Nancy Pelosi Will Force The GOP Slackers To Work

@ 07:24 PM (21 months, 23 days ago)

For the past 12 years, the GOP slackers in Congress have not gone about doing the business of the American people.  But that will end very soon.

Incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has already indicated that she has no intentions of letting the next Congress rest on its laurels.

Tradionally, the new congress convenes the first week in January (after returning from break),thus allowing the new members to be sworn in.  Then, they adjourn until the President delivers the annual State of the Union speech.  However, Nancy Pelosi says she will break that tradition.  The House of Representatives will NOT adjourn for those weeks in January.  Rather, they will be busy working on an ethics reform package and other priorities on the Democratic leadership's agenda.

Memo to GOP: Play time is over!
