I know this is a little old, but I urge everyone (especially those in Alaska) to call their Senators and demand they support this bill.

If you could look at John McCain as a barrel of apples, some of which are rotten, this I would call one of John's good apples. This practice so obviously needs to be stopped that it doesn't stand a chance of being reformed, but I give McCain credit for having the guts to try.

There is a "proposal" already out there that would be very effective at reducing pork.
It's called the U.S. Constitution.

Senate Panel Hears Proposal to Reduce Pork Just as long as they stay away from my BBQ sandwich...
To: yellowdoghunter
Allow me to post my pet theory on how to cut pork...Let's assume ( for purposes of easy math...) that the president would like to cut out $100 billion of pork...the bear DNA projects, and the like....and there are 100 million taxpayers...well, W should line-item veto the $100 bill, and call for a tax rebate of $1000 to every taxpayer....yes, many who didn't pay taxes would get the money back..but it would establish the "linkage" in peoples minds..that the govt wastes money.....and I'd rather a poor person get the money than it goes to some dumb research or arts project..and BTW, the Dems couldn't really complain, could they..?hehehhe
