Setting The Record Straight: The House is Just Fine

Setting The Record Straight: The House is Just Fine

The media and the pundits would have you believe the Republican House members are running around like the keystone cops.  We have heard things like “total disarray”, “held hostage by the Tea Party” and more.  However, if you believe this, you would be wrong.

The House of Representatives operate by a set of rules that govern how business is conducted in the House. Many new Representatives that came to Washington in the past two elections are angry because they cannot get anything done. Why? The House rules stop them in their tracks. Who benefits from these archaic rules, the establishment politicians?

To be clear, there are as many Establishment Democrats that do not want the rules changed as well. So who wins and who losses? The Voters!

Actually, what we are all observing is a process where open debate and negotiations is not pretty, but necessary in a Democracy.  When an elected body is NOT operating and getting the peoples work done, the body politic MUST change.

So don’t listen to the pundits and the crazed media.  Stop, think and then decide for yourself. Contact your representatives and let them know CLEARLY what you want. Then, be patient for the process to work it out.
