    Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today named Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) its July Porker of the Month for promising to filibuster a resolution, if it reaches the Senate floor, which would reduce pork-barrel spending. As the top porker per capita in the U.S. Congress, Sen. Stevens is staying true to form by trying to deny a vote on a reasonable budget reform measure designed to end abusive earmarks in appropriations bills. The resolution, S. Res. 173, would allow any senator to raise a point of order against appropriations earmarks.
