Open Letter to Florida's U.S. Senators
Tuesday, August 29, 2006   By: Juan Paxety

Pork busting

The non-partisan web site Porkbusters.org is trying to find out which Senator is blocking a bill that would allow citizens easy access to knowledge about who's getting federal funding. Here's the email I've sent to Florida's two senators:

Senators Barak Obama and Tom Colburn have introduced S. 2590 which would create a single web page referencing recipients of almost all federal funding.

The bill is not going forward because a Senator (or several Senators) has put a "secret hold" on the bill.

Did you put the "secret hold" on S. 2590?

I'll post any answer - or lack thereof - I receive.
