Letter: Keeping up with Congress

Thanks to the Eagle for printing a section on how our members of Congress vote. Has anyone else noticed how often Sens. Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions split their vote? Alabama gets an equal share of 2 percent in the Senate, and these bozos seem to throw our voice away nearly half the time.

The next time they split, they should be fired. I don’t care what party they are from, if the bill is Constitutional and they agree it is in the best interest of Alabama, they both vote “yes” Otherwise, they both vote “no.”

Back to the Eagle — please consider adding a check-block near each bill if it only has provisions in it stemming from powers granted to Congress. Don’t worry about ever having to mark it; there will always be something ridiculous tacked on. Recently they created thought police (in direct violation of the 14th Amendment) and added them to the defense bill in the form of hate-crime legislation.

I would just like to point out how often they are doing the business of interest, instead of abiding their charter.
