YouCut Program Week Five

I have enjoyed this program so much. Eric Cantor has been doing very well in reconnecting with the American taxpayer. Last week, participants voted to propose prohibiting hiring new IRS agents to enforce the health care law, that would've resulted in $15 billion in savings, had the Democrats not voted it down.

Here is the follow-up email:

"You have all made the YouCut project a success, and it has captured the attention of national media, the House, and has even reached across the globe.

1,000,000 votes is an amazing milestone, and a testament to the fact that the American people are not going to tolerate runaway spending in Washington any longer. Every time we bring a YouCut item to the House floor, it is now backed by one million votes cast for Washington to change.

But we can't stop now. We need to raise our voices even louder, and I need your input to do that. If you are tired of spending, keep voting. Make your voice heard.

We've also heard from hundreds of Americans asking that some of the spending cuts from previous weeks get a second chance. I'm game, and after talking to a few of my colleagues here in the House, they are too.

So this week, the Economic Recovery Working Group are going to have the "best of the seconds" – all of the previous second place finishers are once again up for a vote.

Don't let anyone tell you that your voice isn't heard – it is. Together, we will cut spending. Click here to cast your vote on which of the five items we should bring to the House floor next week."
