Budget Back on House Floor Tomorrow!
by Adam Hughes*, 5/10/2006
House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) announced today he wants to bring the budget resolution back to the House floor tomorrow (Thursday) and believes he now can secure enough votes to pass it. Boehner pulled the budget from the floor in March because squabbles within the Republican Party threatened to defeat the bill.
The budget would freeze discretionary spending at $873 billion, would require the national debt limit to be raised again to over $10 trillion, and would continue the current thirst for irresponsible and immoral tax cuts. The vote is expected to be very close, and there is still time for individuals to impact the outcome.
Call your Representative using this toll-free number (800-459-1887) before Thursday and ask them to represent the best interest of the public in your community and reject this budget.
