openly promote the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan and urge the public to call on the Congress to adopt it

The bipartisan plan put forth by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is a highly rational and responsible way to reduce the federal deficit and debt while preserving important investments for the future and ensuring the long-term sustainability of social safety net programs.
The plan, or a version based on it, deserves to be well explained and publicised in a truthful and unbiased way to encourage a sincere national discussion on the topic.
Informed citizens will ultimately influence the Congress to adopt the recommendations of the Commission, for the benefit of the nation.
