As we all have heard the news about U.S. Senator Richard Shelby and his decision to hold up all appointments unless his state gets porkbarrel funding. As has been diaried most recently by TomP: Shelby's Hold Threatens Security of Americans
Well since his office is in such a need for pork I thought it appropriate to have the country give him what he wants.
More after the jump:
I thought it might be in poor taste to send real bacon to a state that may have a surplus of pork products so I’m including a link for your online shopping convenience to veganstore (dot) com Bacon. There you will find some tasty bacon substitute for sending to the Senator’s offices that I have listed below. When you make your bacon purchase you must include a freezer pack in your order to prevent spoilage during shipping. Feel free to make your own arrangements to provide bacon to the desperate Senator and his constituents if the shopping links I have provided are not to your liking. I have included a complete list to every office the Senator has listed as to not miss any opportunity to make sure his state gets all the bacon it needs.

Because the Senator could not possibly eat all this bacon himself I’m including links to food banks in Washington D.C. here and in his home state of Alabama Food Bank Association. Please make sure that you include this information with your order so the Senators office can readily make this food available to those that need it most. Hopefully the Senator will get the point about wanting so much pork when so many need real help in this economy. Don't forget to let the Senator know his actions do have consequences for more than the wealthy in his state.
