Capito Announces this Week's Winning YouCut proposal

Press Release

This week's winning YouCut proposal would prohibit the funding of promotional signage for stimulus projects, saving the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

Just a few weeks ago, this idea was suggested by an individual in the YouCut community. Now, the idea has been brought to the House floor for an up-or-down vote.

"Over one million people have voted to cut wasteful spending and thousands more have suggested their own solutions to reining in the budget. Americans are frustrated with the reckless spending in Washington, and they're sick and tired of the gross abuse of taxpayer money on pet projects and questionable programs," stated Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va), a member of the Economic Recovery Working Group.

YouCut is designed to change the culture of spending into a culture of saving in Congress. It encourages Americans to vote, both online and on cell phones, on spending cuts they want to see the House enact. Thousands of Americans have also suggested their own ideas on how congress can save.
