Finally, Congress is scheduled to vote on a bill to make some of the DOGE cuts permanent.
All the DOGE cuts are meaningless unless Congress makes them permanent!
For months, Congress has done nothing, even as DOGE identified the most egregious, most outrageous examples of waste, fraud, and abuse by our government with your money.
You remember just some of what Elon Musk’s DOGE team discovered you’re paying for, including creation of a Sesame Street show in Iraq, promoting DEI in Serbia, and fighting xenophobia in Venezuela.
Now, the House is finally ready to vote on the first DOGE rescission bill and claw back some of the wasteful money Congress appropriated.
But passage is not guaranteed – even with a Republican majority! Republicans can only lose 3 votes and still pass the bill.
We’re hearing at least 4 weak-kneed Republicans – Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Don Bacon (R-NE), David Valadao (R-CA), and Mark Amodei (R-NV) – are “concerned” about the cuts and could vote to KILL the bill.
It’s only $9.4 billion. Which is a far cry from what we were promised. But it is a start.
If they don’t pass this small cut, they’re never going to pass the bigger ones.
Please call your U.S. Representative right now at (202) 224-3121 and tell him or her to vote to pass the DOGE rescission bill, H.R. 4.
Here’s a sample script:
Hello, this is (your name) from (your city). I’m calling to tell the representative to vote YES on H.R. 4, to make permanent some of the DOGE cuts.
It’s only a start, but Congress needs to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in government and reduce the spending.
Our national debt is out of control. We need to cut the spending. Please vote to make the DOGE cuts permanent and then support many more spending cuts to get our budget balanced. Thank you.
You don’t need to debate their staffers. Just leave your message.
If you can’t get through today, try again tomorrow morning.
All that matters is you make your voice heard.
Between now and September, when the next spending bill is due, the national debt will have increased by another half a trillion dollars.
We are hurtling toward a fiscal cliff, and the big spenders in Washington are stepping on the gas.
So you and I must demand Republicans apply the brakes and pass a rescission deal NOW – and claw back some of our money being wasted by our government.
Call your U.S. Representative right now at (202) 224-3121 and tell him or her to vote to pass the DOGE rescission bill, H.R. 4.
For Liberty,
John McCardell
Executive Director
P.S. This is the first time DOGE cuts are getting a vote in the U.S. House, so call your representative at (202) 224-3121 and demand he or she vote YES.
