As was pointed out in the hearing, there certainly were a LACK of Republicans at the hearing. If you are unfortunate enough, as I am, to have a Republican representative to Congress, then you should write to them to chide them for their inattendance at this key hearing. As Congressman Conyers noted, ALL Republicans were invited. Also, if you happen to live in a Democratic Congressional district and you representative either did not attend todays hearing or did not sign onto the letter requesting a GAO investigation, then you should write to them and tell them to get onboard. With the Republicans in the majority, the only way that pressure is going to come for OFFICIAL hearings and action is by pressure on the majority.
