By the EPA’s own grant database, over the last ten years, the agency has bellied up to the bar and bought drinks for many of its friends at the taxpayers’ expense. Within the past decade, the EPA awarded or continues to have open more than 7,500 grants, totaling $3,847,160,250 to non-profit groups alone.

Our tax dollars at work. Gov’t sure finds ways to waste our money.

Can we get a list of who received $?. Local enviro nazies are trying to close all the Marinas and make sure that no one boats. their objective is to make everyone suffer like their warped ego's.

What's worse environmentalists or Islam?

* What's worse environmentalists or Islam? *

Difficult to tell. They both want us to return to the 8th century

Disgusting. I’d rather give that money to oil companies.

Defund and/or eliminate all collectivist’s collectives.

Dismantle the EPA!

The preamble to that document states that, among other things, signatories “do hereby re-establish our spiritual interdependence to the sacredness of our Mother Earth…”

These organizations are not so much pro-environment as they are anti-human. Much like their counterparts in the animal rights movement.

Mother Earth. This is not a movement. It is a religion.

Another $3.8 Billion plus reasons why sensible taxpayers absolutely loath bureaucrats and have nothing but utter disgust for the federal government in general.

Most, if not all, state governments aren’t any better.
They just don’t don’t have the size and reach to conduct their extortion at the same level as the Feds.

When will they defund them? when they run out of money?

[GeronL]

Planned Parenthood, ACORN, Legal Services, NPR, National Education Association.... have you ever noticed how much of the left is funded by your tax dollars??

"Environmentalism is instinctively and relentlessly illiberal, and it is doing more to inculcate people with fear, self-loathing and a religious-style sense of meekness than any piece of anti-terror legislation ever could. If you believe in freedom, you must reject it."

You peasants pay your taxes.

The Ruling Liberal Elite that hates you needs the money. :)

Can we get a list of who received $?.

All Awards to Non-Profits

you bet...they’re getting a wiff of what the peons and peasants out in Flyover Country intend for them under Constitutional Government.

We may actually have the specter of the Feds aiding and abetting local voter fraud to try to avoid that.

The National Association for Hispanic Elderly scooped in almost $14 Million in 2010? Truly, WTF! Is this what winning the future is all about?
