House Votes on Earmark Moratorium

The National Taxpayers' Union has sent out an alert that seemed a little confusing at first but makes sense when you parse it out.

There is a question on the table -- shall we reauthorize the Higher Education Act? -- that needs a "NO" vote.

Why? Because not reauthorizing the HEA would open the door to a full vote on H. Con. Res. 63 -- a vote that needs a "YES", because it would impose an immediate moratorium on earmarks.

Write those letters, people...
