Guns and Bacon: Pig Book to Reveal Record Level of Pork

Save the date! The little pink book that makes the politicians squirm 
is back. Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) will release its 
2003 Congressional Pig Book at a news conference ... The nation is at 
war; questions linger about its cost and rebuilding Iraq; the economy 
is suffering at home; and politicians are demanding more money for 
first responders. Meanwhile, elected officials have been feathering 
their own nests with pork-barrel payouts to hometown special 
interests at precedent busting levels. The Pig Book profiles the most 
egregious pork projects earmarked by Congress for states and 
districts around the country. America's largest taxpayer watchdog 
group will provide countless examples of how Congress circumvents its 
own rules to "bring home the bacon." The pork barrel is running over 
in record amounts this year, and the Pig Book reveals the choicest 
morsels. Scheduled to join CAGW President Thomas A. Schatz is veteran 
pork foe Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). Also 
on hand will be two live pigs and CAGW's mascot, Porky.
