The short explanation of this alert was:
Because Norm would rather side with George Bush and Republicans than with Minnesotans.
In January 2003, Coleman joined fellow Republicans in voting to kill an amendment proposed by Senator Tom Harkin. The Harkin amendment would have provided $634.7 million in Fiscal Year 2003 Omnibus Appropriations to rural law enforcement agencies for antidrug programs. According to floor statements from the Senate record, the funding helped law enforcement pursue meth producers. The motion to kill the amendment was agreed to in a vote of 52-46. [Congressional Quarterly, 1/17/03; HJ Res 2, Vote #6, 1/17/03]
Coleman's vote denied $8.5 million in anti-drug law enforcement funding for rural Minnesota. Coleman voted to table the amendment, which proposed restoring funding levels to FY02 levels, or $8,456,474 for Minnesota. [HJ Res 2, Vote #6, 1/17/03]
