Congresswoman Schmidt is 0 - 19 on anti-pork amendments

Welcome Club for Growth readers interested in earmark reform. While visiting Porkopolis, you're invited to read the original investigative series (see Special Series in the sidebar) into the Western Cotton Research Lab's transfer...an earmark at its worst.

The Club for Growth is tracking all 435 Congressmen on their respective votes for/against 19 anti-pork amendments introduced by Congressman Jeff Flake.

(Update: see Jeff's flake interview (video and transcript) from his Wall Street Journal Editorial Report Interview for an excellent backgrounder on his anti-pork amendment efforts.)
