[QUOTE="RickN, post: 1359638, member: 8854"] Sorry guys but I disagree. While earmarks are just a small part of the problem, they do account for many millions every single year being wasted, but even more importantly they are used as a perk and re-election tool by congress people from both parties. The surest way to make our elected reps understand we want change is to force them to cut this type thing. Then once you have their attention you can move on to bigger things. I think of all congress critters as brainless zombies. The first shot was Nov 2, now is time for the double tap. :D [/QUOTE]
