The Tea Party Pledge Rep Roy Blunt signed

Herewith, the “Tea Party Treaty” Rep Roy Blunt signed earlier (see video in earlier post), sans much comment from me other than the fact that, to date, Rep Blunt has not followed items 2 or 3 in any way.  He has only been instrumental in getting us where we are today, with a much larger government.  But who knows?  Maybe that old dog can learn some new tricks.  (All punctuation their own).

Tea Party Treaty

1)      I believe the Health Care Reform bill (Affordable Care Act) should be immediately repealed as an un-Constitutional extension of governmental powers according to Article I of the US Constitution, and thus a burden on the people’s rights as recognized by the 9^th Amendment.

2)      I believe the government should reduce taxes and cut spending, as a rejection of the Keynesian model of economics.  Government should be fiscally responsible with the people’s dime.

3)      I believe that we should reduce the federal bureaucracy.  The size and scope of federal regulation endanges all liberty, and hinders accountability to the public.
