Can we just sink Washington DC and flood the whole area. (I know, it would pollute the whole Chesapeake bay) But with the way they do business, who needs them!

“Boehner Decries “Phantom Amendments” Added to Senate Health Care Bill After Committee Vote
Will Introduce Resolution to Require 24-Hour Online Posting to Prevent Similar Deception in House, Allow Public to Read Bills Online After Committee Votes
Washington, Oct 8 -
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today expressed outrage after learning that Senate Democratic leaders quietly made more than 70 substantive changes to the text of a health care bill after the legislation was voted on and passed by the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee. The changes were made without a vote and without the knowledge of the committee’s minority members. Boehner condemned the practice of adding such “phantom amendments” to bills, and announced that Republicans will introduce a resolution that would change House rules to require committees to post the actual text of adopted bills and amendments online within 24 hours to prevent similar acts of deception.”

If the public is an informed public, they would have real problems and all be elected only one time.
It is possibly our last chance to stop this country from sliding away, soon we will have a king and queen, if we allow them to go on with all their plans.
