S. 2590, proposed by Senators Coburn and Obama, would create a website with access to information on nearly all of who receive federal funding. But there’s one problem, someone has placed a secret hold on it. Porkbusters wants to know who.
Who is the secret holder? We want to know, and we want your help finding out. Call your Senator, and ask them to go on the record denying that they placed the hold. Then e-mail Porkbusters and let us know what they said! Senators who issue denials will be removed from the suspect list — and those who do not, won’t!
