No Blank Check for Obama to Raise Taxes...!!!

Dear Senator Cornyn,

What is wrong with your fellow Senator from Texas, Senator "Cave-Rino" Hutchison ?

In the midst of this incredibly important debt crisis discussion, she says, "I think it’s a fair compromise."

There is NO WAY IN THE WORLD that caving into a socialistic President Obama is a fair compromise.

We MUST NOT give Obama a blank check when it comes to the debt ceiling, which is just more power to raise taxes!

The McConnell-Reid Plan gives President Obama new power to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling $2.5 trillion in three segments over the next year, without a Congressional majority.

It also creates a new congressional committee to report a deficit plan to Congress by the end of the year. No way do we need a new committee, or a new set of government controls.

But here's what bothers me the most:  this plan would become a massive tax increase, while handing Obama almost unilateral power to increase the debt ceiling.

It would give Obama almost unilateral power to raise the debt ceiling without so much as a Congressional majority. This is not only irresponsible leadership, it undermines our Constitution.

According to the Washington Post, "The panel will require only a simple majority to report a plan to Congress, it would be protected from Senate filibuster and it would not be subject to amendment."

Let me be perfectly clear: I STRONGLY oppose any measure to give Obama the power to raise the debt ceiling without a Congressional majority. Also, I OPPOSE any debt deal that raises taxes without an equal or greater tax cut elsewhere.

Senator, Please stand strong and oppose Obama on this issue, and work hard to convince your fellow Senator from the Great State of Texas.
