August Recess and Saturday Session

Take summer school and wrap it up with a trip to the dentist while having blue balls and you understand the pain I am feeling right now.

We are trying to wrap up session and bring the people more access to environmental friendly energy policy like bike tax credits, car pooling, and incentivize solar, wind and maritime energy sources.

We are trying to wrap up work and it is a gorgeous saturday monring. The schedule that came out says we will be here all night and most likely into tomorrow morning. Our republican friends are offering amillion procedural moves to prolong the agony. We still have an energy bill, FISA gap fiz, defense appropriations. We have already increased minimum wage, provided health care to 5 million children without any access to care, passed preventative care and more access for dental care, we pushed more math and science education, increased global competitiveness....we are so close to our goals.

The Hill on Saturday session is weird, people are grumpy, the Cafeteria is open but not full service so bacon but no eggs, deli meats no bread etc...
