Joe Wilson Joins the One-Year-Ban Coalition!
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC-02) is the lastest member of Congress to swear off earmarks. His office just issued this press release. Excerpt:
“The American people are fed up with a Washington that fails to respect the taxpayer’s wallet,” said Wilson. “There remains no single set of standards to which all members of Congress abide by when requesting funding for local projects. This has led to a process that is broken and wasteful. Therefore, I see no choice but to enact an immediate one-year moratorium on all earmark requests from my office.
Congratulations, Rep. Wilson. The Porkbusters movement commends you.
