Where can I find a rep's pork backround

[discovery1]

Ok, so it's election season and I would like to know where I can find out what kind of pork projects my House and Senate reps have helped create. I know Lemur can tell us.

And just for you Lemur:

In December 2003, he was named "Porker of the Month" by Citizens Against Government Waste for obtaining $225,000 in federal funds to repair a swimming pool down the road from his childhood home in Sparks; he said he wanted to atone for clogging the pool's drain with tadpoles as a teenager.

'he' being the Republican candidate for governor in the state of Nevada, Jim Gibbons.

It's an excellent question, and I'm looking -- 'cause such a tool would be extremely useful. Everything I've found so far has a partisan bent to it, so I'll keep searching. This is too important an issue to be consigned to the usual left-right mashup.

If anybody else has such a resource, please share!

Well don't I feel stupid Should have just googled the mentioned group. At first glance these guys look pretty objective.

Edit:
Well, Nevada's junior senitor makes me proud. 83 % lifetime score

Oh whatever. Like it matters. Pork=money to your community. Essential bills are floded with earmakrs and anyone who blocks it is accused of not funding the troops or not supporting hurricane relief blah blah. It's a good thing Tom Cobun represents a part of Oklahoma no one wants to invest in, what a better person to fight pork than a man from an area that is already less than nothing.

Earmarks are completely undemocratic, in every way shape and form.
