The following survey was conducted by WND through calls and e-mails to the offices
of members and, when direct responses were not forthcoming, public statements
made by the officials were used. The results are staggering in their lopsidedness, because it takes only 218 votes in the Republican-controlled House to block any effort to raise the debt limit – an action that would precipitate the most drastic cuts in federal government programs in modern history. A total of 122 House Republicans are already committed to opposing any additional hike in the debt limit, while 54 others says they would do so with conditions – most of which include spending cuts or a balanced budget. An additional 42 members say they are undecided. Shock the Washington establishment by participating in the "No More Red Ink" campaign and shut down all new plans for bailouts, "stimulus" spending and even the funding for Obamacare. House Speaker John Boehner has repeatedly said publicly that the debt limit will have to be raised, at the same time pushing for spending cuts. Boehner believes failure to raise the debt limit will result in defaults on loan obligations and poses danger to the government's credit rating, an assessment he shares with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. But the Heritage Foundation, CATO Institute and Investors Business Daily have all downplayed the threat of defaults with studies showing the government can still service the interest on the existing debt with tax revenues if substantial cuts in the budget are made. In response to the survey results, Mike Steel, spokesman for Boehner, told WND: "The speaker has made it clear that while the president is begging us to raise the debt limit without cutting spending that is obviously unacceptable to the American people. We need to cut spending and institute reforms so that we can keep cutting." WND's Joseph Farah, who has organized the "No More Red Ink" campaign designed to lobby House Republicans against raising the debt limit has generated nearly 1 million red letters urging House Republicans to oppose any hike in the debt limit. - You can join here = http://superstore.wnd.com/The-NO-MORE-RED-INK-Campaign The debt limit of $14.3 trillion is expected to be reached on or about April 15. Boehner has said he will postpone a vote until shortly before that date – approximately five weeks from now. Since approval of both houses of Congress is required to raise the debt limit, this is one of the very few meaningful actions the Republican-controlled House can take without the consent of the Senate or the White House, or for that matter, even their own "sell out" leadership - we can only Pray they keep the courage Farah has called it the Republicans' "secret weapon." If a debt limit increase is not approved, all borrowing by the federal government would stop. It would mandate the biggest cuts in the federal budget in generations – to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the Federal Government would be required to "pay as we go" in spending NO MORE than then current Revenues - that's a "Balanced Budget" folks |

"YES" on raising the Debt Ceiling - these people are enabling the Obama/Reid Spending machine and obviously didn't get the message in November 2010 |
"NO" on raising the Debt Ceiling - these "R"s are representing the American people who sent them to Washington and they must stand strong as one |
