Sue over pork barrel spending

[Gevalia]

So i need to find a lawyer to do it Pro bono then.

You'll still have the defendant's fees.

We already have a mechanism in place for when we don't like what our elected representatives are doing.

Who determines weather it is frivolous?

The federal judge who has the misfortune of reviewing the pleading.

what does my age have to do with anything? If you must know I'm 44. and yes I know that's how they work (and it's wrong) some how it needs to be changed. they certainly wont do anything about it now will they

I asked about your age, because it appears that you didn't know that 99.99% of the bills passed work this way, and you singled out 1 particular one as if it was the first one you've ever heard of.

"We already have a mechanism in place for when we don't like what our elected representatives are doing" I hope your not referring to the election process? Because that's just throwing one bad apple out for another so please don't tell me that's what your referring to. And I know enough about how things work in Washington I singled out the peanut storage because after extensive searching Rep. Bishop was the one I found to be the author of it. Not because it's the first I ever heard of this kind of going on's

Of course I'm talking about the election process. That's how it works. You don't like what a politician is doing, you hold him accountable.

Because that's just throwing one bad apple out for another

Please spare me the cliche'd over-generalizations. They're.....well, they're cliche'd and over-generalized. But let's not digress. Yours is an all-too-familiar refrain, I can do the whole argument in my head. No need to waste the bandwidth.

You got your answer in the second post. Good luck.

What would that do? By the way, you'll be looking for a long time. Do you know how Congress operates? How old are you? Do you realize that every bill passed includes unrelated bills?

OK Mo, As I said I'm well aware of how things work. I've been writing to thank and bitch at my reps for well over 10 years. granted the bitching far outweighs the thanking. As for singling out just one issue. I had to pick one (of way to many to count) so peanuts was it I could have gone after the Spinach but more people are bitching over peanuts than spinach. Will I go through with this I doubt it. But I'm way to sick and tiered of the way we all just sit back knowing the way things are and doing nothing about it. Gevalia thinks we should just elect Someone new and we all know that does little to nothing in changing the way they do what they do. Maybe I should start a web site (www.PEANUTSINMYPORKBARREL.Ccom) perhaps I'll come across a lawyer or two willing to donate some pro bono time as well as some donations for paying the fine of a frivolous law suit

The judge.

Actually you cannot sue congress people for acts they do in Congress. It would be a wasted effort.
