My Congressman, Jim Davis of Florida, Flunks!
Andy Roth speaks on the efforts by one Congressman to expose Pork by each of our Congressmen...."Thanks to Congressman Jeff Flake's 19 anti-pork amendments, we now have every House member on record regarding their positions on earmarks. Before now, House members have been able to avoid scrutiny because their pork was co-mingled with other projects and tucked into the dark corners of big spending bills. Or they were able to withstand the scrutiny because they were attacked as a whole chamber and not directly attacked themselves.
But because of Flake's amendments, they were recently forced to cast up-or-down votes on specific projects. They could no longer deflect attention. Below is a summary scorecard of how they voted (below the scorecard are the vote descriptions). If you want an itemized list, you can click on any one of the following PDFs. A "YES" vote on any of the Flake amendments is a good, anti-pork vote. A "NO" vote is a bad, pro-pork vote."
So.....I looked up my Congressman, Jim Davis of Florida......
His rating? 100% NO.......
He voted AGAINST each initiative to show how our congressmen are spending our money through special earmarks (Pork).....
Wonder what Davis has to hide that he does not want us to know what he submitted for funding? Perhaps he is helping some special friends....Perhaps some funding for things which won't actually help us. Guess I'll send him an email and ask why he does not feel accountable!
