According to Jansing and Co today the House released their 2014 calendar

they will be working 113 days next year, down from the 134 day they'll work this year.

How about we pay them 1/3 of their over inflated salaries?? Is it just me or is this ridiculous?!?!

All we need to do is get out the voters and I have a feeling many of these clowns will be gone!


A couple more "government" shutdowns, and threats of defaulting, and even republicans will be voting them out!
