Has anyone written a macro that will remove and sort your usings in an entire project? I would like to accomplish this without any third part add-in like ReSharper.

If you will consider using a Microsoft add-in, you'll find that the Power Commands utility will do this for a project or solution.

Updated: I knew I had a bit of code that did something like this, I found it and and here it is: 

Imports System Imports EnvDTE Imports EnvDTE80 Imports EnvDTE90 Imports System.Diagnostics Public Module FormatDocuments Public Sub FormatSolution() Dim sol As Solution = DTE.Solution For i As Integer = 1 To sol.Projects.Count FormatProject(sol.Projects.Item(i)) Next End Sub Private Sub FormatProject(ByVal proj As Project) For i As Integer = 1 To proj.ProjectItems.Count FormatProjectItem(proj.ProjectItems.Item(i)) Next End Sub Private Sub FormatProjectItem(ByVal projectItem As ProjectItem) If projectItem.Kind = Constants.vsProjectItemKindPhysicalFile Then If projectItem.Name.EndsWith(".cs") Then Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode) window.Activate() projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.RemoveAndSort") window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes) End If End If If projectItem.ProjectItems.Count > 0 Then For Each subProjectItem As ProjectItem In projectItem.ProjectItems FormatProjectItem(subProjectItem) Next End If End Sub End Module

The problem I have with ReSharper or the other one (I forget the name right now) is (in my experience) the IDE slows down considerably. Have you noticed powercommands doing that?
Personally I use ReSharper and take the performance hit! I wouldn't expect PowerCommands to slowdown the IDE as it doesn't do the same kind of work in the background that R# does.
