The Heritage Foundation--a Public Service Announcement

This is a good group--a think tank that can be relied on to provide informatation about today's erosion of freedom that is happening in our country. I have certainly learned to stop expecting factual reporting from the old days media years ago. So--since I am a member and this is the first thing they ever asked me to do, I will copy and paste the announcement they requested of all bloggers.

Every week brings news of a fresh liberal assault on fiscal responsibility and limited government.

For example, President Obama’s proposed budget would raise taxes by $3 trillion over the next decade, according to a Heritage Foundation analysis. Despite these massive tax hikes, the national debt would still double over that period.

Worse, many in Congress think this out-of-control budget doesn’t provide for enough taxes and spending.
Our country’s 535 Senators and Representatives need to know the facts about their reckless assault on the American taxpayer. That’s why The Heritage Foundation is preparing an all-out campaign to educate lawmakers and candidates about the consequences of runaway spending and ever-rising taxes.

To fund this effort, Heritage is conducting a Tax Day Money Bomb this Thursday, April 15. Our goal is to raise $150,000 by midnight Thursday.

Here are four things you can do today to make Thursday’s money bomb a success:

Forward this e-mail to ten friends and family members. We want to show Washington that there is a real groundswell of support for principled, conservative solutions to our fiscal problems—so the more supporters we can get, the better.

Post about the Tax Day Money Bomb on Twitter to help spread the word. Be sure to use the #heritage415 hashtag.

Blog. Do you have a personal blog? Keep your readers informed about this important effort by writing a blog post about the Tax Day Money Bomb.

Remember, your contribution Thursday—and those of your friends, colleagues and family—will help The Heritage Foundation directly challenge the tax-and-spend status quo.
I appreciate all of your support for conservative ideals, and I thank you for everything you do to advance our cause.

Sincerely,

Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D.
President
