If you liked that idea, you're going to love this one;
The Federal AMJ One Bill At A Goddamn Time Act of 2010. Whereupon it is written that; It will now be considered unlawful to combine any spending measures that do not directly pertain to the goals of the bill in question.
You want a Tea Pot museum? Fine. Let's vote on it, based on its own merits.

Opposing earmarks isn't new. I supported the guy who said he was going to do it in the last election. That didn't work out so well.
I agree with you that politicians are far too corrupted by money. Where we disagree is on the solution to that problem. Controlling the money is a useless endeavor similar to trying to close all the loopholes in the tax code. It's like a kid in Holland trying to plug a leak. The water will find other ways. It is the politicians that need to be controlled. The problem with that is it is the politicians who decide how they are controlled. I hope we aren't fucked, but we very well could be.
BTW, your newsletter better not junk up my mailbox and if you sell my info to credit card companies I'm going to be pissed!
