Murtha Needs to Be Punished

I cannot imagine a more unethical man in all of Congressional history as Rep. John Murtha (D-PA).   This man, along with his pork barrel spending posse of Reps. James Moran (D-VA) and Peter Visclosky (D-IN) are hosting a party of campaign donors at the very lavish Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City.  While this may sound like a gracious thanks, it is really about soliciting more funds while promising millions of dollars in earmarks to these very same donors.

These earmarks are funded with US Taxpayers' money.  This money is not part Rep. Murtha's personal check book, although he seems to treat it that way.  Wasteful spending such as this is the very thing that is driving $400 Billion annual deficits and creating the most corrupt Congress in the history of the US Government.

People you need to wake up and replace members of Congress that are placating to the wishes of special interest and that are profiting from nothing more than political access.  Profit is good when it is done through free and voluntary exchange.  On the other hand, it is a travesty when it is done through the wasting of tax payer dollars and government corruption.

I would encourage everyone to write their Representative and request they take action against this kind of behavior.  Rep. Tiahart (R-KS) already has my letter.
