Washington D.C. – Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) called today's decision by Congressional Republicans to unilaterally forgo earmark requests "an important first step in restoring fiscal responsibility back to Washington D.C."
"Congressional earmarks have become a symbol of what most Americans believe is wrong in Washington D.C.," said Jordan. "Federal spending is out-of-control, we're borrowing from our children to pay for today's overspending, and the priorities of Congress are completely out of line with the American public."

Today marks the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that shook the very principles upon which our nation was founded. Amidst the number of pressing challenges we face today, from the tragedy in Haiti to difficult economic times at home, I urge every American to set aside time this week to reflect for a moment on the sacred gift of human life. The Pro-Life movement is deeply rooted in the culture of life that has been here since America's founding.
