Stevens Throws (Another) Tantrum Email Print

This time, he's holding the Defense Spending Bill hostage.  

As disingenuous as it was to consider Arctic Refuge drilling in budget reconciliation, its proponents should not be permitted to trade one cheap trick for another. Their most recent statements claiming the Defense Appropriations bill a suitable vehicle are indefensible. An Arctic drilling provision would force a delay and likely doom passage of funding for our troops on the ground in Iraq and elsewhere.

Please give your reps and senators a call; and tell Stevens to !@#$%& grow up while you're at it.
