Cong. JEFF FLAKE - Victory on Earmarks

It's not often these days that you hear good news coming out of Congress. Fortunately, today you will. Republicans in the House of Representatives have agreed to a one-year moratorium on all earmarks. As you know, earmarks played a large role in the loss of our fiscal bearings and, consequently, the loss of our majority. We've got a long way to go to regain these bearings, to be sure, but this is a good start.


I hope you'll take a few moments to click here and read an article from the National Review Online regarding the earmark moratorium.


Thank you for your continued support of my efforts in Washington. We don't always win, but I hope today's victory is the beginning of the end of earmarks.


Best,


Jeff Flake
