<title>All Things Reform : 76 Congress members publish their earmark requests</title>
<link>http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/07/76-congress-members-publish-their.html#IDComment3370903</link>
<description>We have a set of short 9 to 12 minute video presentations that show exactly how the special interest groups work hand in hand with incumbents to misuse earmarks and pad their pockets.  We focused on one average Republican incumbent and one average Democrat incumbent to show exactly how the system is abused&amp;hellip;and everyone should view these before they ever again vote for an incumbent again.  By the way, the Republican incumbent we focused on (Chris Cannon-UT) lost by 20 points to his challenger even though Cannon spent more than 6 times as much money. (The Challenger vowed to not request earmarks!)  Frank &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ourcaucus.com &quot;&gt;http://www.ourcaucus.com &lt;/a&gt;</description>
