Frist Interrupts His Summer Of Campaigning To...

....answer a nagging concern of the blogosphere.

And props go to the Senate Majority Leader and his staff for responsiveness.

Early this morning, Frist posted a response to NRO's Andrew Stuttaford's exhortation that Frist "do something about the senator who put an anonymous hold on S-2590, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (S. 2590)."

Asked Stuttaford: “Are you paying attention, Senator Frist?”

Frist writes that he came to Stuttaford's post by way of Instapundit. And "[a]s soon as the Senate returns in September, I will continue to fight to pass S. 2590 and other fiscal responsibility priorities."

Many in the blogosphere – left and right – have rallied to support this crucial legislation, which is fitting, for no group better knows the power of technologically empowered grassroots activism. And, for reasons of policy and politics, many bloggers are rightly outraged that S. 2590 was shot down when I attempted to bring it up for a vote prior to the August recess.

I fully recognize the importance of fiscal discipline for America’s economic security. And I hope folks recognize that there is a real choice between Democrats and Republicans on matters of taxes and spending.
