Friends:
The American people are growing increasingly frustrated with the direction that Washington is taking our country. Families are outraged that steps are not being taken to reign in unsustainable spending, record debt, and unprecedented government intervention. Small business owners are particularly discouraged by the constant threat of more taxes and regulations.
For too long, Washington has ignored the people and chosen instead to continue leading us down a dangerous path. It is past time to heed the common voice of the common man.
House Republicans have been listening. For months, we have traversed the country, holding town halls and talking with people in communities large and small about their concerns about the state of the nation. Together with your voice, we have put forth a new governing agenda, A Pledge to America.
A Pledge to America emphasizes job creation, ending the spending spree in Washington, and reforming Congress – the things that people want most. We stand ready to bring real transparency and accountability to Washington. Above all, we are fighting to make sure the People’s House returns to doing the people’s business. I encourage you to read our full pledge here.
