Update: Last Week's YouCut Vote Results + Time To Vote Again

Last week 280,000 Americans voted to cut wasteful welfare spending.  Now there are five more proposed spending cuts for you to vote on. If you get an error message, try again, because a lot of people may be attempting to access the vote at the same time.  By the way, Democrat Alcee Hastings is a bit unhappy with this idea.  All the more reason to bookmark the YouCut page and continue casting your votes every week.

Tired of Big Government Spending?  Then YouCut It!
by Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va)

Two weeks ago, I wrote on BigGovernment that the GOP Today is much different than the party was a few years back.  I was glad that my post generated attention, and very pleased to read through the different responses – both positive and skeptical.    Today I write again for two reasons.  First, to announce an exciting new project devised by the House Republican Economic Working Group.  Second, to take another step in earning your trust by showing you that we understand that actions speak louder than words.

Today, we are launching YouCut – a first-of-its-kind project designed to defeat the permissive culture of runaway spending in Congress.  It allows YOU to vote, both online and on your cell phone, on spending cuts that you want to see the House – YOUR HOUSE – enact.   That’s right, instead of Washington telling YOU how THEY will spend YOUR money, YOU can tell THEM how to save it.  After several days of voting, on Monday, May 17^th, we will announce the first winner and later that week House Republicans will call for an up-or-down vote on the spending cut.  We will repeat this cycle every week for the rest of the year.
