THE MADNESS OF THE POWER DRUNK REPUBLICAN FASCISTS IS UP FOR VOTE!!!! CALL AND ASK FOR DEFEAT>>>>>JUST READ SOME OF THIS!!!!! It's A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!1 - Bush's attempt to roll back overtime protections for 8 million hardworking families; and
- The FCC's attempt to allow more media monopolization. ALL AMERICANS ARE OPPOSED TO THIS AND IT"S ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED>>>HOW CAN IT BE BACK FOR CONFIRMATION?????????
The House is scheduled to vote on this bill today, Monday December 8th. The Senate may follow suit soon afterward -- unless we help stop them.
One reason is that this giant spending bill is full of pork -- there's something in it for virtually every member of Congress' home district. That's why calls from constituents will be especially important to stop this bill -- they need to know we won't take the bait, that we insist on a better, cleaner bill instead.
Here are some examples of the pork in the Omnibus spending bill:
$50,000,000 to build an indoor rainforest in Iowa.
$2,000,000 for the First Tee Program, to get young people into golf.
$405,000 for industrial lubricants research in Iowa.
$338,000 for the Alabama Beef Connection.
$225,000 for the National Wild Turkey federation, a hunting concern.
$4,000,000 for the International Fertilizer Development Center.
$595,000,000 for Trilogy, an FBI information technology program. $397,700,000 for prison buildings and facilities.
$6,000,000 for a Police Athletic League.
$30,000,000 for the Southwest Border Prosecutors Initiative.
$7,105,000 for construction of an international narcotics control law enforcement academy in Roswell, NM.
Up to $120,000,000 for a classified Defense Department project.
$250,000 for the General Patton Museum of Cavalry & Armor, in Kentucky.
$225,000 for a shopping center in Adelanto, CA.
$500,000 for the "Exercise in Hard Choices" at the U. of Akron, which attempts to replicate House and Senate meetings in which congressional members review a budget, and vote to include or exclude various options.
Not all choices are so hard. This Omnibus spending bill must be stopped.
