Billy Long Signs the Citizens Against Government Waste No Pork Pledge
 
(Springfield, MO) – Last week, Billy signed the Citizens Against Government Waste No Pork Pledge. The pledge is sponsored by Citizens Against Government Waste, the publishers of the yearly “Pig Book” that outlines all pork projects included in the federal budget.
 
Speaking about why he signed the pledge, Billy said, “Government spending is out of control. We have a debt of over $12.3 trillion dollars, but too many politicians are either not paying attention or don’t care about the enormous debt burden that they are placing on taxpayers’ shoulders. If I am elected, I will not engage in the kind of irresponsible, corrupt spending that has become so commonplace in our nation’s capitol.”
 
Billy is a small businessman running in the primary race for the Republican nomination in the Seventh Congressional District. He is a fourth-generation resident of southwest Missouri and lives in Springfield with his wife, Barbara. They have two daughters, both of whom are currently in college.
