Pork Hall of Shame
February 5, 2006 10:18 PM

I just completed adding a new feature here at Porkbusters: the Pork Hall of Shame. This will be a place for us to recognize those Congresscritters who have their noses deepest in the Federal trough.

We plan many different Awards of Shame, but for our first challenge, we are seeking examples of Congressional web sites which boast of pork that the Representative or Senator has "brought home". I'll pick on Senator Richard Shelby as an example, because, well, he deserves it: check out the lovely list of all the Federal dollars he's brought home to Alabama all front-and-center-like on his front page. Charming!

But we're sure Senator Shelby isn't alone, so go browse around House.gov and Senate.gov and then submit the worst offenders you find to the Hall of Shame. You can also vote on existing nominations.

Let the Shaming begin!

Update: Just finished adding photos to the Hall of Shame, so Representatives and Senators can be viewed in all their splendor...
