free markets by inviting one or more "dissenters" to lunch. An hour of healthy
debate may yield greater results than attending a dozen Tea Parties!
Indian River
Tea Party
Citizens’
Declaration
A Message to
our Government in Washington D.C.
We, the
citizens attending this Indian River Tea Party, are deeply concerned
that:
-
Government
spending is out of control and far beyond our national means.
-
The
deficits being created by the accelerated increases in the size
of our government and its obligations are not sustainable.
-
The
resulting debt and tax burdens on the citizens of this country
necessary to fund this spending are rapidly becoming untenable.
-
These
burdens will ultimately put our economy, our jobs, and our
nation’s standard of living at serious risk, which will become
increasingly onerous for our children, grandchildren, and
generations beyond.
-
Borrowing
ever increasing amounts from foreign nations, who do not have
our best interests at heart, diminishes our control over our
economy and, ultimately, represents a national security risk.
-
These
factors will combine to damage the dollar, and its credibility
as the world’s reserve currency.
-
Passage of
unread and “earmarked” spending bills, without transparency or
clear understanding, is unacceptable.
Therefore, with humility and resolve, we declare
that our government must learn to live within its means, without
unsustainable debt and tax burdens on the economy and the
people. We implore both our legislative and executive branches
to return our nation to a condition of fiscal discipline. This
is your responsibility to the American people.
