Wow. An email from a friend:

Tonight in the House Rules Committee, Rep. Thad McCotter (R-MI), introduced an amendment to the President’s stimulus bill (H.R. 1) that would require any new infrastructure project – roads, bridges, schools, post offices or any other buildings — created by funding provided in H.R. 1 to be named after a member of the United States Armed Forces who was killed in combat or an emergency response provider who was killed in the line of duty.

The amendment was voted down on with all 9 Democrats on the Committee voting no to the 3 Republican yea votes.

It seems that Democrats are determined to name any new projects after themselves. West Virginia may actually be renamed “Byrdland”…

Congress votes on each and every naming or name change. Some days it’s the only sort of legislation passed.

In Canada they name Mountains after service members (or they used to)

I like the sentiment of the amendment, but I have to ask why ANY Republican is amending this POS in the first place? VOTE it DOWN!!

I need to remember that line -- it's so true.

In my opinion, they should be named after our greatest President, Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Keep your eye on Thaddeus, He is a good man and staunch Conservative. Can you say VP material for Sarah Palin?
