Johnson adhering to watchdog pledge | thenorthwestern.com | Oshkosh Northwestern: "Johnson is co-sponsoring a proposal DeMint intends to put on the table next week that would bar Senate Republicans from seeking earmarks for two years. The proposal puts old-guard Republicans and McConnell on the spot.

House Republicans already have an earmark ban and are expected to extend it when they caucus next week."
