The health care reform thing has been beyond acrimonious and even though it’s supposed to be over now, it is still
sucking all of the oxygen out of Washington, DC at an alarming rate. On Monday, Senator McCain reportedly told the media that there would be no bi-partisanship in Congress for the rest of the year.
“There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year. They have poisoned the well in what they’ve done and how they’ve done it.”
I understand that everyone is pissed off, but I’d like to think our representatives are also adult enough to put this behind them and move on to helping those in need.
Last week Senator Leahy introduced the Growing Farm to School Programs Act (S.3123) that would provide high quality fresh foods to school kids and also support America’s family farms. This is a bill worth passing – immediately.
So, seriously U.S. Senators – just do your job. Millions of Americans go to work every day and do their jobs even while they are pissed at their co-workers. Do the same and pass this bill.
