Do you agree on the Ban of Special Interest funds allotment to the Federal Emergency Management Assistance?

Federal Emergency Management Assistance should be readily available to victims of Natural Disasters without any red tape from Wash, DC. Its really disgraceful to see politicians tacking their unrelated special interest fund request to Natural Disaster Aid request bills. While disaster victims are dealing with the loss of home, property, and not to mention loss of life of family and loved ones, politicians are lining up to cash in on their special interests before they make any attempt to aid disaster victims. FEMA should be allowed to aid victims of disasters without delay or obstruction from Wash, DC lobbyist. Do you agree that we should have a ban on attaching unrelated special interest funds to FEMA aid request bills?

    I do agree. However our elected officials apparently are incapable of doing so. Politicians are there to represent their constituents. Apparently the individual citizen doesn't hold much influence because they can't pony up enough $ to buy the good will of their senators or congressmen.

    If you are referring to attaching pork barrel spending to legitimate bill up for a vote, i don't think none of it should be allowed. Every thing should be voted on individually. This will slow down spending and make congress work for its money!

He has invested a minimum of $a million million in a fund that yields tax-unfastened earnings. The Illinois senator's recent campaign-finance disclosure exhibits that his investments have almost tripled interior the previous 2 years to as much as $7.4 million, and his earnings in 2007 surged previous $4 million, no longer counting his government gross sales. Obama reported bills with Morgan Chase inner maximum shopper Asset administration, an elite organization that bargains purely with the wealthy, besides as a bunch of retirement bills, some interior the call of his spouse, Michelle. What a hypocrite (baby-kisser)
