Anti-pork amendments in the US Senate

US Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) is sponsoring several anti-pork amendments today. The Club for Growth has the list:

1) Earmark moratorium until all deficient bridges are repaired (#2810)
2) Prohibits funding of bike paths (#2811)
3) International Peace Garden in Dunseith, North Dakota (#2812)
4) America’s Wetland Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana (#2813)
5) New baseball stadium in Billings, Montana (#2814)
6) Lakeview Museum in Peoria, Illinois (#2815)

We’ll keeping a close eye on Chambliss and Isakson to see if they support the taxpayers or special interests.

[UPDATE] The earmark moratorium failed 14-82. Chambliss and Iskason voted in favor of the moratorium (and in favor of the taxpayers).
