| Fellow Americans,
We have arrived at a point in the storied history of the United States
of America where uncontrolled and irresponsible spending by Congress
demands that “we, the people” no longer trust them with the future of
our great nation. Therefore, "we, the people," must join together,
determined to push back until our Senators and Representatives
introduce and pass Constitutional amendments or bills that institute
laws and controls that give our country back to “we, the people."
We will push for these changes one at a time until our country's future
has been secured. The first change will be a Constitutional
amendment that caps Federal spending at 10% of our cumulative adjusted
gross incomes (why?).
After this change has been made, we will push back until the other
issues are resolved (complete
list).
So how do we convince Congress that they must pass these mandates into law? Before we
get to that, we must first recognize some of the things that, by
themselves, have not worked:
 | Voting |
| Attending tea parties |
| Writing books |
| Reading books |
| Emailing, faxing, visiting, calling, or writing to our Senators and Representative |
| Calling and/or listening to conservative talk radio shows |
| Blogging |
| Writing letters to the editors of newspapers and magazines |
| Venting, ranting, or raving to family, friends, radio hosts, or TV
hosts |
| Going to Town Hall meetings |
| Joining internet groups to discuss the issues of the day |
| Subscribing to regular emails from various and sundry interest
groups |
These are all good and are all part of the solution. Each piece is
necessary for what needs to happen. But they will only work if they
complement and culminate in long-term,
nondestructive,
friendly (but insistent), civil disobedience in Washington D.C. and
other capitols and major cities throughout the country.
This civil disobedience will need to be ongoing if
we are going to get the point across that we will no longer allow an
inept, incompetent, and irresponsible
Congress to drive us into bankruptcy. It will take commitment,
time, money, and guts. Are we up to it? YES!
What else can you do?
| Publicize this website and its
mandates to local and national talk radio audiences,
family, friends, blogs, email contacts, and so forth. |
| When you go to TEA parties, hand
out slips of paper or business cards with "PushBackUntil.com" on
them. This is a grassroots effort, so it is up to you
to publicize it far and wide. |
| Send your U.S. and State Senators and your U.S. and State Representatives a letter
(example:
Word or
pdf format) or an email with information from this website.
They need to know we are serious about getting our country back on the
right track - in spite of them. Ask them to propose an amendment
to the Constitution that will limit spending. (Keep in mind that
a Constitutional amendment can be started either in Congress or at the
State level. We need to use both approaches.) |
| Call, fax, mail, and email your U.S. and State Senators and U.S. and State Representatives to relay
to them information from this website. |
| Make an appointment with your U.S. and State Senators and U.S. and
State Representatives to
meet with them to discuss these mandates face to face. And if
you cannot go to D.C., visit their local offices to respectfully tell
them that we are not going to take it anymore. |
| Organize local events to protest the size and irresponsibility of
government at all levels. |
| Above all, "Be in D.C.," your state capitol, or the nearest big
city for as many PBU-endorsed events as possible. We cannot and
will not back down. |
Watch
We The People
Stimulus Package if you need additional inspiration.
After we have amended the Constitution to control spending, we
will begin to work on the
other issues.
