Jim DeMint: a quick update on our efforts to pass the Republican earmark ban in the Senate.

Received this in an Email this morning and found it very informative as it lists all the senators who have, at this point, agreed to a ban on earmarks. All the new conservative senators are accounted for!

First, the number of senators who have publicly pledged to support the ban has grown to 14. Here's the current list of cosponsors. You will be pleased to know that all five of the SCF-backed candidates have taken a bold, public stand as they promised.

  1. Jim DeMint (R-SC)
  2. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
  3. Pat Toomey (R-PA)
  4. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
  5. Rand Paul (R-KY)
  6. Mike Lee (R-UT)
  7. Ron Johnson (R-WI)
  8. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH)
  9. John Ensign (R-NV)
  10. Mike Enzi (R-WY)
  11. John Cornyn (R-TX)
  12. Richard Burr (R-NC)
  13. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
  14. Bob Corker (R-TN)
Second, Senator Tom Coburn has written an important piece for National Review Online outlining the myths and facts about earmarks. Please take a moment to read it ............................

Senator Coburn has been fighting wasteful Washington spending since he was first elected to Congress in 1994. He was battling earmarks before I even knew what an earmark was. Senator Coburn is an expert at dismantling all the phony arguments used to defend pork barrel politics.

This is an important battle for our nation's future. Republicans will never be able to stand up to the big-spending policies being pushed by President Obama and congressional Democrats if we're addicted to pork. And, we're never going to be able to get the American people to give us a second chance if we don't lead by example and stop business as usual.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
