I received the following information from the White House today. Please, if you have not signed up for email updates from The White House, read this information to fully understand what we are faced with: The budget President Obama sent to Congress on Feb. 14 is built around the idea that we have to live within our means so we can invest in our future.
Only by making tough choices to both cut spending and deficits and invest in what we need to win the future can we out-educate, out-build and out-innovate the rest of the world. The President is committed to working in a bipartisan way to solve the fiscal challenges before us while continuing to grow the economy and lay the foundation for America to win the future.
Here are some more resources on the President”s 2012 Budget and vision for deficit reduction that you may find helpful: Watch Obama”s address to the nation on a balanced approach to deficit reduction: www.WhiteHouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/2011/07/25/president-obama-addresses-nation-dangers-default.

This information provides the truth and is of vital importance to save our country from ruination. Obama represents all Americans, not just those who can pay. If we are to move forward, we must stand together as we did when we voted him into office. Can America win? “Yes we can!”
