The new 110th Congress will provide some interesting events in the weeks and months to come. If you have the opportunity, watch CSPAN to see how your individual representative or senator is doing.
Democrats will push to raise the minimum wage. According to MSNBC, the increase would occur over 26 months. Watch how your representative and senator vote on these important bills.
According to The Huffington Post, President Bush will ignore his military experts and work to increase our troop levels in Iraq. Remember when he said he was listening to his generals? Obviously he is not listening and he is also forcing retirement on those in the military who disagree with him. Very sad. While Bush pushes to increase the number of our military into Iraq, more of our service members are dying or being maimed. (See http://icasualties.org/oif/ for information.)
* A new poll by USA Today and Gallup shows that ---
...... 59% of Americans disapprove of Bush's job as president
...... 72% disapprove of the situation in Iraq and only 26% approve.
Don't you wonder what took some people so long to come to their senses?
