Pork bill is dangerous to your health

Negotiations Start On The "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009"

Negotiators for Congress and the White House have tentatively settled on a $790 billion price tag on President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill and are working to narrow differences on individual elements of the bill.

Republican Senators are questioning whether President Barack Obama's stimulus bill contains the right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the economy.

Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).

Call your Senators (Republican and Democrat) and tell them to ask the negotiators to remove this provision. Contact information can be found at www.senate.gov or call 202-224-3121.
