Democrat Stimulus Bill must be rewritten - CALL YOUR SENATOR!

As we have written in the space before, the "stimulus bill" is primarily a collection of Democratic party detritus and paybacks to donors from the Presidential campaign. Since the urgency of this legislation was to stimulate the economy, this bill should be killed in the senate. There are many valid programs in the bill and they should be given the time and daylight the legislation process normally provides. This middle of the night robbery of a 900 BILLION dollars (more than most Presidents spend in an entire term (4 years not 2 weeks) is actually a massive spending bill and should not be fast tracked in its present form. If the Senate believes that a stimulus package is needed, they ought to get to work and actually produce one.
