"Bush Rhetoric" (actual quotes)-
“We're dealing with first-time responders to make sure they've got what's needed to be able to respond. “ – Bush, 3/27/2002

"Reality" (actual bush actions w. links)-
'Bush had been saying that he was proposing $3.5 billion in “new” money for first responders. However, his budget tried to cut more than $1 billion out of existing grants to local police/fire departments to fund this. Then, in August of 2002, Bush rejected $150 million for grants to state and local first responders. Bush’s decision prompted the President of the Firefighters Union to say, “President Bush, don't lionize our fallen brothers in one breath, and then stab us in the back by eliminating funding for our members to fight terrorism and stay safe.” The President of the Virginia firefighters association said, “The president has merely been using firefighters and their families for one big photo opportunity.”'

17 examples ranging from veterans to healthcare to fiscal responsibility

Most of us already know about this stuff, but it's nice to have the direct before and after quotes.

The most amazing part is this is actually put out by democrats who aren't sucking up or laying down. Facts not rhetoric.
The (once) powerful appropriations democrats are starting to stand up for our country.

These facts need to get out.
