Last week, Senators Toomey and McCaskill introduced a bill to enact a permanent ban on earmarks, given that the current moratorium is only temporary.
Despite the overwhelming public support for this legislation, only a few brave Senators have agreed to co-sponsor this bill. Ending Spending commends and applauds Senators Ayotte, Burr, Chambliss, DeMint, Johnson, Risch, and Rubio for taking a principled stand to end this destructive practice forever.
The recent report showing that some in Congress are trying to violate the earmark ban demonstrates the importance of these Senators’ efforts.
We continue to encourage every Senator – and particularly every Member of the Senate leadership – to join in this bipartisan effort to protect the American taxpayer from any further wasteful spending.
Contact your Senators now and ask them to support this important legislation.
