WHO are they?

Did YOUR Senator add pork to bills?  (Would this be the same “conservative” Senator that has been reported to have the highest travel bills in Congress?)

Did YOU vote for them?

WHY?

Inquiring minds, and your kids, wanna know.

Read the letter in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram then tell us how good the Fort Worth billion dollar “flood control” project sounds.  Better yet, tell a Sandy victim.

Let’s recap - YOUR billion dollar pork added to a bill by YOUR “conservative” Congresswoman has so far produced : her son a job, her son’s friend a restaurant in a flood plain, a wake board park that floods with the polluted river, more debt to move the Fire and Police Training facility, business’s being acquired by eminent domain and soon to be a drive in on a contaminated site.  Someone tell Chris Christie, there’s no money for NY floods, Texas politicians need it.

Sandy bill

Politicians are outraged that the House did not pass the Senate's $60 billion disaster aid bill for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

I wish they all would point their outrage in the correct direction, which would be the senators who added billions of those dollars to be used for pork.

The already-taxpayer-supported Amtrak would receive $336 million, and millions upon billions more going for tree planting, roofs for D.C. buildings and myriad other things that have nothing to do with Sandy.

My solution would be to publish the name of each senator and how much he or she added for their pet projects. All of the Sandy victims, along with the rest of us, could then see the real enemy of the people: the politician who is taking money from the hurricane victims.
