GOP adopts earmark ban
House Republicans today said they are banning all earmarks by their lawmakers for the rest of this year,
“For millions of Americans, the earmark process in Congress has become a symbol of a broken Washington,” Boehner said in a statement. “Today House Republicans took an important step toward showing the American people we’re serious about reform by adopting an immediate, unilateral ban on all earmarks.”
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican, said that Democrats’ promises to clean up Washington politics “is being broken every day.”
“No doubt earmarks are being talked about in a different way by the democratic majority,” said Rep. Mike Pence |
while it might have done them a world of good to do so in the past.. it is a good step forward today...

The best thing we can do is demand candidates sign a pledge to continue to ban earmarks..
