Are you suprised in the least?

How did our distinguished Senators vote on this measure?

An earmark may be pork to some political chatterbox on television, but it could be an economic lifeline for a community,” Byrd said in a Thursday evening statement. “It may be [for] a road that has fallen into dangerous disrepair or a bridge that is on the verge of collapse. An earmark is an economic need that many times falls between the cracks of the Washington bureaucracy.”

Or it may be for a wood science center or a bridge that the state had planned to build.

Rockefeller just votes against the moratorium and says nothing.

So what kind of letter would you want to receive from a legislator or Congressman / Senator who disagreed with your request?

Anyone who disagrees with me with the frequency of Rockefeller is useless to me. This wasn't the first such letter I've received from him, or even the fifth. They began coming with regularity after the first, in which he apologized for the delay in response and explained about some back injury or something.

That's it, I'm going to start saving them. I write him a couple of times a month now. I should save them from Capito too. I can have a race, who rejects me the most. lmao
