It's earmark season! We want to know about every earmark request that anyone in Congress has ever made. To start out, help us learn about the over 200 earmarks Rep. Robert Aderholt requested this year.

We're starting with Rep. Aderholt because his earmark requests are all in PDFs of a uniform nature, and should be easy for you to read.

You'll be shown the PDFs that Rep. Aderholt posted, and asked to pluck the most interesting pieces out of them, and then enter them into our form.

When you're done, you can click the "I'd Like Another Task" button to do more. Do as many as you like - you'll earn points every time! By helping us, you'll be contributing to our growing earmark database.
