auditcongress.com

Last week was the second full week the AuditCongress.com web site has been up, and what a week it was!  We have been very fortunate to have attracted interest in what we are trying to do, and are grateful for all the support we have received. We noticed a significant spike in traffic and in petition signatures after Professor Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame kindly mentioned us on Monday.  After that, traffic has been steadily higher, with other bloggers and sites linking to us either because of the Instapundit mention, or because they came here via another route.

To have attracted such interest in such a short amount of time tells us that many, many people are interested in finding some way to help restore trust in our government.

Thank you one and all!

The number one thing everyone can do to continue to help and support moving to our goal is to continue to spread the word about AuditCongress.com, and what we are trying to do. When people know about us and what we’d like to accomplish, they’re usually glad to sign the AuditCongess.com petition.

Also, as we move forward, we will need all of the help and support that we can get at a local level! In the coming weeks, we fully intend to broaden our campaign in several ways.  We are initiating a letter writing campaign to Public Officials, including Congressmen.  If you are interested in helping with this you can e-mail us here: Auditor@AuditCongress.com .

We will be taking the call for Congressional audits to the state grassroots level. For this, we will be looking for volunteers from across the country, to write and call their own state’s Congressmen, and ask them to support the AuditCongress.com petition. We will be asking political parties to ask their candidates and incumbents to take the pledge supporting tax transparency, and for their incumbent officials to promote the audit of high Government officials.  We will be looking for support for this effort as well.  In politics, when one person speaks, they are sometimes "hard to hear", but when a group speaks clearly and with one voice,  politicians will take notice!

We will also ask for volunteers to be local activists for congressional audits. We will look for them to organize locally, and work to generate local support for our goals.   We will be publishing pages for every Congressman, and look to local volunteers to help keep these up to date. We hope that this way it will be easy for anyone to see who has is supporting the AuditCongress.com intitiative. All volunteers will be asked to be strictly non-partisan on this issue, as this is not a partisan issue, and to understand that being non-partisan is key to further widespread support for our cause.

Again, if you are interested in becoming an AuditCongress volunteer and would like to further the cause of having high officials audited annually by the IRS, please contact us privately by emailing us at: Auditor@AuditCongress.com

Again, our sincere thanks to everyone for their support!
