Allard Amendment Defeated
Yesterday, Reg•Watch blogged about an amendment introduced by Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO) which would cut funding for federal programs deemed "ineffective" by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Last night, the amendment was defeated in a 68-21 vote. It is heartening to see such a resounding defeat as it will make future attempts to push the provision less likely. Thanks to everyone who contacted their senators.
