Constant Conservative

The 111th Congress has begun. It is time for all of us to not abscond to a quiet cabin on the shore of a lake somewhere north of Palintown. We must become educated on the bills which are being introduced and move quickly to ensure that they are not sliding through a “bipartisan” Congress like a Kilo-class sub heading under the ice pack out of Archangel.

An excellent place keep track of those things which will be occupying Washingtonians for the next while is Washington Watch. A sampling of the bills which have already been submitted are as follows:

S. 2
A bill to improve the lives of middle class families and provide them with greater opportunity to achieve the American dream

S. 4
A bill to guarantee affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans, and for other purposes

H.R. 20
To provide for research on, and services for individuals with, postpartum depression and psychosis

H.R. 25
To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States

Many more may be found by following the above link. Over the next weeks and months, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on these. Briefly (going by their names alone) I can say I’m in favor of H.R. 25 and against S. 2, S. 4 and H.R. 20. Would that it were so simple.
