Voters Voice Amendment (VVA)

Here we are again. October 1st is around the corner, and that is the first day of the new federal fiscal year.

Today, days away, and the political parties are still messing around, some representatives threatening to shut down the government.

Now, the very rich don't care if the government is functioning, so long as the military is not furloughed. That's their only big concern.

It's the rest of us, you know, that need those government services. We need our Social Security checks on time. We need the Department of Education, we need Health and Human Services, we need Department of Labor, etc.

When you shut down for any period-of-time, it costs US a LOT of money, it doesn't any have to be a long shutdown. The game has to stop.

One way you can make that happen is with the proposed Voter's Voice Amendment (VVA.US).

Congress has two main jobs. That's all they must do. One of them, is to confirm nominees for various government positions. But the big one is passing the Federal budget. They've got the whole year to make it happen.

With the VVA in place, Citizens would be able to pass federal level ballot initiatives. One ballot initiative idea that would prevent the Budget fight shutdowns is; if we are two weeks before the next federal fiscal year, and no FULL year fiscal budget has passed Congress with the President’s signature, then next year’s budget equals the current fiscal year budget, with automatic increases equal to the cost of living from the previous year, applied to each of the budget categories. That will comprise the full year, next fiscal year federal budget.

So, if they don't get their act together two weeks prior to the start of the next fiscal year, this rule kicks in automatically.

No government shutdowns. No time, or our tax money, wasted restarting everything. If Congress can't get the job done, we'll do it for them.
