I have the same problem. I keep getting letters beginning with:

“Have you left the Republican Party?”

My answers is, NO! The Republican Party has left me!

Another Murtha prime cut is the National Drug Intelligence Center. According to the agency the NDIC was created by Congress in 1991 to develop better strategic intelligence for the nation’s remarkably unsuccessful counter-drug policymakers in the U.S. Department of Justice.

Its 300 employees--including 120 researchers--needed $509 million last year to continue investigating the country’s drug problems despite annual White House efforts to shut it down as “wasteful and unnecessary,” government documents show.

$1.69 million per employed person? Where's the graft going? It's certainly not being spent on what it was "earmarked" for. That group should have a rough budget of $40-60 million at most. Maybe if they had some very expensive equipment, up to 70 mil. The rest is being siphoned off for someone's pockets.

Let's hope and pray that Col Russell can knock Murtha out of the box and that Craig Williams will sink cut and run Joe Sestak.
