Steve Elliott, Grassfire President

America will not default on our debts. There will not be an economic crisis if the debt ceiling isn't raised. They are lying to us, and Emperor Obama has no clothes. See below. --Steve

Dear Kathy,

It seems we have met the enemy -- and he has no clothes.

I'm talking about Emperor Obama specifically, and more generally the very concept of Big Government. Consider what has happened in recent months to expose Big Government as a naked tyrant.

1. The Sequester. Can you recall the "doom and gloom" predictions that came from Obama and the Left if even a modest cutback in government spending actually took place? Well, we survived the sequester just fine. The sky didn't fall.

2. Government Shutdown. Then this month, it was the need for a "clean CR" and Harry Reid's government shutdown. Nine days into the partial shutdown, society marches on despite all the despicable efforts by Team Obama to make us feel the pain. Again, the sky didn't fall.

3. Debt Ceiling And Default! Now, we're being told that the world will end if we don't raise the debt limit by October 17 because America will default on its debts. Here are a few words lifted from Obama's press conference on Tuesday. Again, these are words from the mouth of the President of the United States:

"... economic chaos ... cause a recession ... crash the global economy ... possibility of default ... cause economic chaos ... dramatically worse ... insane ... catastrophic ... chaos ... a nuclear bomb ... disrupt markets ... economic shutdown ... very deep recession ... economic catastrophe ..."

These doom-and-gloom remarks all come from one speech -- yesterday's press conference. Emperor Obama says, once again, the sky is falling.

Emperor Obama has no clothes.

+ + Why America Will Not Default ...

Obama's scare tactics are simply not true. Even if the debt ceiling is not raised next week, the sky will not fall and we will not default on our debt.

The fact is, there's plenty of money coming in to pay our debt servicing. The debt-ceiling issue only means the government will have to live within a balanced budget.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told FOX News yesterday that President Obama is using the threat of default to scare Americans "to death." As reported in The New York Times, Paul said:

“If you don’t raise your debt ceiling, all you’re saying is, ‘We’re going to be balancing our budget.’ So if you put it in those terms, all these scary terms of, ‘Oh my goodness, the world’s going to end’ -- if we balance the budget, the world’s going to end? Why don’t we spend what comes in?”

Sen. Paul is not alone. Many members of Congress are joining with him to reject Obama's catastrophic threats. Economists are also dismissing the fear. And Moody's Investor Services said this week:

"We believe the government would continue to pay interest and principal on its debt even in the event that the debt limit is not raised, leaving its creditworthiness intact. ... There is no direct connection between the debt limit ... and a default."

+ + Take Action To Expose The Naked "Emperor" Of Big Government!

Americans have been sold a lie -- that we cannot live without Big Government or ANY cutbacks. Obama and the Left want us to believe the consequences of not raising the debt ceiling will be "catastrophic" and cause "economic chaos," the likes of which we've never seen.

Lies.

As a true Alinsky disciple, Obama is bluffing and bullying. "We the People" must call his bluff and show America once-for-all that the Emperor of Big Government has no clothes!

Call Obama's bluff! Go here now to sign the updated national petition that says "I Oppose Raising The Debt Limit"<http://www.grassrootsaction.com/r.asp?U=335800&CID=154&RID=30667800>:

Obama doesn't get a blank check. And the time is now to reign in the "Emperor-in-Chief." As soon as 100,000 petitions are gathered, Grassfire representatives will present them to those members in the House and Senate who are fighting Emperor Obama and his desire to raise the debt ceiling.
