Sign the Petition: National TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party Day on April 15
April 7, 2009
Tired of watching Washington politicians frivolously spend their hard-earned money, Americans everywhere are attending TEA parties to voice their opposition to this skyrocketing spending and mounting debt. As a sign of just how prevalent these gatherings – and sentiments – are becoming, next week, many communities in Louisiana and across the country will participate in National TEA Party Day on April 15.
I’ve introduced a resolution in the U.S. Senate to recognize the efforts of these citizens and to support their fight against the federal government’s wasteful spending and bailout policies. Please take a minute today to join the effort and become a Citizen Co-sponsor of my resolution. To sign the petition and become a Citizen Co-Sponsor, please visit www.DavidVitter.com/TeaParty.

On April 15, millions of grassroots voters will assemble in cities and towns across the country for the first National TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party to register their displeasure with our government’s addiction to wasteful spending, bailouts for big business, and higher taxes.
Welcome

Welcome to my blog.
I’ll be posting information here about my work in the Senate, my travels in Louisiana, and the progress we’re making growing and organizing Team Vitter.
This week the Senate is working on President Obama’s proposed federal budget, and I’m offering several amendments to the budget to try to reduce our deficit – by ending TARP and the bailout programs, stopping automatic Congressional pay raises, making welfare recipients pass a drug test to receive benefits, and other common sense steps. Washington’s spending spree has gone on for far too long already, and it’s time we took steps to reign in that run-away spending.
Louisiana families have to budget their checkbooks and can’t spend more than they have. I will continue fighting the Obama Administration and the bureaucrats in Washington who don’t want to live by those same common sense principles.
