Embargo Your Tax Money For Change

Feeling helpless to influence local, state and federal policy? Policies and decisions being made for the benefit of the few?

The following is what I sent to my US Senators and Congressman tonight afer reading national news stories about the IRS.  Join me and others willing to embargo tax money for specific issue resolution in the future by visiting Citizens Embargo at Facebook:

My wife and I send money to Washington through out the year with a continual dimming hope that some of the money will be used to benefit the common good.  

Over the past several weeks, there have been major news reports that the IRS says it can not stop sending some $30+ billion dollars over the next five years to identity thieves and illegal immigrants that are committing fraud.

I believe the U.S., if it has the will, would put and end to this today. But, for some reason the will to correct such things does not seem to exist. Can you imagine a multinational for-profit having this type of fraud against it and how quickly the problem would be solved? When I hear these types of stories I wonder why I should send money to the Federal government if they cannot and will not be good stewards of the citizens' money.  

Now my question, do YOU have any concrete steps and actions planned to address this fleecing of America?
