			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a website called National Priorities Project. National Priorities Project analyzes and clarifies federal data so that people can understand and influence how their tax dollars are spent. </p>

<p><strong>How NPP began</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The National Priorities Project began in 1983 to help community groups understand and respond to federal budget cuts in Massachusetts communities.</p>
<p>Hampered by a lack of information on how federal policies affected local communities, NPP built a coalition of community groups in western Illinois that created the first-ever analysis of the impact of spending policies at the congressional district level. They found that over a two-year period, the First Congressional District had lost over $54 million in housing, education, health care and other monies.</p>
<p>Another website to look at is &quot;The Cost of the Iraq War&quot; to each US Citizen<br /><a href="http://costofwar.com/" target="_blank">http://costofwar.com/</a></p>
<p>I listened to CNN&nbsp; about this site. It was mentioned that each American Citizen will pay $200 per month to support this Iraq War, but that does not include the debt that has accrued.</p>
<p>The Cost to Floridians &#8211; this will surprise you:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Priorities_Project" target="_blank">Wikipedia.org</a> offers more information about the National Priorities Project (NPP) </p>
<p>The National Priorities Project (NPP) offers citizen and community groups tools and resources to shape federal budget and policy priorities which promote social and economic justice. NPP is a nonpartisan and nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization. Greg Speeter is the founder and executive director of NPP. To read more about this project visit the link below:</p>
