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...

Why quit December 31st??

Why not just ban them altogether??

Because they hope to be back in power next year so they can get back to business as normal- wasting our money!! :mad:

while it is an election stunt.. :shock: The best thing we can do is demand candidates sign a pledge to continue to ban earmarks..
