The Campaign for Liberty, which is chaired by former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, has launched petitions opposing raising the federal debt ceiling. John Tate, the president of the Campaign for Liberty, sent out an email to supporters on Tuesday night urging them to stand against raising the debt ceiling, insisting this was the best opportunity in years to force Congress to cut spending and finally balance our out-of-control federal budget.

Tate maintained limiting the debt ceiling was like cutting up our federal government's credit cards and finally forcing Congress to live within its means. Tate also bashed the Obama administrations record on federal spending.
