Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) introduced YouCut two days ago to allow people to vote on spending cuts that you want to see the House enact.
From Eric Cantor’s site:
YouCut – a first-of-its-kind project – is 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 enact. Vote on this page today for your priorities and together we can begin to change Washington’s culture of spending into a culture of savings.
Here are some of the House programs you can vote on:
- Presidential Election Fund ($260 million in savings)
- Taxpayer Subsidized Union Activities ($600 million in savings)
- HUD Program for Doctoral Dissertations ($1 million in savings)
- New Non-Reformed Welfare Program ($2.5 billion in savings)
- Eliminate Wealthier Communities from CDBG ($2.6 billion in savings)
Here’s Eric Cantor introducing the YouCut program:
