Just emailed my Dem rep in the House and asked if the gym in Rayburn is open.

There are several reps, mostly republican, mostly male - who live in their offices and shower in the gym.

I suggested that if they're going to shut down the national parks, they should shut down the recreational facilities in federal offices.

Just a thought...
