How Many In Congress Will Sign-On to the 5 Pledges

We are at one of those rare moments when we have to stand up and declare what we stand for as individuals, political parties, and as a nation. Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck has a list of 5 simple pledges that I for one want to know if my elected officials are on board with or not. Sen. Brown I can pretty much count out but I will be inquiring with his office non-the-less as to whether he is for America or not.

Becks 5 pledges are (and I’m including a screen shot of them at the bottom of this post)…

1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.
2. I believe that government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.
3. I believe that more than four decades of U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support a plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas, and coal as necessary.
4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over U.S. citizens.
5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.

I suspect that my Congressman, Jim Jordan, will agree with all 5 pledges. Sherrod Brown or Jorge Voinovich, I’m pretty sure they will avoid the topic. Where do your Congresscritters fall on the subject? Isn’t it YOUR duty to find out?

As promised…
