I'm sure there were more. Those were just the earmarks from the main appropriations bills for the year in question.
Note that all of the dollars were marked NBR (no budget request) and "C" (items added in conference). No paper trail for who requested the funding. Sweet, huh?
Our government has become totally unaccountable.
And the Bush-bots (I used to be one) just turn a blind eye.
I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. $15 million? UGH!
I guess that's acceptable now that they are a "civil rights" group. /s
Oh, wonderful. Prior to the Clinton administration, white supremacy was dying a slow, natural death. Now, after eight years of Clintonista affirmative action, 9/11, and the rise of La Raza, the Kook Klux Klan and the Neo-Ratzis are back in force.
If the government isn't going to stand up against the drug gangs and the illegals, the citizens are- and it's not going to be all touchy-feely and rainbow flags. It'll be terror by night. Personally, I prefer that the government do it's job.
The governor teaches English to illegal immigrants.

Yeah, I gues that if you lived in Moscow 30 years ago, and were under the tutelage and thumb of Breznev and the Politboro, it would be sweet : )
And all of a sudden in 2005 they get $15.2 million after getting fairly nominal sums since 2000?
You were far too intelligent not to see what has transpired.
"Personally, I prefer that the government do it's job."
Good Lord! Don't we all!
"I would love to out the specific traitor (s) who, every year, run this little con game for La Raza. There will be a special place reserved in hell for these swine. I would very much like to find their names"
If you ever find out, please FReepmail me.
Paying an enemy big money to flog you..............highly masochistic, is it not?
The cynic in me wants to say...
"It takes a lot of money to fund those demonstrations supporting amnesty and against HR4437. "
And what other happy event occurred in 2005? The formation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, which appears to be an expansion of NAFTA. The push is on and its our own government pushing.

I doubt anyone will ever know. I found this description of the earmarking process in an LA Times article in May (about Ken Calvert):
And the process traditionally occurs behind closed doors, without public notice or hearings. Spokespeople for the House Appropriations and Transportation committees, for instance, refuse to provide information on lawmakers' earmark requests or their justifications for projects. As a result, an individual lawmaker quietly can obtain funding to help constituents, interest groups, lobbyists or even themselves.

I know. I know (sigh).
Series, I like your homepage. It's refreshing to see more businessmen on this site.
If we could get the rest to understand simple Economics.

You know that in Czarist Russia, for example, many of the members of the revolutionary parties were actually on the czarist payroll, supposedly as informants.
