Senate GOP Agrees to Earmark Moratorium

The Revolution advances – from Politico:

Seeking to move past an intra-party squabble over earmarks, Senate Republicans on Tuesday night showed a united front and called on Democrats to join them in opposing the long-standing practice.

During a closed-door caucus meeting, Republicans passed by voice vote a two-year moratorium on earmarks, identical to one approved by the House GOP earlier this year. They also approved a resolution sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky challenging their Democratic colleagues to enact an earmark ban of their own.

A good step, but just a baby step – now the ball is in the court of Harry Reid and his corrupt Democrat Party. Be interesting to see how this plays out…
