  1. I need to get this straight. There is onepoint nine million availible for NPO’s that are at high risk for terrorist attacks?! I’m a dyed in blue democrat and this still seems like the largest waste of money, well, at least today, that I’ve
    heard. It’s stuff like this that makes me want to run for office.

    I know who will aplly and get this too. Over bloated, top heavy conglomerates like United Way and Easter Seals. Pisses me off!
