I’m not against it, but I don’t really see it getting approved...
passing it on..
I understand... a lot of times just getting congresscritters to co-sponsor stuff is enough... It speaks volume of their character and is very useful in an election year.. :)
BTTT
EMPHASIS: This election it is CRITICAL that we focus on getting a majority of CONSERVATIVES in both the House and Senate.. and we can no longer rely on the RNC to help.. (ie. John McCain) I propose/encourage a grassroots effort to get the most conservative folks we can elected to congress (both QUALITY and QUANTITY)..... not a PENNY to the RNC this cycle...
More important would be a bill supporting domestic oil production. If they got the time to do this religious history week then they can do an oil bill, first.

All I can say is that if a Congressman doesn’t vote for AMERICA, Americans should not vote for that Congressman.
I really don’t see this as a “time” issue or relevent to any other matter being discussed in congress... adding your name as a co-sponsor does not consume any “time” at all.. but gives us voters an idea of how one WOULD vote if an issue ever makes it to the floor which is another issue altogether.. IMHO, you can lear a LOT about a congresscritter by what they are willing to put their name on.... there is a LOT of debate about “oil” but how many of these congresscritters are willing to draft a bill and put their name on it... THAT is how you get things moving... something we are not seeing a lot of these days...
David
Thanks...
