In two weeks (nothing happens fast in Washington DC) the US Senate will take up the massive $825 billion "stimulus" package, which is nothing more that wasteful pork-barrel spending. On Wednesday the House GOP held the line by unanimously voting against the bill. Eleven Democrats joined them thus there was actually bi-partisan support against the stimulus bill. Among other things too numerous to mention, this cross Godzillian disaster actually contains money for Illegal Aliens! UPDATE: The Senate version of the plan is actually approaching $900 billion and interest will add $300 billion to that ($1.2 TRILLION and counting). This plan is a disaster to put it mildly and should be stopped.
COMMON CENTS urges you to call your Senator via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Call your Congressmen and Congresswomen at the same number. If 11 Democratic Senators cross over this will be stopped. Tell them only 42% of Americans support the plan, tell them only a fraction of it will be spend in 2009 or just tell them you don't want to bankrupt future generations of Americans under a mountain of debt with this Trillion Dollar Crap Sandwich.

Funny how we've heard not a peep from the MSM on that bi-partisan support against the bill.
Huh.
Great post.
I emailed my Congressman, Adam Schiff.
I like your blogs, this is football man you asked about a link exchange a few days ago. So I created a link to your blog on mine, can you please do the same for my blog.

I emailed & called my two very blue Washington Senators - but I would be shocked if they actually voted against the "crap sandwich"...
Super job here.
I love it
