Kudos to my Congressman
Its never surprising to see Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake or Texas Congressman Ron Paul voting against pork, they are pretty consistent libertarians in their vote. However, I have only just begun to follow my own Phoenix-area Congressman John Shadegg. I was pleased to see that he stood up to considerable pressure and opposed the recent pork-filled Highway bill.
Of late, I have felt used by the Republican party, who put on small-government clothes to entice libertarians like me but who have generally abandoned all spending restraint now that they are in the majority.
