To All Pork Of The Month Club Members (Taxpayers)

Here were our dues In 2008.


In September we all bailed out AIG with $85 billion and the financial and banking industry asked for trillions more of our dollars.

In October the FAA released a $2 million installment of taxpayer funds; more is needed to complete the 5,000ft runway at Flying Cloud Airport which will result in higher decibel noise disturbances from larger aircraft, more run-ups, take-offs and landings, more jet fuel exhaust, and decreased property values.

In December automotive industry CEOs, who flew into D.C. in their own private jets, pleaded for billions more of our tax dollars.

Add it all up and every American will fork over $23,000; that’s more than half of U.S. annual gross domestic product. (CNN)

From January to November there were over 2500 noise complaints at Flying Cloud Airport compared to 800 total in 2007.

In November Eden Prairie residents, you and me, and thousands more tax payers and airport neighbors like us sent a strong message to the new council leadership and the city by re-electing a previous council member back to the council, who has not only worked directly with MAC, but is well versed on matters related to the airport agreement.

The federal government uses taxpayer dollars to fund projects like Flying Cloud. In 2007, on behalf of the Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC) the Eden Prairie city manager (with the current City Council's approval) lobbied Congress for your tax-dollars for Flying Cloud Airport.

Have you all had enough yet? Are you ready to cancel your Pork of the Month Club membership?

Without our tax dollars there won't be a 5,000ft runway.

Contact your elected federal officials NOW. Funding decisions are being made NOW. The final funding decision is made at the Federal level!

No taxpayer dollars to fund a 5,000ft runway for a handful of corporations who can use existing alternatives.

Stop your membership NOW; you can't afford the dues.
