In the past year, I along with several of my fellow “earmark warriors” have advocated for sweeping reforms of the earmark process. One of the main pillars of this effort is the complete and outright disclosure of all earmarks requests. Our friends over at the Sunlight Foundation have compiled a list of members who are currently transparent in their earmark requests, those who aren’t, and those who have currently abstained from earmarking.

You're kidding, right?
Oh, well played, Kimberly! Yes indeed - why don't you further illustrate your ignorance of reading comprehension? Please do! The battle against earmarks is not - and should not - be a partisan issue. Mr. Campbell has pointed out numerous times how members of his own party have abused this scheme to get re-elected. The list - which you obviously didn't take the time to look at - shows a number of Republicans (RINO's) listed as "will not disclose earmarks", among them Arlen "never met a camera I didn't like" Spector. I found it interesting that party affiliation aside, ALL elected representatives of the state of Pennsylvania are listed as "refuse to disclose earmarks." Your time might be better spent taking a remedial reading comprehension course at adult education than making laughable comments in a Conservative blog.
