Sen. DeMint’s Petition Against Pork
October 31, 2007, 11:06pm
Sen. Jim DeMint has been one of the leading critics of special-interest earmarks in federal spending bills, and now he has taken his crusade against such pork to the Internet. His campaign site features a petition dubbed “100,000 Strong For Earmark Reform.”
DeMint, R-S.C., discussed the effort today in an interview with Heading Right Radio. “It’s a way for chairmen to get votes for bad bills,” he said of earmarking. DeMint also called attention to a new congressional group called Reagan21.
