Dear Representatives:
On behalf of more than two million Americans for Prosperity activists in all 50 states, I urge you to support Representative McClintock’s Full Faith and Credit Act (H.R. 807). It’s time to end the demagoguery over whether the country is going to default on its debt obligations and have a serious conversation about spending.
I urge you to vote YES on the Full Faith and Credit Act (H.R. 807). Americans for Prosperity will include this vote in our congressional scorecard.
The United States’ credit rating is far too important for some Washington lawmakers and the media to use it for political purposes. Unfortunately, that is precisely what we’ve witnessed in recent history. As the country once again faces raising the debt ceiling, big government advocates are panicking to ensure that their programs are insulated from the necessary fiscal reforms that are sweeping the country. The Treasury Department already has the discretionary authority to prioritize debt payments. This legislation would simply ensure that Treasury lives up to those obligations. It would also quiet the irresponsible rhetoric on the Left that the federal government is in danger of defaulting on its sovereign debt.
The most responsible action consistent with limited-government principles is to acknowledge past debts, pay them and simultaneously make the spending cuts needed to correct our fiscal imbalance. I urge you to support this commonsense legislation and take the important next steps to put the federal budget on a path that will mitigate the need for these measures in the future.
I urge you to vote YES on the Full Faith and Credit Act (H.R. 807). Americans for Prosperity will include this vote in our congressional scorecard.
