In the United States legislative appropriations process, Congress is required, by the limits specified under Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution, to pass legislation directing all appropriations of money drawn from the U.S. Treasury. This provides Congress with the power to earmark funds it appropriates to be spent on specific named projects. The earmarking process has become a regular part of the process of allocating funds within the Federal government.
I-69 is the proposed TTC.Liar! That is a request for existing I-69 improvements, NOT the TTC. SHOW us where he asked for funds for the TTC!
If you're saying that means that legislators are required to submit all earmark requests backing up Sandra's false point, you are wrong. If it were illegal Coburn would be prosecuted.Hey troll:

And what makes me wrong troll? Back your trolling up.
All congressmen MUST submit these earmarks fron constituents.
First I need to know what point you're making.And what makes me wrong troll? Back your trolling up.
What you appeared to defend:
Kylejack hasn't been proven wrong yet...
I-69 is the proposed TTC.
Like I said, maybe you're right I just need to know what point you're making or defending.come on troll... very weak... that's your problem? cause sandra said 'must'?
Of course he's important to us, and he's the best member of Congress by miles.I'm making the point that Congress has the duty, obligation and constitutional authority to appropriate funds, and doing so is not a fault of Ron Paul... instead, it's a strength. He's taking money from bloated bureaucracies, and investing it in growth in his community. All things considered, I like his option as a working solution to the more serious problem which he attacks and has made a career out of fighting. I'll also remind you, he's so important to us because of the good fight that he's fought alone for years. All of a sudden, Mr. Expert Troll thinks he's bad for something he did which he SHOULD have done and has the legislative authority to do. What's more, if more congressman would vote against the bloated budgets WITH Ron Paul, we wouldn't be bitching about earmarks... well, you would cause you're a troll.
Of course he's important to us, and he's the best member of Congress by miles.
Doesn't change the fact that I have an honest disagreement with him on earmarks and wish he would take the Coburn approach.
Well of course I was upset by the newsletters as well.

Amy, this thread is about Don Young, not some months old thread! Perhaps start a new thread if you would like to discuss that so we don't take this one further off-topic!
