Mobilizing The Blogosphere Against Pork

Glenn Reynolds:

Porkbusters

How are we going to mobilize the blogosphere in support of cuts in wasteful spending to support Katrina relief? Here’s the plan.
Identify some wasteful spending in your state or (even better) Congressional District. Put up a blog post on it. Go to N.Z. Bear’s new PorkBusters page and list the pork, and add a link to your post.
Then call your Senators and Representative and ask them if they’re willing to support having that program cut or — failing that — what else they’re willing to cut in order to fund Katrina relief. (Be polite, identify yourself as a local blogger and let them know you’re going to post the response on your blog). Post the results. Then go back to NZ Bear’s page and post a link to your followup blog post.

Sounds like a great idea. I’d participate…but I’m supposed to be on vacation from this whole blogging thing.
If you’ve got a blog you should think about following the directions above. You can get logos for the effort (like the one above) here.
