The Pork Scorecard, It's What's for Dinner
This is a long, overdue blog post about the Pork Scorecard, which has received some tremendous support from the blogosphere over the last several days. If you're a blogger and you'd like to contribute, write about one of the politicians and then send me the permalink. I'll promptly post it on the scorecard (email address is aroth at clubforgrowth dot org).
