Can we ask our Representatives and Senators to do the following?
1. Have their butts in the said chamber when debates and votes are occurring on bills of MAJOR importance.

2. Refuse to vote/vote no/abstain on those measures that have been brought to chamber for debate and voting which they have not been allowed to participate in conference/committee or handed to be reviewed by them at least 3 days before said action.

3. Get someone in the back room to help with crafting a coordinated response or agenda that represents us. Read it out in morning business even if you can't move it to the floor in the form of a bill.

Anyone want to add anything to this, and where does one pass these DEMANDS (I'm tired of asking "pretty please, would you like to borrow my spine)

1. Only if you have a poll taken by "NASCAR Dads" saying it's OK.
If a poll says swingvoters and moderate Republicans are behind it, sure.
