It’s not a gimmick. Texas meets for 140 days every OTHER year. They get their jobs done and then go home an dlive under the laws they pass. There is no reason why our congress can’t do that too. The only reason the forefathers didn’t impose that is because of the time it took to travel, but the intent was a citizen congress.

I agree. The truth is the being a member of Congress was never intended by the framers to be either a full-time job or a permanent career.

The less time they're there, the less time they have to screw things up even more than they already have.

>>It’s not a gimmick.<<

It is most certainly a campaign gimmick. Perry as president would have no authority nor power to mandate a part time congress.

Congress holds this power and congress alone. Therefore, Perry's talkin out his keaster on this.

This is the Perry we know down here in Texas. He’z full of it.

Cinci-wife accused me of lying in regards to my posts concerning Perry. She’z not yet pointed out where I lied.

If I were standing next to ya, I'd have a big fat $50 bill to challenge anyone that could prove what I posted was inaccurate.

Perry's a political animal. He’z had his eyes on this prize for years, even though he arrogantly denied his secret ambitions here in Texas.

In fact, at a new conference he said exactly this, “what part of no don't you understand”, in response to a question about THIS very presidential run.

Go check it out.....or you can accept on face value folks calling it a lie.

The constitution requires that Congress meet at least once a year. That’s once too many. LOL.
