$24 billion worth of pork

In 2006, a lot of Freshman Democrats got elected on the promise that they were actually conservatives. Today they are expected to vote on an Iraq war supplemental that is filled with billions in pork projects. The Club for Growth is doing it’s job by targeting freshman who promised fiscal responsibility on the campaign trail.

The Club for Growth PAC denounced the Democratic House leadership for stuffing the Iraq war supplemental bill with $24 billion in outrageous pork projects and called upon the following Democratic freshmen to live up to their campaign pledges to restore fiscal responsibility to Congress and cut pork.

Nancy Boyda from Kansas, Heath Schuler from North Carolina, Nick Lampson from Texas, Tim Mahoney from Florida, and Harry Mitchell from Arizona are all being singled out by the Club for Growth. Follow the link below for details.
