A Day in the Life of Congress

Format for printing
True, I picked June 6th, 2006 because it was particularly funny (sad)- here are some of the day's highlights from the floor of The House:
  • H. Res. 327: supporting the goals and ideals of National Passport Month
  • H. Res. 626: congratulating Albert Pujols on being named the MP for the National League for the 2005 season
  • H.R. 5245: to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1 Marble Street in Fair Haven, Vermont, as the "Matthew Lyon Post Office Building"
  • H. Res. 729: supporting National Tourism Week
  • H. Con. Res. 399: recognizing the 30th Anniversary of the victory of United States winemakers at the 1976 Paris Wine Tasting
  • H. Res. 753: commending American craft brewers
  • H. Res. 763: supporting the goals and ideals of a National Children and Families Day
  • H. Con. Res. 422: supporting the goals and ideals of the Vigil for Lost Promise day
  • H. Res. 517: recognizing the life of Wellington Timothy Mara and his outstanding contributions to the New York Giants Football Club
  • H. Res. 265: supporting the goals and ideals of National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month
  • H. Res. 833: expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with regard to the importance of National Women's Health Week

There are real problems that need real solutions ASAP, yet our Congress wastes most of their time on BS similar to the above. Then when the important stuff comes up- they don't even read the bills!

And on top of that- they show up to work even less than Truman's 1948 "Do Nothing" Congress.

When they return from vacation, here is the link if you'd like to see for yourself
