My husband came up with a really great idea today. It's been fairly obvious as of late as to how the Republicans in the House and Senate will vote on anything put before them by President Obama -- I mean, one would have to be a hanging salami not to recognize which way their wind blows.
So since we already know how they will vote, why don't we send them all home? Without pay, that is. Think of the thousands of dollars, no millions, we can save! Especially since we'll close down their offices and send their staff home as well. When a bill comes up for a vote, assigned citizens cast votes by proxy -- maybe even out-of-work constituents of theirs can just yell "Nay" everytime a Republican Senator or House member's name is called.
In case of a real national emergency, the GOP elect can fly back to DC on the corporate jets of the companies in whose pockets they reside. It works for me.
