Earmarks

Some interesting non-partisan links for those interested in knowing what Congress is doing with our tax dollars. Read that "Who owns your local congressman enough to get the money"?

Here's an interesting link about Earmarks courtesy of The Sunlight Foundation. Just click on the link, and it brings up an interactive map into which you can plug your favorite zipcode. The map will show you little projects funded by earmarks (special projects which are paid for by your tax dollars, but are never actually voted on by Congress).
