Veto reductions in airline delays unless bill includes EQUAL flexibility to support programs for children and seniors

Created by J.M. on April 26, 2013

Due to the recent flight delays that have affected Senators and their frequent flier friends, caused by the $85 billion in automatic and indiscriminate spending cuts called "sequester" that was allowed to go into effect on 3/27/13, a bill was unanimously passed to give flexibility to the FAA to avoid these delays:

Please veto any bill that gives flexibility to the FAA without EQUAL flexibility to funding programs that support children and seniors like Head Start and Meals on Wheels.
