It would take a major house cleaning to accomplish something like that. While it's possible, and would be desirable, for there to be a national movement that can do that in one election, it's more likely that somebody will have to be the first. There'd have to be some district somewhere that's willing to forego the pork for the sake of voting out some slimeball, and the people of that district (or state in the case of a Senator) must then make the reason for their choice known to the rest of the country. They have to say, "We did our part, now you do yours!"

It could be something as simple as this - 'Every law, or resolution having the force of law, shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title'. It's part of the permanent Confederate Constitution, the reason for it being there pretty clear. They also eliminated payments for cost overruns, another source of waste.

I'd vote for a politician that ran on a platform or reducing pork. Let moonbats like Kennedy pay for the 'Big (17 BILLION wasted dollars) Dig' with his money, and that of his state alone.
