Here's an idea. Obama has just signed what he considers an "imperfect bill" and calls for the "end of an era" of earmarks. Before Spence, Sokinwet, ES44, JohnnyD... et al get their pajamas in a knot, I'm not criticizing the President. He was pretty much strong-armed into this and had to sign it.

Why don't voters let their representatives know that these little pet projects are a waste of money. Vote them out the next time they're up for election. Those guys get let off the hook too easy almost all of the time.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
