The Conservative Revolution

Here is the post from David All of Tech Republican about the FreedomWorks “No Earmarks Pledge.”

The folks at FreedomWorks.org have launched a micro-site to help drive its campaign to reform earmarks — www.earmarkpledge.com.

I asked the folks at FreedomWorks about the micro-site and got two responses worth sharing in this space.

* Dick Armey, Chairman, FreedomWorks: “We plan to use the internet to make it public who has signed our pledge and who refuses to do so. Our members will be able to focus their energy on calling those that haven’t signed the pledge. Our website will allow us to put much-needed pressure on some of these folks, and we will have a record if they decide to drink backsliders wine on the issue in the future.”

* Brendan Steinhauser, Director of Campaigns, FreedomWorks.org: “FreedomWorks seeks to empower grassroots citizens in the states to download our pledge, take it to district offices and ask their Congressmen to sign it. We are pursuing an inside and outside the beltway campaign to make it clear that the American people are tired of out-of-control spending. The Internet will allow us to efficiently coordinate this campaign across the country.”

Nicely done FreedomWorks. Keep fighting the good fight.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) did a great job laying out the earmark debate on the Senate floor today.

Watch the VIDEO.

We are working with Senator DeMint to convince his colleagues to vote for a one year earmark moratorium. FreedomWorks also has a No Earmarks Pledge that we are circulating. Make sure that your Senators and Congressmen see the pledge!
