Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006
Everyone needs to support the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, "a Google-like search tool that will allow taxpayers to hop online and see exactly how their tax dollars are being spent on federal contracts, grants and earmarks" (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,304224,00.html). Write your Congressman and tell them to support it. Write your favorite (and not-so-favorite) Presidential Candidate to not just express their support, but sign the pledge to aupport it. Sen. Barack Obama, Rep. Ron Paul, Sen. Sam Brownback, Sen. Mike Gravel, Rep. Dennis Kucinch and Mr. John Cox have all done so. Good for each of them! We should support as much transparency in all levels of government as is humanly possible.

Sen. Brownback is out of the race, and "Mr John Cox" is a fringe candidate.
True enough, but every signature counts. And I assume Brownback was still in when he signed.
