PLEASE NOTE: EarmarkWatch is an experimental distributed research project that contains data for Fiscal Year 2008 earmarks from the House and Senate Labor-HHS-Education bills and the 2008 House Defense Bill.

It does not contain 2009 earmarks. Congress released earmark disclosures for an omnibus bill that included three of the twelve regular appropriations bills—Defense, Homeland Security, and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs—for fiscal year 2009.

A downloadable spreadsheet listing those earmarks is available from Taxpayers for Common Sense (xls).

This is a duplicate program as the American Red Cross. The current program is sufficently complex and time consuming, as the request for rare blood must be documented by a complete workup performed by only specified blood centers, which delays obtaining this blood. A duplicate service will only make obtaining blood for patients more complex and result in more delays.

A wasteful program. No value to country in general. If it is this important to Puget Sound then they should use local funds.
