U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Representative,

            You will soon be considering H.R. 2811, the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023, which would provide a responsible increase to the debt ceiling.  On behalf of the more than one million members and supporters of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW), I urge you to support this legislation.

            Government spending has increased exponentially, wreaking havoc on inflation and causing the national debt to reach $31 trillion.  The Limit, Save, Grow Act would help reduce the impact of this reckless spending spree and save taxpayers money.  This legislation would return government spending to fiscal year (FY) 2022 levels, claw back unspent COVID-19 relief dollars, and rescind wasteful spending that was included in the Inflation Reduction Act.  The Limit, Save, Grow Act would also reinstate work requirements to welfare programs.  This provision would bring more Americans back into the workforce and help reduce poverty.  H.R. 2811 also includes the text from H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, and H.R. 277, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2023, which would bring back American energy independence and reduce energy costs, and limit federal regulatory overreach. 

            H.R. 2811 reestablishes fiscal sanity in Washington by recouping unspent COVID-19 relief money, setting a cap on government spending, and enacting commonsense provisions that would get more Americans back to work and bring down energy prices across the country.  For these reasons, I urge you to support H.R. 2811.  All votes related to the Limit, Save, Grow Act may be among those considered for CCAGW’s 2023 Congressional Ratings. 

Sincerely, 
Tom Schatz 
President, CCAGW
