Can the blogosphere help cut some of the pork in the federal budget to support Katrina relief? To date I think so and so does the Blogfather, Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit who tells you how to do it.
Go to N.Z. Bear's new PorkBusters page and list the pork, and add a link to your post. Then call your Senators and Representative and ask them if they're willing to support having that program cut or -- failing that -- what else they're willing to cut in order to fund Katrina relief. (Be polite, identify yourself as a local blogger and let them know you're going to post the response on your blog). Post the results. Then go back to NZ Bear's page and post a link to your followup blog post.
In one day, some $13 billion has been identified. Can you add more? If we can put pressure on all our Congressmen to cut the pork, especially the obscenely over-loaden transportation bill, it will be easier to pay for the necessary infrastructure in the Gulf states.
