    Why do so many Congressman go along to get along in DC? Turn up the volume and listen to grown adults, each paid $174,000/year, boo and groan when they are called to push little buttons and record their votes. Peer-pressure causes many votes to go unrecorded.

    My platform of personal liberty, fiscal responsibility, economic freedom, and constitutionally limited government prevails in all 20 counties and garners 62% to 72% of the vote every election cycle. This plank is on my license plate if there’s any doubt.

    This pie is $4000 billion per year. $5 billion represents 5/4000 or 1/800th of this pie.

    I’m above “ad hominem.” This was “ad caninem.”

    This is progress. Most of these bills were going to go by unanimous consent without knowledge of 99% of Congress - not even a voice vote! Now we will vote and members know a few hours in advance. Always amazes me how mad some get when asked to do their jobs - voting!

    The Constitution requires a quorum to do business, but Congress tends to run stuff through at the end of the year with almost no one on the floor. I’ve been on the floor for 6+ hours. My request: Tell us what bills we’re voting on and reinstate our power to decide matters of war.

    If Congress doesn’t pass an Omnibus by Dec. 21st, we won’t have a government . It’d be hard to even characterize it as a government slowdown! I made this graphic to show what shuts down (less than 10%) and what keeps going (over 90%!). The media isn’t telling you this!

    I had to speak out. Late last night, the Rules committee issued a resolution for the Farm Bill that violates the Constitution & the War Powers Act of 1973. We vote on this resolution TODAY! My full floor speech can be found here -

    Does your Congressman know what’s hidden in a procedural vote on the Farm Bill today? Does he or she care? To avoid a debate on whether the US should be involved in a war in Yemen, today our leadership will trick members into suspending the provisions of the War Powers Act. SAD!

    and I introduced a resolution to force a vote on US involvement in Yemen war. The War Powers Act requires a vote within 15 days of introduction. GOP leadership is preventing a vote by hiding language in a resolution for the Manage our Wolves Act. !

    I love tweets that prove themselves false by their mere existence.
