I have conducted some research into the campaign contributions given to Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-5th-LA). Alexander is one of the leading members of the House in terms of earmark requests.

"After investigating Rodney Alexander's campaign filings on the Federal Election Commission website, I have found some information on Alexander's contributions from parties associated with the Greater Ouachita Port Commission."

"In all, the parties associated with the Port and the Commission have given $36,500 to Rodney Alexander's campaign. With each passing election cycle, the dollar amounts have increased."

"The Port has been awarded at least $1.5 million in earmarks since 2004. They are now looking for $6 million in earmarks for various projects this year, all of which are sponsored by Rep. Rodney Alexander. The engineer will be rewarded by bidding out the new projects, while Ouachita Terminals will see greater business and development of the Port from the new proposed earmarks."

I never have trusted Turn Coat Rodney. I have voted for him twice though.

He at least has voted in a consistently conservative manner since changing his socialist tag from D to R.

So representation with taxscamation.

We need to elect only conservative Christians. Do you really expect the amoral or immoral to behave morally?

Seriously!
