April 4, 8:10 AM
 
 
A total of 46 Members of Congress (MOCs), including 39 representatives and seven senators, have signed the Club for Growth's pledge to swear off earmarks for good.  Andy Roth, Club for Growth's congressional strategist extraordinaire has the latest compilation here and some good advice - let your MOC who is on this list know you know and appreciate their action. And if your MOCs aren't on the list, Andy tells you how to tell them it's time for them to get with the program.
