435 Districts - 435 Blogs Against Pork
It's time to blog against pork!
Thanks to Congressman Jeff Flake's 19 anti-pork amendments, we now have every House member on record regarding their positions on earmarks. Before now, House members have been able to avoid scrutiny because their pork was co-mingled with other projects and tucked into the dark corners of big spending bills. Or they were able to withstand the scrutiny because they were attacked as a whole chamber and not directly attacked themselves.
But because of Flake's amendments, they were recently forced to cast up-or-down votes on specific projects. They could no longer deflect attention. Below is a summary scorecard of how they voted (below the scorecard are the actual vote descriptions). If you want an itemized list, you can click on any one of the following PDFs. A "YES" vote on any of the Flake amendments is a good, anti-pork vote. A "NO" vote is a bad, pro-pork vote. Therefore a score of 19-for-19 is a perfect, pro-taxpayer record. A 0-for-19 record means hostility to taxpayers.
So what can we do with this information? If you are a blogger, find your local congressman and blog about him. We have the votes, we have the members on record...now we just need to put some sunlight on the situation. Once you've blogged about a particular lawmaker, let me know. I'll post a link to your blog on the list below. My email address is aroth at clubforgrowth dot org.
Let's fill this list up by blogging about every House member from Honolulu to Maine and from North Dakota down to Texas!

The by state information shows Van Hollen voting yes for the first AntiPork amendment and abstaining (or on vacation) for another vote - shouldn't this give him a score of 1.5?
Posted by: Anonymous | July 27, 2006 8:20 AM
Where is Vermont's Bernie Sanders on this list? I didn't look at all the bills but I noticed he voted on some of them (No, of course!)
Is it because he's running for the Senate this Fall?
Posted by: Gaucho | July 27, 2006 9:51 AM
A worthy goal, but remember that at the moment there are only 433 members of the House:

Looks like we have more RINOs in Florida than I thought. Some that were supposedly "fiscal conservatives" ended up with 0%. Disgusting.

How can a Congressman (Dave Weldon, R FL)Vote for all these handouts and still call himself a conservative. I gonna need to rethink some of my positions
Posted by: william barrett | July 28, 2006 10:35 PM
TX 21 Congressman Lamar Smith also surprisingly scored a ZERO! Looks like it's time to bombard his office with our disgust. How about we all send him a pound of bacon, unrefrigerated!

we need to get data state by state, in a printer friendly and "forward" format.
thanks,

I may be able to carry CA #37. I'm setting up the blog now. I may need some help with learning how to find out where to look for all the info I will need.
The Thomas.loc.gov doesn't really work that well. Either that, or I don't know how to use it. This is a very slight (lol) possibility.
Please get in touch. Have a great day.

I'd be very interested in seeing some graphs of distribution by party, region, seniority...really any variables to see patterns in the House for pork support.

Hi. I've been able to get a few articles together. I know I've been off to a slow start, but there is sooo much going on all over the place. I'll try to keep up to pace. ;)
