Lawmakers Still Working as Holidays Near
By JESSE J. HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer
December 17, 2005
2 hours, 7 minutes ago (presumably around 4am?? saturday)

WASHINGTON - Congress is facing a weekend and more of work as it seeks
pre-holiday agreements on the Patriot Act, military spending and the
largest of the government's domestic appropriations bills.

The House and Senate planned to work through Saturday, and possibly
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, to try to wrap up their work before ending
the legislative year.

-snip-

Also (reference to patriot act) stalled are the Republicans' $40
billion-plus, five-year spending cut plan, the $453 billion defense
budget and a $602 billion appropriations bill for the departments of
Labor, Education and Health and Human Services.

-snip-

Adding uncertainty to the defense bill is a bid by Sen. Ted Stevens
(news, bio, voting record), R-Alaska, to attach a plan for oil
drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. That legislation
already blends Pentagon funding and money for the war in Iraq with
hurricane relief aid and a scaled-down plan to fight bird flu.

-snip-

***

these snips reference legislation still in progress this weekend.

THESE ARE ENORMOUS BILLS AND SCHEMES TO MANIPULATE THEM, AND

MANIPULATE US WITH THEM!!


PLEASE ACT IMMEDIATELY!!!


responsibility and
solidarity

1. Keeping Congress in Washington over this weekend...

sets the stage for the worst kind of leadership shenanigans. We need night owls to keep an eye on the proceedings from gavel to gavel. This is the kind of scenery that is the neo-cons favorite habitat. People are on weekend mode, thinking that a "day off" is a "day off".

media - made it look like recess had already started, or would any minute.
