If you have an email ending in @hotmail.com, @live.com or @outlook.com (or any other Microsoft-related domain), please consider changing it to another email provider; Microsoft decided to instantly block the server's IP, so emails can't be sent to these addresses.
If you use an @yahoo.com email or any related Yahoo services, they have blocked us also due to "user complaints"

If you need some help, I think that glennmagusharvey tends to know a lot of stuff about that subject area. It might be a good idea to consult him.
If I remember correctly there is also a homework help thread on TV Tropes and if you want to talk about ideas for this kind of thing, I would be willing and able to listen though I admit that I am not really an expert on Congressional earmarks either.
Also, terms related to "earmark": "pork"/"pork-barreling"/"pork-barrel spending" (a derogatory term), "bacon"/"bring home the bacon" (a positive term).
