Sample Elected Officials Letter
Dear Senator/Congressman XXX:
It has come to my attention that the federal government is in a $56,400,000,000,000 financial hole that grows by $2 trillion to $3 trillion every year for lack of action by the President and members of Congress. That amounts to a burden of $184,000 on every American citizen. These are just a few of many unnerving figures offered in a primer titled "The State of the Union's Finances", published by the nonpartisan Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
I understand that every member of Congress is being provided with a copy of this publication. It can also be found online at www.pgpf.org. I encourage you to read it if you have not already done so. After you read it, I respectfully request that you tell me what you are doing to defuse the ticking time bomb that is the federal government's financial condition. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Your Name
