TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK! Crap Sandwich Update

Tonight the US Senate is scheduled to vote on what is affectionately known as the Trillion Dollar Crap Sandwich or the "stimulus bill". This monster of a bill, bigger than the combined costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars is nothing but a drunken orgy of pork-barrel spending. It includes $140 million for unemployed Climate Modelers money to refurbish yachts of the rich and famous. Worse the Congressional Budget office says only $26 billion will be spent this year and only $110 billion will be spent in 2010 when it will actually do some good. The good news in all this is support for this loser of a bill has fallen to only 37% two weeks ago it was 45%.

We can still kill this Trillion Dollar Crap Sandwich. Call the US Capitol switchboard at (202)224-3121. And there are several Senators out there that need to be contacted NOW that are on the fence. These include:
  • Susan Collins - (202) 224-2523 (Republican Maine)
  • Olympia Snowe - (202) 224-5344 (Republican Maine)
  • George Voinovich - (202) 224-3353 (Republican Ohio)
  • Arlin Specter - (202) 224-4254 (Republican Pennsylvania)
  • Dick Lugar - (202) 224-4814 (Republican Indiana)
  • Ben Nelson - (202) 224-6551 (Democrat Nebraska)
  • Blanche Lincoln - (202) 224-4843 (Democrat Arkansas)
  • Jim Webb - (202) 224-4024 (Democrat Virginia)
  • Mark Warner - (202) 224-2023 (Democrat Virginia)
  • Bryon Dorgan - (202) 224-2551 (Democrat North Dakota)
Michelle Malkin has an excellent blog on Who are the Undecided Senators you can read here.
And Senator Lindsey Graham has an excellent video about the "Stimulus" Plan:

Keep up the good work!

I'm praying the majority of Senators will see the crap sandwich for what it is. I've also called & emailed my WA senators as well... (not that there much hope for them).

Support for the so-called stimulus bill is rapidly falling as even BHO's supporters in the electorate can see through the smoke and mirrors.

If some kind of stimulus bill passes, the people are going to be furious. Watch for it.

I've taken to calling it The Succubus Package.....

The seductive demon who drains you and leaves you for dead, this package will do the same.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I'll be sure to add yours to my rolls. Feel free to do likewise!

Have a partial list of what the "Stimulus Package" actually has over my way with a link to a website that has the text of the House & Senate versions.

And yes, a crap-sandwich is only the appetizer...
