I guess everyone is watching C-span, and listening to the speeches on the floor. Of course, it is just their ideas,and what the powerful lobbyists are twisting their arms to get them to do... plus what their constituents are telling them (they need to get re-elected). I see the need to get the vote in..to help stop this horrible dilemma , and maybe...just maybe, someone gets in office to weed our the useless stuff. Stella
