I sent this letter through DownsizeDC.org's Cut Federal Spending campaign.
Washington Watch (http://bit.ly/1O6xdkB) informs us of your latest spending bills. Here's some of the stuff you will force me to fund:
* Cronyism: The Overseas Private Investment Corporation
* Foreign meddling: In the form of the National Endowment for Democracy
* TV and programming I could pay for myself, if I wanted it: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting
These are just three of dozens of departments and agencies that not only go beyond the enumerated powers of the Constitution, but don't serve any real “governmental” purpose at all.
They offer me no protection. Instead, they STEAL from me. They force me to pay for the agenda of others.
I DO NOT CONSENT!
Get rid of these agencies. And a LOT more!
If you're also frustrated by federal spending, you may copy-and-paste this letter, or edit it. You can even write your own letter using the Downsize DC “Educate the Powerful” system.
