U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann on Tuesday sent an email to constituents asking for their input, via an automated survey, on the federal debt ceiling debate. The introductory paragraph:
The vote on raising the debt ceiling is drawing near. As I consider the deal(s) put forth by the House, Senate and White House I need to know where my constituents stand. Please take a few moments to answer the question below so I can cast my vote in a manner that best represents my constituents.
This was followed by the question “Should the debt ceiling be raised?”
The available responses were “Yes,” “No,” “Only with a Balanced Budget Amendment and significant budget cuts,” and “Undecided.”
If survey results are made available, they will be posted here.
Yes the debt ceiling should be raised.
