Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction...stiff-armed

[Doyle Phillips]

Tried emailing some of the Super Committee members but as my zip code is outside their district I am told to contact my own rep. In other words, the members get no direct comments from a majority of the concerned public.

My message would have been: save taxpayer money by getting rid of the misbegotten Office of Faith Based Initiatives. The individual states can continue it as needed. (Let your rep know you agree.)--Doyle Phillips
