Why you should vote New Broom
Our Government no longer answers to the Citizen's of this Country. The politicians in Washington DC answer to international corporations, their lobbyists and shadow political action groups that control your Senator or Representative with their donations, money, and re-election efforts.
Look at these articles. Investigate for yourself. Washington DC has become a incestuous pit of self-serving politicians and their lobbyists who ignore the American Public and do the bidding of their corporate masters.
No bid contracts. Huge bailouts. Pork ridden legislation. And a never ending shift to mandated programs that Citizen's pay for, but only a few corporations profit from, has taken this country far away from the "American Idea" that our Founding Fathers gave to us.
Citizen, you have the power to vote against the nonsense that is going on in DC. Join us. Become a New Broomer. Refuse to vote for any incumbent politician -- take them all out of office.
If we do this, if we turn DC inside out with the power of our vote, then the Citizen's of this Country will once again be the most important, most powerful force in this country. And our voice will once again be heard loud and clear.--CitizenNYC

Shelby’s earmarking doesn’t appear to run afoul of Senate rules or federal ethics laws. But critics said his tactics are part of a Washington culture in which lawmakers direct money back home to narrow interests, which, in turn, hire well-connected lobbyists — often former congressional aides — who enjoy special access on Capitol Hill.
“It is a system that is in direct conflict of interest with our oath of office because it’s parochial,” said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), an earmark critic who declined to comment on Shelby directly.
Shelby secured $427 million worth of earmarks in 2008, $322 million in 2009 and $173 million in 2010, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense. Shelby has often provided earmarks to entities that don’t have his former staffers doing their bidding, like $210 million for a prison in the tiny Alabama town of Aliceville.
