If you are as offended as I am by pork barrel spending and the use of earmarks by Congress, right now is one of those rare opportunities to make a difference!
Our own Congressman Jeff Flake — a lonely voice against overspending and earmarks — is being considered to fill a vacancy on the important House Appropriations Committee. Right now, all 29 Republicans on the committee participate in earmarking at some level.
Please take a few moments to visit www.makeitflake.com and follow the action steps, make the phone calls and urge the House leadership to do the right thing and put a voice for fiscal sanity on this key committee.
