Go Back To Work Congress

It is clear to me that Congress needs to get back to what they are paid to do. draft and Pass legislation. That is there job and they are not doi9ng it. This energy bill that is being held up in Congress is really begining to tick me off. If I do not go to my job on the day that I am scheduled and DO my job I will lose it. These democrats do not want to go on record before the election on how they would vote. Senator John McCain on Monday issued a personal challenge to his Democratic rival to “come back into town and come back to work.”

Good for you McCain lets give them a challenge. McCain also challenged Mr. Obama to gather hi fellow democrats to get of vacation and come to work. Mr. Obama campaign manager responded “If Senator McCain is willing to pass a compromise that provides immediate relief to consumers in the form a $1,000 energy rebate and makes a serious investment in renewable energy, Senator Obama would be happy to join him in calling on Congress to return,” Bill Burton, Obama campaign spokesman, said. “But if he continues to reject any compromise that takes away tax breaks for the same oil companies that have given millions to his campaign, as he did on Friday, we’d rather not waste the American people’s tax dollars,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

Who knows when we will really get something done with Congress. What is it going to take for us to get something done. If they do not pass this within the next week they probably will not get to it till January. If they vote on it now though we can actually be doing something by January. It takes a while for the bill to actually go totally through and for companies to take advantage of the law.
