YES – you need to hate pork barrel earmarks not only when its on paper, but ALSO WHEN IT SHOWS UP IN YOUR DISTRICT. Everyone opposes until they benefit. If your candidate runs on the “I brought $$$ back to our district” they are running on pork barrel spending. “Support me and I’ll make sure all the pork barrel $$’s are spent in our district.” Oppose it even when it means you don’t get $’s.

White House 2 is a multi-partisan network of 10550 citizens imagining how the White House might work if it was run completely democratically by thousands of people over the internet. It's free and all U.S. citizens can join.
 We're setting priorities, collaborating on policy, and creating a massive database of 2867 talking points covering all sides of every important issue facing our country. Watch the video intro. Getting involved is easy and fun. Just join and start setting your priorities, like a todo list. The more people who endorse a priority, the higher it rises in the charts. The more people who join the network, the more clout we will have with the President and the media. |
