H.R. 1835: Legislation for Natural Gas Transportation

Michael,

I hope I am wrong, and that you are correct.
It is very sad to lose faith in Congress.

H.R. 1835: Legislation for Natural Gas Transportation

Hey Mike, H.R. 1835 is ONE of 456 Bills waiting for House Committee on Ways and Means Members to work on.
(yes, I counted them)

However Members of Congress only work on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, 103 days a year Max.

The vast majority of proposed Legislation NEVER make it out of Committee.
Forget about contacting your Congress Member.
You are only spinning your wheels.
They get millions of emails, snailmails, phone calls, Fax's
and personal visits.

They vote for what THEY want.
The only thing that effects them is they do not get reelected.
And that only happens if they find a boatload of cash in their Freezer.

How much do we pay these people to help us ?
$174,000 a year, for a 3 day work week, that comes to
$3,346.15 per week.
