Attend to the United States Congress

 

There's a tendency among Americans to pay attention to presidential politics to the exclusion of what's going on in the United States Congress. The drama of the presidency is easy to follow. After all, it centers on one person. The Congress, on the other hand, is made up of hundreds of people.

There's no doubt that the President of the United States is important, but under the Constitution, the Congress are a co-equal branch of government.

This lens focuses on the activities of Congress, helping to direct people to resources through which they can learn more about who represents them, and how the laws of the land are changing, for good and for bad.

Music Cartoon Video: All I Want From Congress

Why do Americans oppose the Democrats in Congress so much, just one year after they were elected to majority control? They have failed to stand up to George W. Bush. All I want from Congress is my freedom back, for war to end, and the environment clean. That's not too much to ask. Now, it's time for the Democrats to deliver, or lose America's support for good.
