(#4583) The House will be back in session next week

      There will be action on the legislative front next week when the House cuts its August recess short. The work in the House will be on the 2 infrastructure bills from the Senate and the voting rights bill that needs to pass the House and then move to the Senate. It will be an interesting week next week on all the legislation being passed. I think it is appropriate that our congresspersons are coming back, at least in the House, to get our nation moving on this very important legislation. What I had also hoped for was movement on the George Floyd policing reform bill but republicans in the Senate are dragging it out so as to stall or end the attempt.
     Which reminds me that we need to gear up toward the 2022 election so that we can get more democrats elected into office to help with passing much needed positive legislation to get us out of this working middle poor class repressive paradigm. Nothing should be done as a traditional means when it comes to legislation. All hands on deck to get our democratic agenda, which is the vast majority of Americans agenda, instilled into law. For too many long decades the working middle poor class have been looked upon by republicans as a scourge not to be touched by compassion nor equity. Well those days may be behind us and when the House comes back into session we will see that.
     The second half of the Biden administration first term will depend on those of us who turned out to give him the first half of his first term with a democratic majority in Congress. We must turn out again in even greater numbers to add to those majorities and let the republican party know that their style of traitorous, dangerous, idiotic politics has no home in our proud democracy. I know I will be doing everything I can to help us democrats increase our majorities in Congress as well as in the state houses. I look forward to the debates that are going to come next week about how to pass the infrastructure bills and how the voting rights bill takes shape and goes to the Senate.
