In a letter to Pelosi (D-Calif.) obtained by The Hill, the Texas governor wrote: "I am in Washington Monday and would love to engage you in a public debate about my Overhaul Washington plan versus the congressional status quo.
"I think it would be a tremendous service to the American people to see a public airing of these differences," he continued. "Let the people decide. If Monday doesn't work, perhaps we could find a time in Iowa over the course of the next month to discuss these issues in front of the people of America's heartland."....
Pelosi's office did not answer The Hill's question about whether she would meet with the Texas governor.
"Should you choose not to respond or engage in such a healthy discussion, I will take it to mean you will continue your obstructionist ways in the face of much needed Washington reform," Perry wrote.... The Hill

I wouldn’t say Cornyn “balked”
I’m glad to see him go on the offensive.
I think if you just told the Senate that they could be in session for a maximum of 100 days a year...it’d start to really change things in DC. The guys in the Senate have become like some Hollywood crowd, and it’s become comical how more people can name more Senators today instead of NFL quarterbacks. Years ago, most folks were lucky if they knew their own state’s senators.

The idea of a part-time Congress could be as big as the Tea Party.
This issue alone, could win many elections.
Everybody gets this.
Pretty gutsy move!

This kind of thinking is emblematic of the problem! We don't need a response from a bunch of posturing, preening, media whores to every event in the world. Congress meets full time now and DOESN'T DO IT'S JOB! It intrudes on our lives. It tells us whaat kind of light bulbs we can buy, what kind of TV we need and what speed we should drive at but it hasn't passed a damned budget in three years!!!!
Perry is absolutely correct. Half time Congress. Half pay. Half staff.
Washington has now so interjected itself into every element of American life that they now believe that America can’t run unless they’re constantly meddling. Hoyer is clearly clueless and Cornyn is also a big part of the problem.
Perry was absolutley right when he said Washington needs to become inconsequential and he’s now laid out some specific proposals to do just that. The only problem is that the entire power structure has at this point has become so entrenched that nothing short of a nuclear detonation in DC will get the job done.

Anyway, the smaller government is the less we would need representin' to protect us from it.
