Porkulus II: States Held Hostage and Governors would be bypassed

This is an Email I recieved from the Tea Party Patriots, and it includes some very good information about the stimulus congress is working on which will attempt to bypass the governors of the states and force the money on them as well as the tax increases needed to pay for it. This has to stop.

PORKULUS II BILL
There will be a vote tomorrow on the second Stimulus bill. Talking points and targeted Congressmen to contact are listed below.

Porkulus II: States Held Hostage

Why is Congress demanding governors and mayors fire teachers, cops, and firefighters before cutting ridiculous spending like this:

$120,000,000 spent on state-run liquor stores - Washington State

$39,608,662 spent on neighborhood & recreational services - Newark, New Jersey

$7,000,000 spent on museums - Oakland, California

$1,607,367 spent on awards and prizes at county fairs - Illinois

$1,000,000 spent on mural art - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

$750,000 spent on the opera house - Baltimore, Maryland

The Porkulus II:

Forces states to take bailout dollars, bypassing Governors who refuse the money, and forbidding them from making necessary budget cuts.

Gives teachers unions roughly $50 - $100 million through trickle-down.

Will increase the deficit by $12.6 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Will result in a permanent tax increase of $9.7 billion for U.S. multinational companies - increasing the cost of doing business and risking jobs during the recession. (Interestingly, the revenue from these same tax increases have already been spent...twice, in two other pieces of legislation!)

The fact is the federal government cannot afford to bailout states who refuse to cut back spending. In case Nancy Pelosi forgot, the American people still fund the federal government. If states can't afford it, neither can the federal government. Bailing out states and extending failed stimulus programs only perpetuates states' reliance on the federal government.
State Bailouts
This week Speaker Pelosi has called the House of Representatives back to Congress. The intent is to spend another $26.1 Billion. The House of Representatives will vote on 2 bills this week:

1. HR 1586, which was originally a House FAA bill and has now been replaced as a $26.1 billion bailout that includes $10 billion to teacher salaries and $16.1 billion for exte....

2. The House will take up the privileged resolution that Congressman Tom Price has introduced to insure there is not a lame duck session of Congress unless there is an emergency. It is our understanding that since this is a privileged resolution it cannot be blocked from being voted.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
