Blogs Against Pork
Somebody's got to do it...
Truthlaidbear blog is doing a round up of members of Congress who have committed to cut spending to help fund reconstruction in the Gulf. So far things don't look promising. But pressure and exposure will help more the effort forward. The President, beyond some mumbling about offsetting the costs, has never vetoed any spending bill during his tenure. And the of course, the big media isn't capable of keeping a focus on this story....not with all that information coming in simultaneously on the "Situation Room."
It's up to us as citizens to keep the pressure up, and this is a good way to do it.
