Sequestration Takes Place In One Week...Where Is Your Senator and Congressperson



.... I just found out my Rep. is out of state with the family on vacation and the neighboring Rep. is out collecting photo ops at the businesses that will be severely affected if nothing is done. Both are Democrats.

Both sides of the House and Senate are not showing leadership.

I have called both their offices and complained with nothing resembling an answer other than they are refreshing themselves so they will continue to fight for us... I said I want a job that I can get a week off after 5 weeks on the job.


Arrrrrrr

Well, not exactly. Ron Wyden spoke to my Rotary club at noon. He called sequestration a fancy Washington word for a very bad idea.
