Congress plans to attach $25 Billion (with a B) in pork to the emergency war funding supplement bill. Of this $25 Billion, $25 Million will be going to spinach farmers that were hurt during the spinach e-coli scare.
Because of this (and other reasons like war timetables), we here at HSTBS urge you to contact your elected D.C. delegates opposing the current version of the bill and supporting a clean bill that can fund the efforts of our men and women who are putting their lives on the line for our freedoms.
Republican Presidential Candidate Fred Thompson recently gave a good commentary on this bill while filling in for Paul Harvey.
