Dear Editor,
I have reached the boiling point! This week I read in Fox News online that my tax dollars are being spent to by the Federal Government, to the tune of $2.6 million, to make sure prostitutes in China drink less on the job!

“That’s the goal of a five-year study, bankrolled by the National Institutes of Health, designed to help lower HIV infections among China’s “female sex workers,” www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/14/government-funds-million-program-make-chinese-prostitutes-drink/

Then, I find out that “Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina. The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk — and just what can be done about it.” www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/08/government-funds-study-gay-sex-argentina-bars/

And there is still more, all in the same week! “The federal government is spending $178,000 to better understand why drug-abusing prostitutes in Thailand are at greater risk for HIV infection, an endeavor taxpayer watchdogs are calling a huge waste of American taxpayers’ money….But women aren’t its only target. The two-year project, made possible by a grant from the NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, is also studying kathoey, the transgender prostitutes who are widely accepted in Thailand because of the “karmic idea in Buddhism,” and who have especially high HIV infection rates, according to the study’s abstract.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/20/nih-spends-study-prostitutes-thailand-high-hiv-risk/?test=latestnews

I am angry! And you should be, too!  What are OUR tax dollars doing going to China and Argentina and Thailand for such sinful and worse than wasteful purposes?  I think it is time we ALL get together and vote out everyone who is not standing up and fighting against such horrendous waste of our money.  Those who are going to spend OUR money like this cannot be trusted!.  It is time for a tax revolution!  What do you say?!?!  This is what the Tea Parties are all about!  Join us at the Tea Party – at the Court House in Jefferson, June 29th, 6 PM!
