1. Jackson-Lee on now
suggesting that all reps hold town meetings in their districts on the $87 billion. Congress isn't even getting a full accounting of the expenditures. Americans are suffering because of the money drained from education, etc. It isn't reasonable to ask reps to vote to approve the $87 billion without giving the info.

3. Kudos to the whole group.
Their discussions are measured and reasoned. Makes me proud to be a Dem. (And ticked as all get-out that they have to meet this late at night to be heard!)
