TO: United States Congressional Republicans
SUBJECT: “WHERE IS THE REPUBLICAN CLIFF ”RED CAN” LINE?
America viewed the “fiscal cliff” comments on Wednesday by Rep Boehner, Cantor, et al. Suffice to say, we saw little heart, less enthusiasm, in short more of the same dialogue and weak rhetoric.
America is looking for a concrete RED CAN LINE statement by House and Senate Republicans that leaves no doubt as to the principle conservatives will not cross. Pin Obama to the wall, require him to “fish or cut bait”
It can be said that republicans share the fiscal mistakes made in the past that put America at the cliff. However, republicans refuse, based on the United States Constitution, moral obligations to “we the people” to advance taxes and allow continued out-of-control debt spending threatening national security. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, FISCAL INSANITY MUST END. America will accept the pain for right reasons.
Obama will comment, snicker, reflect arrogance, pass gas, talk down to Congress, and make weak threats as to republican accountability. Boehner must not wilt, weep, or get weak kneed…respond in courage that America deserves truth, a Congress that will make a sacrificial move toward fiscal sanity. If there is blow-back, it won’t be for taking the wrong action for America.
The RED CAN LINE will be held now and also during “debt ceiling” decisions. TAKE US OVER THE CLIFF IF YOU MUST BUT DO NOT SURRENDER PRINCIPLE.
