So now that Obamacare is a sucess, can we force the House to vote

[csziggy]

50+ times to re-authorize unemployment benefits for those who have been out of work for extended periods?

Or 50+ times to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 or better?

I'd be happy if the Democrats would force the Republicans in the House to vote over and over and over on really NEEDED things rather than trying to take good stuff away from the American people!

1. It sounds like a great idea to ME!

2. I'd call up my tea party member of the House to suggest it

But every time I do my name is added to another right wing organization call list.

Of course, every time that happens I donate more money to Gwen Graham, who is running against him, so maybe that's not a bad thing.

I need to start volunteering for her campaign!

3. Good luck with getting the Republican controlled House to hold votes they don't want to.

5. I would love to see Nancy Pelosi propose votes every session

Every single day, bring both of those up. Eve if Boehner shut her down, it would still make an impression.

6. well if we win in November...that would be sweet sweet sweet revenge...

4. They would need 218 votes for a discharge petition

The Senate however, could do this (heard that supposedly they were going to start doing so).

7. Maybe I'll call my senator

The only person who I consider represents me in Congress, Bill Nelson. Marco Rubio, the other Florida senator, and Steve Southerland, the tea party jerk in the House who stands for my district, don't represent anything I believe in. It's not worth the electricity to call them to complain - and Southerland seems to give lists of his constituents to right wing groups since right after I call him I get calls from things like the Faith & Freedom Foundation.
