TRIM is a non-political nationwide network of educational committees and individuals organized to reduce out-of-control federal spending. TRIM seeks lower taxes and less government by influencing the U.S. House of Representatives -- which controls federal spending -- through voter education. The TRIM Bulletin, published three times a year, is available for each of the 435 House members and contains a report card on the congressman's votes on recent major spending bills. Millions of these bulletins have been distributed nationwide in recent years -- with dramatic results.
A. In 1958, Robert Welch made a two-day presentation -- later to be published as The Blue Book -- to a small group of friends. This meeting culminated in the founding of the John Birch Society. A key point made by Mr. Welch at that founding meeting was: "The increasing quantity of government, in all nations, has constituted the greatest tragedy of the twentieth century." As a keen student of history, he recognized that "government is always and inevitably an enemy of individual freedom." And so, to battle the burgeoning federal bureaucracy and its "inevitable" encroachments on our liberties, Mr. Welch, in 1974, created TRIM. The only strategy that offered hope of success was to zero in on the constitutionally-mandated control of the nation's purse strings by the House of Representatives. If enough congressmen would withhold funding of unconstitutional big government, it could not grow; it would, in fact, eventually be cut back to within proper limits.
