See below for what is actually required of the deadbeats:
Section 4:
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.
??? Where does it stipulate congresspeople have to be in Washington D.C. for a specific allotment of time per year?
In fact, until air-conditioning was invented and installed in the buildings in D.C., congressmen were not there during the summer months; because it was too freaking hot and humid during the summer months. Where were they, then? if not traveling, they were in their home districts, presumably you know, serving their constituents.
IT's TIME; it's time for congress to come home, return to their home districts and explain themselves to WE THE PEOPLE.
Explain TO US, to our faces-- at at least bi-monthly town hall meetings. WHAT is their plan to get our economy back on track, create the millions of good paying, decent benefits jobs we obviously need. these meetings would cover progress on the plan, next steps, and so forth; just like a business is run.
We all know by now most congressmen are actually in D.C. just three to four days per week. so what's the point? aren't they on "spring break" right now?
The notion that congresspeople cannot conduct most of their official business via telecommunications, using the obviously advanced technology we have-- is nonsense.
Having our congressperson home where he/she belongs, facing US, just might put and end to the massive corruption, nonsense going on in D.C. with the thousands of parasitic corporate lobbyists. these guys show up at the home office? WE ARE there watching, seeing just who these cretins are. We're ASKING our congressperson why is he talking to this or that lobbyist?
yes, it's time to finally get real with our so called government-- or just forget it; fold up the tables and chairs and let us choose a different, better system.
