Earmark Reform from the Congressional Republicans

Some were interested if Jeff Miller was involved in the Possible moratorium on Earmarks. Here is the Document asking Mike Pence to hold a caucus on the issue dated 23 Feb 2010. Jeff Miller is a signatory on the request.

If you hear about the results of the Republican efforts, let me know and I'll do the same if I hear of action on this.

My two Cents: It is a good step if taken, but I would like the practice banned permanently. Unfortunately, You have to be in the Majority to totally ban it, but Republicans can take a stand and stop making them and shame the Dems into doing the same.

We will see.

UPDATE: THE REPUBLICANS ADOPT A YEARLONG EARMARK BAN

It's a start.  Lets give the GOP credit where credit is due....

Thanks to Congressman Miller's office for the prompt response to my query.

  1. Well, bravo to the GOP! Wish they would have done this when they actually had the votes, but it is a great start. Will the Dems humor us and ban earmarks as well? I'm not going to hold my breath on that one, but I will give them the chance to go along with this small step to fiscal responsibility.

    Do what's right and the country will support Republicans again. It really is that simple...
