Blondie121 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi all. I have often said we should not complain about Iraq's slowness to accomplish anything. We taught them all they know. As proof of this, I am now again sending you what OUR government has accomplished last week. The Senate: 1. Passed a stop gap budget to fund our government from Oct. 1 through Nov. 15 after having deleted a rider to defuse Obamacare. (Revised HJ Res. 59) 2. They also voted to strip HJ Res 59 - above of House language to block discretionary spending (Obama Care) 3. They also voted to end a filabuster (sp) against HJ 59 and advance the bill to passage in the Senate. and 4. Agreed to move to consideration of HJ 59 after Senator Cruze talked for 21 hours to postpone action on this measure. The House: 1. Defeated a bid to protect water quality and supplies in the event Resolution Copper Mining opens a mine in Southeast Arizona as a result of a land swap bill (HR 351) which is still in the house for debate. (My comment - nice to see them looking ahead!) 2. Passed a bill to avert the planned closure of the federal Helium Reserves on Oct. 1 and keep the facility open through 2021. My Personal Comment only: Iraq - Keep watching as we continue to show you how to make your government work for the people and not for individuals or individual projects. Go RV - please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
