Congress controls the purse strings so Republicans must be ever vigilant to keep these appropriations from being passed. Taking back control of Congress is a must.

Excerpt: Those who supported this bill are our fellow Americans, and we do not question their good will or patriotism. In public policy, however, good intentions alone do not suffice.
