Advancing Life and Liberty Through Action

Washington bureaucrats — even those now wanting to silence Elon Musk - have known about wasteful spending. Some have benefited from it — for decades. This corruption runs deep.
We are now past Phase 1 (which was inherited from Joe Biden) and into Phase 2 (working frantically from now until April, when President Trump releases his budget).
Democrat Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) backed down.
Now it gets harder. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Congress need to work with the president to cut spending ahead of the April budget release. This is the challenging work.
Urge Congress to support President Trump and DOGE, slash the budget, and end all nonessential spending!
We have known for decades about waste and fraud. Back in 2011, Barack Obama put Joe Biden in charge of cutting waste and fraud, but that ended up benefiting the Bidens more than it helped Americans. Oddly enough, Obama back then sounded just like Elon Musk does today.
Obama said, “Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions, and that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about. But what should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody.”
Obama goes on to point out unused buildings and even websites, like for a “folk music ensemble made up of forest Rangers called the ‘fiddlin’ foresters.’”
Then Joe Biden chimes in stating that “The American people are entitled to transparency. Look, a lot of this depends on new sophisticated method, but it also, we know, depends on relentless focus on making this a priority. ... We hope to be instilling an entire new culture that not only our administration but every succeeding administration will in fact pursue.” Sorry for the grammar — but remember this was Joe Biden talking.
But that was before President Trump started ACTUALLY MAKING CUTS. Now that President Trump wants to cut spending, Democrats are screaming.
We KNOW we cannot leave it up to Congress to make these cuts on their own. The pressure on Capitol Hill is immense. Unfortunately, the White House cannot completely wipe away this spending without Congress’ action.
Urge Congress to make sweeping budget cuts and wipe out nonessential government spending.
This fraud and waste run deep. U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) resigned and now has been convicted on 16 criminal counts. And U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has been convicted of identity theft and wire fraud. In both cases, it was the fox guarding the henhouse of our tax dollars. This is why it is so critical to hold Congress accountable!
We recently met in the White House and were able to further explain our work — specifically discussing a pro-life perspective on IVF and concerns about encroaching globalism.
In addition, our vice president of governmental affairs is providing details and resources to the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee regarding our concern about the impact a Pandemic Agreement/Treaty will have on our nation — even after we exited it. In addition:
We need your support and your immediate action. We can only make lasting change if we seize this opportunity as part of the budget process now. Your faxes and petitions bolster our physical presence on Capitol Hill.
Our team is working in the halls of Congress to boost the impact of your faxes and petitions.
