Stop the mid night ear marks, so they put the ear marks in place in the morning.If you have been paying attention to the bills that have been passed over the last several years by members adding in billions of earmarks-at the last minute-in the "buy" your vote policy of this government--it is probably a very wise move to concentrate--on one topic--versus handing it over to politicians that really should be working on Wall Street.
I am perfectly O.K. with this. Finally something that works for the American people--and not some politicians reelection campaign.
No amendments would be allowed none of the standard braking system for a bad bill would be in plasce. This bill would not stop any earmarks. Why do you think it would?
It would stop the egregious "middle of the night" earmark amendments. Any earmarks would have to be there from the beginning and get a full hearing, instead of being slipped in when no one was paying attention.
