Fwd: April news: Senate votes to support sustainable communities

SO now it is complete. You are funding Agenda 21.  Americans in cages, loss of private property more restrictions.
Communism at its finest.
Another special interest lobby.  Idaho will soon be owned and controlled by communist China. 
look at all of the globalist we just gave our borrowed money to

Welcome to the Global UN take over.
These people need to be replaced.
Maybe they forgot we have no money,  or they missed economics in school.

How nice of the Senate to put Americans in cages while the animals watch.

Subject: April news: Senate votes to support sustainable communities
To: snookie3180@gmail.com


Dear Neil,

This morning, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved its FY 2013 budget for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. The bill would restore $50 million in funding to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Sustainable Communities Initiative, and fund the Department of Transportation's TIGER program at $500 million.

To those of you who took time to write or your Senator on behalf of this issue, THANK YOU! This victory would not have been possible without your help!

The Senate's vote is a huge step forward for the Partnership for Sustainable Communities' work this year. The Partnership programs are already helping communities across the country use their resources more wisely and support their local economy - read more about these communities on our Partnership blog.

Our work on this issue isn't finished, but we're grateful to everyone who took the time to voice their support. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Geoff Anderson,
President and CEO,
Smart Growth America
