Ok lets just jump right over all the bullshit and get down to the facts. This stimulus package is full of pork! and I mean democratic pork!
After the dems figured the right was not buying this huge spending package, they went back to work and cut the following from the package:
Items Cut:
-- $3.5 billion for energy-efficient federal buildings (original bill was for $7 billion)
-- $75 million for Smithsonian (original bill was for $150 million)
-- $200 million for Superfund (original bill was for $800 million)
-- $100 million for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (original bill was for $427 million)
-- $100 million for Law enforcement wireless (original bill was for $200 million)
-- $300 million for federal fleet of hybrid vehicles (original bill was for $600 million)
-- $100 million for FBI construction (original bill was for $400 million)
Items Fully Eliminated:
-- $55 million for historic preservation
-- $122 million for new Coast Guard polar icebreaker/cutters
This is still not enough. I hope the republicans hold strong and get the rest of the pork cut!

If you haven't already, you should be writing your congressmen daily to let them know NOT to vote for this package the way it is.
Needless to say this stimulus package will be passed in some form, however lets have a voice in how this is done! It is important that each of you call or fax the 3 republicans who have promised to vote for this stimulus package. Ask them to please keep every American in mind as they vote. Obama met with each of the republicans at the White House, there is no knowing what was promised to these republicans.
