Other notes:
<br>
First paragraph, delete the hyphen in "two-years".
<br>
Second and third paragraphs redundantly use both the sign "$" and word
<br>
"Dollars".
<br>
The first Resolved reads that the LNC is okay with an increase to the
<br>
debt ceiling as long as it's tied to spending cuts. I'd prefer to delete
<br>
"not tied to spending cuts".
<br>
<br>
I believe this can be more quickly and efficiently handled with a press
<br>
release.
