Change Congress

Earmarks? No, we can't.

Congress spends billions of taxpayer dollars each year. Most of this money are for "earmarks," that go to pet projects and special interests hidden from the public.

Join us in saying, "No we can't!" We can't afford to ignore this broken process anymore. Republican congress members like Jeff Flake (R-AZ) have been pushing for earmark reform over the past year. Now we're calling on the Republican Party leadership to step-up and take the lead on the reform we need to clean up the way Washington works. Tell them we can't afford this waste, this corruption, any more.

The Petition:

To: Mike Duncan, Republican National Committee Chairman
Congressman Tom Cole (R-OK), National Republican Congressional Committee
Senator John Ensign (R-NV), National Republican Senatorial Committee

"The Republican leadership has an opportunity to change the way business as usual is done in Washington. As party leaders, you have the chance to stop the distorting influence earmarks have on the way our government works. As our representatives, we are demanding that you address the earmark process before the corruption and distortion reaches deeper into the roots of our democracy. Your party has started the conversation on earmark reform. Now we're asking you to put your money where your mouth is.

Please join us in taking a stand and commit to fundamentally reforming the earmark process in Congress. We can't afford the continued pork-barrel spending and hidden pet projects. We must reform the process now. We can change Congress.

Thank you. "
