Pentagon Money To Go For….Ted Kennedy Shrine?

The following comes from the Traditional Values Coalition:

“Traditional Values Coalition Executive Director Andrea Lafferty issued the following statement regarding the Omnibus Spending Bill’s $8 million earmark for a shrine to the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA).

‘Just when Americans started to hope that the liberal leadership in the Senate had learned its lesson last November, they do something which is so blatantly hypocritical and offensive.’

Few legislators despised the U.S. military more than the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.).

So where does the Senate include funding for (take a deep breath here because this is going to make your blood boil!) the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate to the tune of $8 million?

It’s right there on page 383. It is part of a $41,400,000 appropriation for the Department of Defense!”
