It's Your Senator Too

"While some may call those earmarks or pork, I call them investments in Salina, jobs and also economic development for north-central Kansas."

-- Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., defining congressional spending "earmarks" for the Salina Noon Rotary Club

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken on 7/18-7/21 last month showed that only 15% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing. That means 85% are unsure or disapprove of the job Congress is doing. So how is it that incumbents keep getting re-elected?

People it is not some Congressman from another state that is the problem. It is YOUR state's Congressmen that are the problem. If anyone in your delegation has served more than two terms in the Senate or 5 terms in the House, then they are most definitely the problem no matter if they are Republican or Democrat.

Presidents are not going to change much if anything at all. It is your Congressmen that will make the biggest impact. Vote for change and vote new people into office regularly. This is the only way to ensure special interests do not overtake policy matters in DC.

No Congressman considers their earmarks pork, even Pat Robertson, but that is exactly what it is. Vote for change.
