|
| |
March 10, 2008 - Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement after Democrat Senators Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), Barack Obama (D-Illinois) and Hillary Clinton (D-New York) joined as cosponsors of the DeMint-McCain earmark moratorium amendment.
“Earmarks are a bipartisan addiction and true reform will require bipartisan action. Senator John McCain has worked for years to bring Democrats and Republicans together to close the earmark favor factory, and I'm proud to stand with him. It’s time to end wasteful Washington spending.”
“I thank Senators McCaskill, Obama and Clinton for their support,” said Senator DeMint.
Currently, ten senators have cosponsored the amendment to the budget resolution including U.S. Senators DeMint, McCain (R-Arizona), Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), Bob Corker (R-Tennessee), Richard Burr (R-North Carolina), Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), McCaskill, Obama, and Clinton.
