IRISH/American Opinions: Congress Hard At Work

Congress Hard At Work

This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for. I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two.... he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1, and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on....

KEEP THIS GOING, DON'T LET IT STOP WITH YOU! CONSIDER VOTING ALL INCUMBENTS OUT NEXT NOVEMBER
