National Taxpayers Union (NTU) is asking us to tell our US Senators NO to the "Coburn Omnibus" bill. Formally titled "Advancing America's Priorities Act" (S.3297), it is a bundle of a great number of new government programs and more earmarks-- it contains wasteful spending, and doesn't address today's most pressing issues, such as war and energy. Also, this bill is not scheduled for debate or amendment.
According to US Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), a staunch defender of taxpayers and eight-time winner of NTU's Taxpayers' Friend Award, this bill would ram through more than $11 billion in spending and create at least 34 new programs without any debate or amendment.
Take action now, by going to NTU's campaign web page, editing the sample letter if possible and sending it off. Or, if you prefer, please call your two US Senators' Washington offices at 202-224-3121 (not toll-free) and tell their staff that you oppose the "Coburn Omnibus" bill. NTU Campaign Expiration Date: August 22, 2008. Thank you
We will be following this legislation, so stay tuned for this bill's outcome in the Twitter timeline.
