Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) introduces an amendment to the Transportation/Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill that would end federal funding of the John Murtha Airport in Johnstown, Penn. The airport has received almost $200 million in funds over the past 20 years, including $800,000 in stimulus funds earlier this year to repave a rarely used alternative runway (Sept. 16, 2009).

  • This is great!

  • @JaneHallNC ~ so where you hypocrites when bush and reagan created most of our debt?

  • and even more outrageous, jim the hypocrite demint blocked the transportation safety administrations appointment on labor issues. meanwhile no one headed the agency to over see security in airports. but don't that let these scumbags blame obama for the xmas day underpants bomber.

    demint is one of the biggest snakes in the senate. racist cracker.

  • How about Patriot Act or SORNA...how many millions are wasted there without factual PROOF that these acts benefit the public safety.

  • DeMint offered an amendment to stop this money from going to this airport. we all know the airport DOES NOT need any money since it only gets 3 flights a day to and from DC.

    The amendment was defeated 53-43.

    Amendment. 2410 to H.R. 3288.

    Five Dems voted against it, two republicans voted for it, Bond of MO. and Voinovich of Ohio.

    Call your senator and if they voted yes, ask them WHY.

  • easily

  • I bet that airport donated heavily to Murtha's campaign.

  • borderline spam there JPK7777777

  • Enough is enough! DeMint for President 2012!
