Plan to visit Capitol Hill in DC today….in Washington with rural telephone coop folks from Alaska to Florida…Probably hundreds of different organizations calling on their Senators and Representatives every week…You name the groups…Don’t always get to see the Congressman or the Senators…They are in committee meetings or in session..or in caucuses….and the staffer, many young folks interested in getting some DC experience, have no idea what you are talking about…
If you don’t stay connected with what is going on in DC, just remember, your counterparts are…..Congress, FCC, Department of Agriculture…the agencies that make the laws and rules are endless….
Think you want to be a member of Congress, sleep in your office? Over 100 are now doing that, according to reliable sources, showering in the gym….Many are in DC about 3 to 4 nights a week…If you want to rent an efficiency apartment, the cost, I am told, is in the range of $2,000 a month and you sign a contract…Many arrive in DC late Monday or early Tuesday and are out of town by Thursday or Friday p.m. visiting constitutes in their districts or talking with supporters about raising $’s for the next election…
Raise millions of dollars to get elected and no place to “lay their tired” body…Think I prefer sleeping in my bed….7 nights a week…
A night or two in DC makes me appreciate my home area even more…
Love is timeless, it’s the memory of yesterday, the happiness of today and the promise of tomorrow.
If you can’t sleep, don’t count sleep. Talk to the Shepherd.
When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble…
