Earmark Moratorium for fiscal years 2010 and 2011... NOT

March 16th, the Senate voted 68 to 29 to table the earmark moratorium. This would have prevented earmarks for the rest of 2010 and for 2011. This moratorium would have saved Millions of wasted dollars... tax dollars... OUR DOLLARS!

Both of my Virginia Democratic Senators, Webb and Warner, voted to table this moratorium. What a shame. For ALL the Senators who voted to table this, it is clear where your priorities are. It is clear you are not for prudent spending our the people's money. Its clear you are for political paybacks and backroom deals. Earmarks are NOT what the people want from you!
