Lets start designing the bills that they generally help congressional districts and states that have representatives that vote for final bills.

Let the initial earmarks and ammendments go onto the bill but in the end as the headcounts are being made, strip out any provisions that are possible that benefit congressional districts and states where no votes will be for the bill...
The vote to get credit rule should be made, that any funding for a project in a congressional district should be required to vote for the bill, or we take the money away and allocate it to debt reduction or other projects where representatives will vote for the bill.
The project in question was a green initiative at this representatives local community college...I am sure we could find another well deserving community college in a Democratic district.
That is political hardball, I would support...
