Earmarks Contest Going Great Guns!
Our project to capture congressional earmarks – and win prizes – is going great guns! We have more than 2,000 earmarks in the database, and people from all over the country are reporting in that they have entered the earmarks of their members of Congress.
Take a look at the map here.
Here are the contest announcement and rules.
And here’s the form where you can enter earmarks for your member of Congress, or any other!

I thought that this site would show gross government overspending but if anything it shows how much work our representatives are doing for us. You would have to be pretty heartless to cancel some of these projects and it is certainly cheering to know that if you have a good idea on how to improve conditions in your state your representative can find federal funds to implement it; it’s federal venture capital.
