Sen. Reid: Stop pushing for the return of earmarks!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is pushing for a revival of earmarks, a practice banned by his own party for its blatant abuse by members of Congress.
Republican Rep. Tom Delay became notorious for using earmarks to control members of his party and shut Democrats out of the House. Now instead of finding a new way to work with fellow senators, the difficulty of a Congress without corruption is causing people like Reid to call for earmarks' return — and it's up to us to shut them down.
Tell Sen. Reid: Stop pushing for the revival of congressional earmarks!

Why is this important?
Harry Reid needs to stop hanging out with lobbyists, and spend more time talking to the voters.
