For those of you who watch NBC,

Three "Republicans" out of 535 members of Congress have voted for the biggest pork bill ever presented before Congress in the history of this great Nation.

Those who voted for this bill were:
Arlene Specter 202-224-4254
Susan Collins 202-224-2523
Olympia Snowe 202-224-5344 800 number for you in Maine, 800-432-1599


This so called stimulus package includes:

125 m(illion) for the DC sewer system
75 m for the Smithsonian
900m for green vehicles
180 m for bureau of land management buildings
110m for new buildings for US Fish and Wildlife
412 m center of disease control buildings
100 m US Marshall buildings construction
307 m National standards and technology buildings
60 m to make Arlington National Cemetery green
110 m for new computers at the National Farm Services
200 m to add alternative fuel vehicles on military bases
650 m to extend digital TV transmission.
1.2 Billion for government creation of summer youth jobs
750 m for the National Computer Center
850m for Amtrack on top of all the other money Amtrak already gets
100 m for lead paint removal.

Aren't these programs special? They all enhance government offices. Didn't the liberals in Congress just chastise bank CEO's for taking trips, upgrading offices or taking trips on private jets? If you work for the government, regardless of what you do, you're fine. However, if you are in the private sector and took government money, bend over. This left wing congress wants control of everything. Monday night's press conference might as well have been scripted by Leni Reifenstahl.
