The Clintonian double wide funding was detailed in this article from the NY Sun.
Imshallah, I hope they will give to local public libraries. Heck I even put up an Eid-al-Fitr display.”

Re:this is what’s scary…
I don’t find that scary. Corporations are entitled to similar free speech rights as individuals.
If you want to put up a billboard that says George Bush looks like Bonzo from the Reagan movies of that era than more power to you. Heck I’ll even chip in a few bucks because I think it would be worth a chuckle.
But scary, no not hardly. Ask my friend Hassan how he felt about posters of Khomehni when he lived in Esfahan – now that may be a different story. You and I both know that if we painted horns and a tail on Bush we would perhaps pay a fine or have to pick up trash on the roadside for a few weekends not because it was Bush but because it was someone else’s sign. Sounds a lot better than imprisonment and beating they gave out in Iran according to my friend.
We are the most free nation in the world. Those that are afraid, such as the letter writer in your link seem to fail to grasp that. So she doesn’t like Bush, I didn’t vote for Clinton but I didn’t develop a psychosis. I don’t know where the letter writer would be less afraid Canada where the Bible can be classified as hate speech, The Sudan where they stone people to death for having a ‘sharp tongue’?
Afraid? not I.
I’m happy with the freedoms afforded everyone here in the United States of America.
