can't
find any place in the constitution where we have the authority
to create such a creature as the super congress."

Newt Gingrich: "While the Super Committee gives a select few
enormous power and denies most states a place in the
discussions at all, Americans from every state have lost
overall representation in Congress under the plan."

+ + Media Commentary on Super Committee

Reuters..."[The Super Committee] will meet independently from
Congress, set its own rules" and will set off a "Holy War"
among D.C. lobbyists.

LA Times: The Super Committee "has been given enormous power
to recommend at least $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction."
