It’s Sunday, Gunner . . be a little patient with someone trying to learn the layout. It may be a little sloppy . . but can you tell I’m very proud to live in Burke County and have such a fine Representative?
Mark Meadows included this in his weekly email newsletter:
“Last week, after months of prayer and deliberation, I chose to file House Resolution 385, calling for a change in leadership in the House of Representatives. The decision to pursue new leadership in the House isn’t about personalities or individuals, but about creating a dialogue around the need for institutional change to allow for open debate and true representative government in the House. Under the current leadership, a few at the top make the decisions on incredibly consequential legislation impacting the entire nation. H.Res. 385 outlines several correcting measures that, if enacted, will make sure the American people have a voice on the critical votes coming up in Congress this Fall.

The American people spoke on Election Day 2014. They told their elected representatives in Washington that they were tired of the “Washington Way” of back-door dealing and the power being consolidated in the hands of a few House members. Whether you are a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent, your voice deserves to be heard in Washington. I am committed to working to create a more open discourse within the House of Representatives and working with my colleagues to ensure the voices of the American people are heard. I want to thank you for the overwhelming outpouring of support that so many have expressed for making your voice a priority in Washington, D.C. “
