Isn't this kind of an important day to be absent from the House?

11. If she is there she isn't speaking |
|
I really wish CSPAN kept 1 camera scanning the floor for attendance at all times... maybe show it in the bottom corner of the screen.

Sorry I have lost my faith in her. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game. If you just fucking lay down and let the other team snatch the victory without breaking a sweat, then what is the point of a 2-party system?

KCMO had our local Dem gala last weekend. Our Dem congressman was there and he was talking about going to Greenland with Pelosi on Saturday. He canceled his breakfast with constituents because of the trip.

8. behind the scenes figuring out whos voting on what and why??? |
|
Working on amendments?
Actually just sitting there listening to floor speeches would seem to me to be pretty ineffective.

14. "Lives in the Balance" -- written about the Contra War. |
|
I've been waiting for something to happen For a week or a month or a year With the blood in the ink of the headlines And the sound of the crowd in my ear You might ask what it takes to remember When you know that you've seen it before Where a government lies to a people And a country is drifting to war
And there's a shadow on the faces Of the men who send the guns To the wars that are fought in places Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the T.V. You hear one thing again and again How the U.S.A. stands for freedom And we come to the aid of a friend But who are the ones that we call our friends-- These governments killing their own? Or the people who finally can't take any more And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone There are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces Of the men who fan the flames Of the wars that are fought in places Where we can't even say the names
They sell us the President the same way They sell us our clothes and our cars They sell us every thing from youth to religion The same time they sell us our wars I want to know who the men in the shadows are I want to hear somebody asking them why They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are But they're never the ones to fight or to die And there are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire

But they are still giving the President a blank check AND they have concocted a way to vote secretly so their precious campaigns don't suffer the backlash of their actions like the IWR vote did.
