According to the Los Angeles Times, the bill included 5,224 earmarks that would cost taxpayers approximately $6 billion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a result, in an effort to support Congressman Souder&#8217;s desire to provide taxpayers with greater transparency regarding Washington&#8217;s spending habits, I am providing the following list of votes in which Congressman Souder refused to strip wasteful, pork barrel earmarks out of spending bills in 2009,&#8221; said Troyer.  &#8220;I would encourage him to post this list on his congressional website so voters can learn what he deems worthy of our tax dollars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONGRESSMAN SOUDER VOTED AGAINST THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS TO STRIP OUT EARMARKS OUT OF SPENDING BILLS IN 2009<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HOUSE VOTE 374 &#8211;

noted Troyer.  &#8220;Why is Congressman Souder wasting our money by voting to support these pork barrel spending requests, and why is the local news media not reporting it?  Needless to say, they are expressing a great deal of anger and betrayal once they learn the facts.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Phil Troyer&#8217;s campaign website<\/p>\n<p><em>Webmaster&#8217;s note<\/em>: The above statement is directly from the candidate. \u00c2\u00a0All candidate statements, regardless of party affiliation are welcomed. \u00c2\u00a0Candidate statements are not edited, spun or otherwise tampered with, but are provided in their entirety.
