In his letter of March 30, Mr. "Buck" Weckman, the PIO of the Yuba County Republican Party, attacked Obama's promise to stop earmarks.

Well, in the budget just passed, and which originated under our former president and the leader of Buck's party, Wally Herger had three, yes three, earmarks. One of those was for levees to protect Marysville.

So, the question Buck is, are you for or against money for Marysville's levees? Please, answer the question or keep quiet.
