Taxpayers on Hook as Obama Joins a New International Renewable Energy Agency   

(CNSNews.com) – At a time when congressional Republicans are looking for ways to reduce U.S. funding to the United Nations, the Obama administration has formalized its membership in a new international body – and American taxpayers will provide more than one-fifth of its budget. The administration on Friday deposited its instrument of acceptance to join the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), State Department spokesman Philip Crowley announced. After joining in June 2009, the U.S. now becomes the 63rd fully ratified member of IRENA, a European-inspired initiative set up in 2009 to promote renewable forms of energy such as wind and solar...

HOLDING THE SPENDING LINE

too many politicians on both sides have simply lost touch with reality when it comes to government spending. But there is always hope when you have a few braves souls in Congress willing to shut down the government if it will not act responsibly. Plus, you think gas is expensive now?

RED ALERT: Republican Betrayal Nears on Debt Vote. Stop Them NOW!

Dear Fellow Taxpayer: It didn't take long. The new Republican leadership appears ready to approve FULL FUNDING for the Obama Administration's insidious – yet resoundingly rejected – agenda for America. Your action is needed at once. You and I can – in fact, MUST – send the GOP leadership an unmistakable message right now, BEFORE the disease of Republican compromise infects Washington once again. If Republicans cave in and join with the Democrats to raise America's debt ceiling above the already staggering current limit of $14.3 trillion, Obamacare will be funded, the bailouts will continue, and out-of-control federal bureaucrats will stay fat and happy – feasting on another wave of taxpayer money while our nation's economy continues to sink. That's why I need your help today – RIGHT NOW! – in telling the Republican leadership: NO NEW DEBT FOR THE OBAMA AGENDA!! It's vital you fill out your petition below to Speaker John Boehner and other Republican leaders and submit it without delay. Please do so at once... because Boehner and others are already talking compromise on this bellwether fiscal issue, only months after the momentous election. Let me explain. As we point out in the current issue of my financial and self-reliance advisory Independent Living, the Federal Reserve is already publicly committed to print some $75 billion a month to service massive federal budget deficits and allow the federal establishment's unchecked expansion to continue. This massive subsidy to rampant federal spending was never voted upon by Congress or the American people – at least $600 billion in new money is being printed and given to the insolvent federal government – completely beyond the control of democratic processes that define a free America and further destroying the value of every dollar you earn, spend, save, or invest. The only way to put a stop to this insanity is for Congress to REFUSE to raise the debt limit. A congressional vote is scheduled in just a few days, which is why you must... Send Your Petition To Oppose More Government Borrowing NOW! Responsible Members of Congress who say they plan to vote "NO" on increasing the government's reckless plan of borrowing more money are already being derided by big-spenders and other statists as "The Shutdown Caucus" (a reference to the possibility that parts of the federal government could be shut down if the Treasury isn't given even more credit). Let's flood the Republican House and Senate leadership with a sea of grassroots petitions bearing the unmistakable message: STOP digging the debt hole deeper! Our national debt is already 90% of gross domestic product (GDP). By increasing the debt to 100% or more, America could join the ranks of banana republics which have destroyed their currencies and plunged their economies into chaos. Make your voice heard now – tell the new GOP leadership to do the right thing and vote to cut the national credit card in half – "Step One" to restraining our out-of-control federal government. No more federal debt on the backs of our children and grandchildren! It's urgent you sign your petition right now – and help send a message loud and clear. Yours in Freedom and Prosperity, Lee Bellinger, Publisher Independent Living P.S. Help me send the message to the incoming Republican leadership, before the Republican disease of compromise infects Washington once again: NO NEW DEBT FOR THE OBAMA AGENDA! Sign and submit your petition NOW!
