Newsletter: Have you looked at our National Debt lately?

Benton Co. Republicans, 4/5/2010

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 05 Apr 2010 at 08:05:33 AM GMT is:
The estimated population of the United States is 308,136,932
so each citizen's share of this debt is $41,471.53.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $4.10 billion per day since September 28, 2007! Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House! ∴ Do you have any questions about the National Debt or this Debt Clock? Here are some answers. The Treasury Department's Bureau of Public Debt also has their own Public Debt FAQ.

Have you read Conservative Victory by Sean Hannity?

Sean Hannity has been sounding the alarms about Obama and his agenda from the start. Now—in his first new book in six years—he issues a stirring call to action. Hannity surveys all the major Obama players—from the president's affiliation with radical theology to his advisers' history of Marxist activism, repression of the media, support for leftist dictators, and worse. He exposes their resulting campaign to dismantle the American free-market system and forfeit our national sovereignty. But he draws on the examples of Ronald Reagan and the GOP's Contract with America to show how conservatives can unite behind this country's most cherished principles and act now to get America back on the right track—while we still can.

The Democratic's don't care about the Debt. They never did. I just hope 51%+ of American's don't care about the Democratic's.

REPEAL & REPLACE the Democratics
