It seems that what Senator Sam Brownback says at home here in Kansas and what he does when he's back in Washington D.C. may be two completely different things.  Yesterday Sen. Brownback spent tax day running around the state going from protest to protest helping spread misinformation about the economic stimulus package.

From the Wichita Eagle: 

Among the speakers at the Wichita rally was U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, who said fiscal conservatives were outnumbered in Washington by big spenders.  He urged those in attendance to continue to make their voices heard....

...Wichita organizers said their primary goal was to protest the $787 billion federal stimulus package, centerpiece of the Obama administration's plans to jump-start the faltering U.S. economy.

While Brownback might be protesting here at home, back in D.C. it looks like Brownback is actually one of the "big spenders" outnumbering the "fiscal conservatives".  Guess who brings home the most pork barrel spending in Kansas?  That's right - Sen. Brownback. 

According to Citizens Against Government Waste, for 2009 Brownback made 69 funding requests totaling almost $85,000,000.  That's almost twice as much as Sen. Roberts (the next highest Kansas legislator on the list) and 14 times as much as Rep. Dennis Moore (the lowest Kansan on the list by the way - I guess maybe Republicans shouldn't get to "hog" the title of fiscal conservatism!)
