BBA Is Top Issue In 2012 Presidential
Step 5-Target Date: October 1, 2012
From hosting a Presidential Primary Debate, to candidate pledges, to vote communications, we need to ensure the balanced budget amendment is THE ISSUE in the 2012 presidential election. We want to ensure that no matter who wins, there’s a firm commitment to pass a balanced budget amendment early in the next presidential term. The Deficit Free grassroots army of millions of voters from every congressional district will be activated.

Congress Refers BBA to States by 2013
After two Congressional elections and the election or re-election of a president, it will be time for Congress to act. We will push Congress to refer to the states the balanced budget amendment prior to the Independence Day recess.
