5.21.09: Oberstar takes on an amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act which seeks to defund an airport simply because it is named after Representative John Murtha.
"By act of Congress to say we're going to terminate essential air service funding to a rural community in this America, 150 of us are at risk. If by legislative fiat you can say no to funding this community, no to the people in rural America who want access to greater America, then we're all at risk. This is wrong. This is mean-spirited. Vote it down."
