Quote of the Day:
"The President has kept all of the promises he intended to keep." --George Stephanopolous, accidentally speaking truth on behalf of President Clintonduring Clinton's first term
 
Subject: Update on the Enumerated Powers Act for September, 2009
 
 
The Enumerated Powers Act (HR 450) would require Congress to identify theConstitutional authority for each law it passes. We think this requirement is an importantstep on the long road to restoring Constitutional limits and the Bill of Rights.
 
When we last reported to you on August 11 the bill had 48 co-sponsors in the House.Good news! Now it has 51!
 
Unfortunately, the companion bill in the Senate (S. 1319) is still stuck at 21 co-sponsors,but perhaps we can change that.We think letters to Congress from DC Downsizers have played a big role in recruiting allof these co-sponsors. We know of no other organization that is pushing this bill at all, letalone as much as we have. Let's keep pushing.
 
First, check the lists below to see if one or more members of your Congressionaldelegation is already co-sponsoring this legislation.Then, use our Educate the PowerfulSystem

Time to keep the pressure on. Many probably have NO clue about this, so time to inform them.
