As you know I have been a long time critic of the earmarking process. I am one of only eight members of Congress who do not seek earmarks. I believe earmarks are the gateway drug to corruption. As the article below from the Wall Street Journal demonstrates, earmarking has become a cancer in Congress.
Every American needs to understand how this process works and why it desperately needs reform. Representative John Murtha is the poster child of the corrupting influence of earmarks. Please take the time to read the article below.
