More for Nancy
::::::Any funding from the Federal level that benefits only the constituents of the Senator(s)/Representative(s) responsible for that funding can be fairly described as pork.
::::::Any funding from the Federal level that benefits only the constituents of the Senator(s)/Representative(s) responsible for that funding can be fairly described as pork.
::::::I would say that whether or not there is a conflict of interest is irrelevant to determining if funding is pork or not (For example, a Representative could earmark $1 million to fund a museum to corn in his district, and that would be pork whether or not the Representative, or his family or friends, had any direct financial stake in the funding).--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 18:06, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Hi. I have a couple of suggestions for this article (the page is locked so I can't do it myself). 1)Shortly after becoming speaker, Nancy demanded use of a bigger and better aircraft than Dennis Hastert had used. http://www.washtimes.com/national/20070201-122225-1157r.htm 2)Some time back, Nancy was nailed by the FEC for campaign contribution violations of some sort (I don't recall the exact details, but I guess she was trying to buy friends in order to become Speaker, and apparently it worked).--[[User:RossC|RossC]] 14:53, 5 June 2007 (EDT)
