As the minority leader said. we had earmark reform. We went directly after the airdropped earmarks so there could be no airdropped earmarks that would not be out of the shadows. Out of the shadows. were told illegal immigrants need to be brought out of the shadows. theyre out on the street marching. The only thing that seems to be in the shadows is these secret earmarks. and that is what were about. Now. it would have been a great improvement if we could have moved further. but the truth is there were dozens of us in the Republican side last year that went to our leadership and said. were not voting for appropriations unless you give us some earmark reform. and what we got was reform on airdrop. 1 wasnt leader of that. but 1 was sure proud to be part of it.
