"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

SOLD: Obama Trades Airport Grants for Stupak's Vote

Cong Stupak played a good game of standing up for pro-life when it seems all he wanted was money for three airports the way it is looking. Selling out the unborn for earmarks should get him tossed out of his seat come 2 November. We know it is Michigan but even then a lot of constituents are going to be more concerned about pro-life then dollars thrown at airports. Maybe the Congressman from Texas should have waited to apologize for saying 'baby killer' -- the truth is gradually coming out about what these Democrats got in return for their votes.

Once again the Democrats have lived up to the title of this site -- Democrats for Sale! Their votes are always for sale it seems even when it means sacrificing the lives of the unborn. BTW, rumor has it that Obama didn't sign the Executive Order on abortion when he signed the bill. Do you think he may have said one thing to Stupak and is going to do something different? Now would the US Socialist President do that? In a heartbeat as he keeps going back on his campaign promises one by one. His word is worth ZERO!

SOLD: Obama Trades Airport Grants for Stupak's Vote3/23/2010

Obama Administration Awarded Hundreds of Thousands in Airport Grants to Stupak’s District Two Days Before Vote Was this Yet Another Backroom Deal to Force Obama’s Bill Down the American People’s Throats?

Three airports in the district of infamous fence-sitting and ultimately kowtowing Democrat Bart Stupak were awarded $726,409 in grants by the Obama Administration just two days before a vote on Obama and Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare.
Did Stupak compromise his supposed principled stand against taxpayer funding of abortion in exchange for taxpayer dollars for pet projects?

Alpena County Regional Airport received a $85,500 grant, but had only 7,519 passenger boardings in 2008 (the most recent year for which there is information) according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data. Alpena County Regional Airport serves fewer passengers than even the late Rep. John Murtha’s famous “Airport for Nobody.”

Delta County Airport has even less customers than that, but still received a $179,209 grant.

Chippewa County International Airport received a $461,700 grant, but had only 13,733 passenger boardings in 2008.

Will Stupak come clean about this apparent backroom deal for his vote?

Call Stupak’s district office at (989) 356-0690 and ask.
