Boehner Launches Earmark Reform Website

House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R OH-8) has called on Democrats in Congress to join Republicans in a moratorium on earmarks. Speaker Pelosi refuses. So Boehner and company have launched a website to gain your support.

From the Earmark Reform website:

The spending habits of Congress – and pork-barrel earmarks, in particular – have become the clearest symbol of a broken Washington. With that in mind, House Republicans asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats to join them in supporting an immediate moratorium on all earmarks while a bipartisan select committee identifies ways to bring fundamental change to the way in which Washington spends taxpayers’money. The Majority’s response: no thanks.

In spite of the Democrats’ refusal to change the way Washington spends taxpayer dollars, House Republicans have committed themselves to a series of standards that will be the basis of their comprehensive earmark reform efforts. This website is dedicated to those standards and what House Republicans are doing to fix Washington by stopping earmarks.

I’m calling on everyone, Conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, join this effort to cap the wasteful spending habits of Congress.
