Thanks! And I have to give Senator Sanders for how hard he's been working on this issue
I really don't get it, aren't all members of Congress elected to pass measures that make life better for their constituents and the American people?? What I see from current Republicans appears to be just the opposite! How they get any votes from their constituents is a complete mystery to me - or don't these folks follow any news?? 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
