Okay y'all, I'm not normally the type of girl who thrusts her political opinions on other folks, but I recently got wind of some disturbing news out of Washington. I'm going to try my best to explain what's going on here, but to get the full story, you really need to take just five minutes of your time and read the full story from the source, the APCB. This will only take a second. Read my rant and then click on the link below. I'll be glad you did.

So I know that there are a lot of folks out there criticizing President Bush for the war and the economy and Hurricane Katrina and whatnot, but this is something that really caught my attention. It seems that the White House working to get final say over our tax dollars. See, you know how Congress is the one that approves the federal budget each year, while the White House only proposes a suggested budget? Well, if this law is passed then the President will have complete control over the budget. That means any program that the White House wants will get funding, and any program that it opposes will disappear without any checks and balances, whatsoever. It seems that Bush is trying to get this new legislation passed by using fear tactics on various Congressmen. Once the right senators are convinced to support it, everyone else on Capitol Hill will be too scared to vote against it. Every senator and representative will know that a vote against the bill will mean a major cut in federal funding for the folks back home. This is a brazen breach of the Constitution's checks and balances. But don't listen to me, CLICK HERE to find out more about the administration's disregard for the laws written by the founding fathers. Shoot, CLICK HERE even if you're not convinced. The APCB explains the situation infinitely better than I can!
