Pork has gotten ridiculous in Congress. My Congressman, John Campbell, is one of the few who has said he will not ask for any earmarks for his district. Meanwhile, David Obey (D-WI), the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said it will be a cold day in Hades before there’s real earmark reform. At least he’s honest.
But there is something we can do. When individuals complain to Congress, results occur. You’ll see below a form that you can fill out to complain about earmarks (aka pork). The elimination of pork and a streamlined tax system go hand and hand. Join me and sign the petition—it’s free and easy.
