Here is a video worth saving. Hooray for YouTube.

Who is Joe Knollenberg? A Republican Congressman from Michigan. We read on his website:

Elected to Congress in 1992, Knollenberg is the ranking member on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation and Housing and Urban Development. In this role, Knollenberg utilizes his stature in Congress to fight for Oakland County's fair share of federal money for local road projects and other priorities such as environmental clean ups of the Rouge River.

In short, he is a porkmaster.

It did him no good. He was defeated in 2008, 52% to 43%. Yet his district was considered automatic for a Republican.

When a Congressman is approached by the special interests in his district, who want lots more pork, he looks at the taxpayers' money and says, "It's not their money."

The Federal government is going bankrupt because of this attitude. For proof, click here:

Politicians put their votes where their beliefs are. "It's not your money." It's theirs, to be spent to get re-elected.

Forward this to your friends.
