Finally, some optimistic news...
Below is a list of Congressmen and Congresswomen who did not request one single earmark in 2010. *It is refreshing to see a list that, to be honest, I did not expect to be as long. Though on the other hand, it is sad that everyone is not on this list. But this should help you understand some of your options when you vote. Check to see if you Congressmen is on the list or not.
*(This list refers ONLY to those who have not requested earmarks, and does not necessarily represent their stance on any other issues)
