RSSJoin the National Town Hall Discussion on Deficits This Saturday!
The Heritage Foundation | June 26, 2010
“Reducing spending is possible, necessary, and sufficient to put the nation’s fiscal house back in order,” writes Heritage’s Kathryn Nix. And this is exactly the message that thousands of Americans across the country are prepared to deliver this Saturday, June 26, at AmericaSpeaks’ National Town Meeting. AmericaSpeaks is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization whose mission is to “engage citizens in the public decisions.”
Nineteen cities across the country will host these town hall meetings. The meetings are intended to open a discussion about the federal budget, the devastating effects that Washington’s growing deficits will have on the U.S. economy, and the best ways to address the fiscal crisis — before it is too late.

Heritage Foundation experts have been busy at work exposing the facts about excessive federal spending and taxation; debunking the myths that both practices help to balance the deficit; and outlining ways to truly boost the economy and individual prosperity, both of which call for reduced spending and taxation.

We encourage you to participate in this national discussion on Saturday, June 26. Join thousands of Americans in finding common ground on tough choices about our federal budget. Americans from across the country will come together to weigh in on strategies to ensure a sustainable fiscal future and a strong economic recovery.
Many of these ideas, strategies and tough choices are encapsulated in the Spending, Deficit, and Debt Control Act authored by Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), policy analyst Brian Riedl discussed last fall.
Many of the decisions our lawmakers are making are too costly: bailouts, “stimulus” spending, the health care takeover. We conservatives can’t afford not to speak up!
