It is time for all elected officials that have signed the NORQUIST PLEDGE, to retract any allegiance to it. In order to fulfill their obligation as elected officials they must look at each and every issue brought before a governmental body on its own merits. Write to your elected officials and ask them to withdraw their signature from this document. Allow your elected officials to act not because of a pledge but because they believe in what they are doing. This is one way of stopping the gridlock. I suggest people also become who Grover Norquist is, what he stands for and which organizations benefit from his pledge. THE OATH OF OFFICE IS THE ONLY PLEDGE THAT ELECTED OFFICIALS SHOULD BE HELD TO.
