The True Congressional Oath
Tell your representatives in Congress that the oath they sign to defend the Constitution is the only oath they should sign. Renounce any and all other oaths that restrict the proper functioning of our national government.
Why is this important?
A large number of Congressional Republicans have signed an oath not to ever raise taxes for any reason. This oath has hamstrung our Congress from effectively dealing with the financial crisis that our nation faces -- there are a number of very reasonable revenue raising ideas that go nowhere because of this pledge. No matter what proposals come from Democrats, they are immediately rejected because Republicans can only support budget cuts, which is the primary reason that our Congress remains deadlocked on just about every issue.
