The Pig Book - Porkers Abound
CNN: Citizen's Against Government Waste Congressional Pig Book.
Congress is still involved in billions of pork barrel spending. The Pig Book, a report by Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) exposes the worst abusers in 2007 who apparently believe that government which governs best is government that earmarks most. Over 11,610 pet projects were squeezed into spending bills last year. The final cost to taxpayers is around $17.2 billion!

Corporations and foreigners shouldn't be allowed to lobby congress and all lobbying should be in the public record(every word). Representatives are supposed to represent voters not corporations or foreigners. America is an illegitimate democracy because of this and many other reasons.
