BREAKING: Rep. Emanuel Cleaver Earmarks $48 BILLION to Pal Who Runs Child Day Care Center From Home With His Wife (Updated)

(Updated and Bumped)
On Wednesday it was reported that far left Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) proposed a $48 billion earmark to redistribute taxpayer money to the inner city.

It was the Mother of All Earmarks…
Liberal Rep. Emanuel Cleaver proposed a whopping $48 BILLION EARMARK that would redistribute wealth to the inner cities and gift money to the poor and thereby produce a much larger consumer class to buy the goods and services produced in this country.

Rep. Cleaver will lead the Congressional Black Caucus next year. (CBC Blog)

Now get this…
The $48 billion would go to Cleaver’s friend, a gentleman named Lamar Mickens, president of the not-for-profit Quality Day Campus who runs the organization out of his Kansas City home.
The Southeast Missourian reported:

Currently Mickens operates this massive proposal out of his home but with Cleaver’s help, this earmark could put him on the road to success.

Cleaver provides a link to a Mickens “manifesto” where a lengthy agenda is outlined — but again with no specifics other than the rich should provide money to the poor so that the poor will have more money to spend.

There’s more…
Lamar Mickens is the President and the Treasurer of Quality Day Campus, Inc.
His wife Cynthia is the Vice President of Quality Day Campus, Inc.

It says so on their handwritten Annual Report!

And get this… It’s classified as a child day care center that he runs out of his home!

This is UNBELIEVABLE!
Rep. Cleaver is asking for $48 billion to donate to his friend’s shady day care center that is run out of a Kansas City home?
Wouldn’t you expect this to be a punishable offense?
Rep. Cleaver has some explaining to do.

UPDATE: Rep. Cleaver also listed an earmark in March 2010 asking for $1,000,000 for Quality Day Campus, Inc.

UPDATE: To the doubters out there. This wasn’t a misprint.
To those that would state that this was not a request from Rep. Cleaver you are 100% incorrect. All you have to do is follow the following steps.
