When the Narrative becomes Fact, Print the Narrative! Washington Post‘s Rosalind S. Helderman tells her readers that Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, S.B. 1070, is “deeply unpopular with Latino voters.” Really? A very recent Quinnipiac poll found that 49% of Hispanics oppose the law, but 47% approve of it. If thats “deeply unpopular” I wouldn’t want to be President Obama. … A similarly slim majority of Hispanics actually wants the Supreme Court to uphold S.B. 1070. …

The Congressional Pig Book is CAGW’s annual compilation of the pork-barrel projects in the federal budget. A “pork” project is a line-item in an appropriations bill that designates tax dollars for a specific purpose in circumvention of established budgetary procedures. To qualify as pork, a project must meet one of seven criteria that were developed in 1991 by CAGW and the Congressional Porkbusters Coalition.

In 2002, CAGW launched its series of Piglet Books to expose waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement at the state level. Piglet Books are published in conjunction with state policy associations, combining CAGW’s years of waste-fighting experience with local expertise of state spending. With budget deficits in many states and the constant threat of tax increases, Piglet Books reveal where wasteful spending can be eliminated, providing valuable resources to legislators and taxpayers.
