HOW DID YOUR LOCAL MEMBER OF CONGRESS CAST THEIR VOTES ON FIFTY SEPARATE OPPORTUNITIES TO STRIP EGREGIOUS PORK OUT OF FEDERAL SPENDING BILLS?
Perhaps one of the most influential and important groups in Washington that is dedicated to market-based economic principles, and cutting government spending, is the Club for Growth. Of the handful of key websites that our FR team goes to every morning when we compile news of interest, the CfG’s site is one of the best.
The Club for Growth has compiled a RePORK Card on how all of the members of the United States House of Representatives voted on 50 anti-pork amendments that were introduced on the floor of Congress. Over the past many weeks, Democrats were moving out all of the mammoth appropriations (spending) bills that provide the annual funding to pay for the costs of the federal government.

It is nice to be a Republican, it is better to be a Conservative. It appears that a few Republicans have lost their way and walked away from Conservative principles. Voters need to give them some boundries, set up guardrails… if they ignore that, voters need to simply take them out. What use is any Republican who routinely votes for irresponsible, wasteful goverment spending? It completely disrespects the hard-working taxpayers whom work long, hard hours earning a living, paying taxes, only to have arrogant Congress members piddle it away.
