    Lol, articulate the question in a nonpartisan manner and I'll answer it.

    OK, does it bother you when either party adds a poison pill rider to a bill?

    I'm curious what the OP thinks is desirable actions?

    - Protesting on social media
    - Protesting in real life
    - Sending water
    - Calling politicians
    - Not voting for politicians in Michigan
    - Funding people who are sending water
    - Moving to the city and digging up pipes

    I'm pro-life, I am appalled by the corruption demonstrated by both parties in this fiasco. I don't live in Flint nor near Flint. My options are limited. What then should I do? Our church has paid for water to be sent along as part of our humanitarian ministries. None of us know anyone living in Flint. Should I go, starting digging up and replacing pipes?

    What should the OP have me do?

    Yes, I am against poison pills and pet projects being added to a bill. I support line item veto powers as a check on this.

    If somebody doesn't do something, the entire city is going to need to be evacuated. 100 thousand people are being poisoned.

    We either step up as a country to help them fix the pipe problem or we're gonna have to pay to help relocate 100000 people.

    I agree on the line item veto. But I'm not holding my breath until the politicians put it into play.

    He doesn't know how. He is the most blindly partisan person on the board, without a single thought not given him by the dnc or some other leftist propaganda outlet.
