Dear [recipient name was inserted here],
I have serious concerns that Congress cannot control spending. It seems that the Republicans spend as much or more than the Democrats. Congressmen boast about the pork you bring home to buy votes from constituents. Because of the lack of self control shown by Congress, I support the following two pieces of legislation.
Government Efficiency Act - H.R.5766
This House bill would establish a Federal Review Commission to make recommendations on improving the efficiency of government agencies and programs.
Abolishment of Obsolete Agencies and Federal Sunset Act - H.R.3282
This House bill would create the Federal Agency Sunset Commission to periodically review the public need for each government agency.
Together, I believe these two seperate, but similar, bills can help eliminate vast amounts of government waste. Slow moving, ineffective, and inefficient government agencies must be improved or eliminated. Government agencies have no incentive to improve themselves. They must spend their full budget or lose financing. The many government agencies created by Congress must have fiscal accountability.
I ask you to vote for these bills when they come before you. I would also like to know your thoughts on this issue.
Sincerely,
Steve Harris
