Scream At Congress Now!

Its pretty bad when Congress is about to do something that really pisses off Molly Ivins. And, if you read Molly regularly you know she is boiling inside.

Either the so-called "lobby reform bill" is the contemptible, cheesy, shoddy piece of hypocrisy it appears to be ... or the Republicans have a sense of humor.

The "lobby reform" bill does show, one could argue, a sort of cheerful, defiant, flipping-the-bird-at-the-public attitude that could pass for humor. You have to admit that calling this an "ethics bill' requires brass bravura.

There's contact info over in the right margin. Tell your congress critter you're tired of the insults to your intelligence and you want real reform immediately.

As you can see in the article, Congress doesn't think you give a damn. Show them they just don't get it. Tell them you're tired of their taking "junkets" to Scottland for golf when you're struggling to buy gas so you can go to work. Tell them you don't appreciate their dining (free!) at an upscale restaurant while a couple Happy Meals™ are starting to look like an investment. Tell them you didn't elect them as monarchs.
